Containing "vaccine scalpers" needs to make a fuss on the distribution mechanism

　　According to a report from China News Agency on December 28, the nine-valent HPV vaccine has always been in short supply. The "network battlefield" for booking vaccines is very fierce. Often the vaccines are released within one second. This phenomenon has given birth to professional scalpers. Snatch vaccines, smuggle Hong Kong vaccines, etc.

　　Scarce or in short supply, metropolises attract scalpers, such as train tickets, hospital expert numbers, and tickets for cultural and sports activities.

In recent years, the nine-valent HPV vaccine has always been a scarce resource, and the huge vaccination demand gap is superimposed on the 26-year-old age-appropriate vaccination upper limit, which has aggravated people's vaccination anxiety.

These have given the scalpers opportunity and space.

　　"Vaccine scalpers" may bring many problems. For example, it will increase the financial burden of the vaccinators, may leak the private information of the vaccinators, and there are risks such as unknown sources of vaccines and insecurity of efficacy. Related personnel may also be suspected of computer-related issues. Crime etc.

In addition, some scalpers cannot get the vaccine at all, just swindling the money of the vaccinators.

In other words, the "vaccine scalper" disrupted the order of vaccine distribution, violated the rights of other vaccinators, and harmed the fairness of vaccination.

　　It is both necessary and urgent to crack down on "vaccine scalpers" and uncover "inner ghosts" that may exist in some places or units, and make them pay the necessary legal price.

At the same time, it is necessary to tighten the fence of the vaccine distribution mechanism and plug the loopholes, so as not to give the "vaccine scalper" any opportunity.

　　According to reality, the tight supply of the nine-valent HPV vaccine is difficult to change in a short period of time, and those in need will have to live a life of "more monks and less porridge".

In this context, relevant departments should enhance the "immunity" of the vaccine distribution mechanism, and use scientific and reasonable system design and management measures to make the vaccine distribution mechanism more just, fair, and transparent.

　　In this regard, some places have begun to actively explore.

For example, in Shenzhen, women with no household registration and ID card ages of 16 to 26 years and 5 months can participate in lottery, video recording the whole process and accept social supervision; Guangxi Center for Disease Control has issued "upgrade and enhance human-computer verification algorithm, Cancellation of an appointment requires confirmation from the vaccination clinic and operation from the background” and other suggestions.

These practices are worth trying.

　　In addition, guiding people to choose bivalent and quadrivalent HPV vaccines based on actual conditions through popular science is also a useful way to relieve the pressure of nine-valent HPV vaccination.

Of course, in the long run, we should still make more fuss about improving the fairness and transparency of the vaccine distribution mechanism.

Only by truly protecting the rights and interests of vaccinators can we win the understanding and support of more people, and can also provide experience and reference for more work in the field of health in the future.
