1. What vaccine is used this time?
Answer: The whole virus inactivated vaccine is used this time. It is a vaccine prepared by chemical methods to make the new coronavirus lose its infectivity and replication ability while retaining the ability to cause human immune response.
The advantage of inactivated vaccines is the traditional and classic vaccine preparation method, which is a mature, reliable and classic vaccine research and development method.
Compared with other technical routes, the inactivated vaccine research and development platform is mature, the production process is stable, the quality standard is controllable, the protection effect is good, the research and development speed is fast, and it is easy to scale production, and has internationally accepted safety and effectiveness evaluation standards.
2. When can the public start vaccinating the new crown vaccine?
A: From January to February 2021, Beijing will organize the vaccinations against the new coronavirus for nine key populations. The relevant vaccinators are requested to carry out the vaccinations in an orderly manner in accordance with the notification arrangements of their units and districts.
The current vaccination strategy is to implement vaccination within the city in accordance with the "two-step" plan.
The first step is mainly to carry out vaccination for key populations, including those who are engaged in import cold chain, port quarantine, ship piloting, aviation air service, fresh food market, public transportation, medical disease control, etc., who are at high risk of infection, as well as those who go to medium and high risks. People who go to work or study in a country or region.
In the second step, with the conditional approval of the vaccine and the gradual increase in vaccine production, more vaccines will be put into use.
Through the orderly implementation of vaccination, eligible people can achieve "everything they need."
3. Where can I get the new crown vaccine?
Answer: This new coronavirus vaccination site is divided into two categories: one is the outpatient vaccination clinic, and the other is the temporary vaccination site.
All districts will set up vaccination sites based on the detailed situation. For specific vaccination locations, relevant vaccinators are requested to pay attention to the notices of their units and districts and conduct vaccination in an orderly manner.
4. How to make an appointment for the new crown vaccine?
Answer: At present, the emergency vaccination of new crown virus vaccines for key populations does not take the way of personal appointments. All districts have made proper arrangements and adopted effective measures to form an orderly connection. The relevant departments in the jurisdiction will organize the vaccination work in an orderly manner.
Persons who leave the country for work or study for private purposes can hold a local household register or residence permit, passport, valid visa (excluding visa-free or visa-on-arrival countries) and necessary certification materials, such as air tickets, certificates issued by labor companies, overseas schools The issued admission notice or invitation letter, etc., go to the neighborhood (township) or community service station where you live for data review. After the review is passed, you can go to the designated vaccination agency for vaccination. Please pay attention to the relevant notices of each district.
5. How many shots of the new crown vaccine?
Answer: The recommended immunization program is 2 injections, at least 14 days apart, and the vaccination site is the deltoid muscle of the upper arm.
Arbitrary adjustment of immune program may affect safety, immune response effect and immune durability.
Please strictly follow the vaccine instructions for the time interval of new crown vaccination.
After the first dose of vaccine, the inoculation unit has the responsibility to inform the recipient of the time of the second dose.
Please follow the appointment time of the vaccination unit for the second vaccination.
6. What are the benefits of getting the new crown vaccine?
Answer: The State Council’s joint prevention and control mechanism held a press conference to announce that more than 60,000 people in my country who have received emergency vaccination have gone to high-risk areas abroad. After strict follow-up observation, no serious infection case reports have been found. Some cases of cluster infections show that the risk and severity of infection for people who have been vaccinated are lower than those for people who have not been vaccinated.
After vaccination, it can stimulate the body to produce immunity against the new coronavirus, suggesting that the vaccine has potential clinical application value.
7. Will the virus mutation affect the vaccine effect?
Answer: Viruses are one of the simplest organisms, and their proliferation depends on living cells.
In the process of multiplication, the virus will mutate, and most of the mutations will not affect the pathogenicity of the virus, the sensitivity of the detection reagent and the effectiveness of the vaccine.
According to the latest information released by the World Health Organization, from the global monitoring of the mutation of the new coronavirus, there is no evidence that the virus mutation will invalidate the existing new coronavirus vaccine.
The World Health Organization Global New Coronavirus Laboratory Network includes a special SARS-CoV-2 virus mutation evolution working group, which is rapidly detecting new mutations of the virus and assessing its possible impact in a timely manner, which will also provide for the subsequent development and application of vaccines Early warning and scientific analysis basis.
8. How long can the antibodies last after being vaccinated with the new crown vaccine?
A: The discovery of the new crown pneumonia virus has not been long, so it is too early to say how long this vaccine can protect, and this conclusion cannot be drawn.
The current evidence suggests that according to the requirements of the World Health Organization, the protection period of the vaccine reaches more than half a year, and there is basically no problem.
9. What are the possible adverse reactions to the new crown vaccine?
Answer: The State Council’s joint prevention and control mechanism held a press conference to announce that common adverse reactions mainly include the following: headache and fever, local blush at the vaccination site, or lumps, and some people have cough, loss of appetite, Common adverse reactions such as vomiting and diarrhea.
