China News Service, January 9th. In response to the question of "when the general population can get the new crown vaccine", Zeng Yixin, deputy director of the National Health Commission and head of the vaccine research and development team of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council, said on the 9th that the vaccine is The vaccination is based on a three-step strategy, based on the output of the vaccine and the judgment of risks and risk factors, to scientifically and rationally design the vaccination strategy, and promote the vaccination of the population according to the gradual increase in vaccine production.
On January 8, medical staff from a Beijing Health Service Center injected vaccines for vaccinators.
Zeng Yixin pointed out that vaccination follows a "three-step" strategy.
The first step is to start key population vaccination on December 15, 2020. Due to the special nature of the job, the risk of contracting the new crown virus is relatively high. Because the epidemic abroad is still relatively serious, so for example, working on flights or border ports. Working in some logistics units, the risk of infection may be relatively high, so we must do a good job in external prevention and import work, first of all to protect this part of the population at high risk of infection, so the high infection risk was launched on December 15, 2020 Vaccination of risk groups.
The second step is the high-risk population, that is, people who are prone to severe illness and even death after being infected with the virus, such as the elderly, people with chronic underlying diseases, and diabetes. After they are infected, the risk of severe illness and death is relatively high.
Therefore, in the second stage, the key population including these people will be vaccinated.
The third step is to vaccinate other general population.
"Why do you do this? If it is rolled out all at once, our vaccine output will not keep up. Therefore, we will scientifically and rationally design the vaccination strategy based on the vaccine output and the judgment of risks and risk factors. Increase to promote the vaccination of the population." Zeng Yixin said.
