On December 4, Guangzhou held a press conference on epidemic prevention and control.
Zhang Yi, deputy director of the Guangzhou Municipal Health Commission, said at the meeting that among the locally infected people reported in this round of the epidemic, there were 656 elderly people aged 80 and over, and 302 of them had not been vaccinated against the new crown.
At present, the first dose of the new crown vaccine for the elderly over 80 years old in the city is only 52.7%, which shows that there are still a considerable number of elderly people who have not yet completed the vaccination, and the current vaccination rate of the elderly has not yet formed a barrier sufficient to resist severe illness and death. It is very urgent and necessary to increase the vaccination rate of the elderly.
Various districts of Guangzhou have released 231 new crown vaccination sites to provide vaccination services for citizens.
In the process of organizing vaccinations, the community fully considered the elderly's age and limited mobility, and adopted a variety of convenient services.
Recently, the new crown vaccine in Guangzhou is sufficient. Citizens and friends who meet the vaccination requirements, especially elderly friends, and citizens who have not completed the booster vaccination, please take the initiative to go to the nearest vaccination site for health assessment and complete vaccination, so as to jointly build a solid immune barrier.
