　　On December 15, 2020, China officially launched the vaccination of key populations. Since then, the vaccination of the new crown vaccine has continued to accelerate in various places.

　　100 million, 200 million, 300 million, 400 million, 500 million... "Miao Miao Miao" has pressed the fast forward button.

　　According to data released by the National Health Commission, it took 25 days for vaccination to go from 100 million doses to 200 million doses, 16 days for vaccination from 200 million to more than 300 million doses, and from 300 million doses to over 400 million doses. After 9 days, it took only 7 days to go from 400 million doses to 500 million doses.

　　In addition, recently, the record of single-day vaccination doses has been repeatedly broken.

　　At the same time, from the perspective of the types of new crown vaccines, there are currently 7 new crown vaccines in use in China.

The vaccination rate of people over 18 in these places has exceeded 80%

　　In March this year, Zhong Nanshan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that in June this year, China's new crown vaccination rate is planned to reach 40%.

　　In a recent interview with the media, he also revealed, “If the impact of the new crown on human health is gradually reduced, then the long-term coexistence of the new crown and humans will become possible. We may have to regularly vaccinate like the flu."

　　In fact, the vaccination rate for people over the age of 18 in many areas across the country has exceeded 80%.

　　For example, in Beijing, as of May 18, the "first dose" of the new crown vaccine coverage rate for people aged 18 and over in the city has exceeded 80%.

The city's medical and health, housing construction, urban management, postal express, tourist attractions, star-rated hotels, commercial services and other systems (industry) inoculation rate exceeded 90%.

　　As of 24:00 on May 16, Hainan Province had vaccinated a total of 6,374,800 people, accounting for 82.58% of the population over 18 years old and 63.24% of the population in Hainan Province.

　　In addition, from the perspective of total inoculation doses, Hainan, Guangdong, Shandong, Beijing, Shanghai, Hubei, Hunan, Zhejiang, Henan, Anhui, Chongqing, Sichuan, Tianjin, Guangxi and other provinces have achieved breakthroughs in the number of new crown vaccination doses. Tens of millions.

　　Among them, as of 24:00 on May 20, the cumulative number of inoculations in Guangdong province exceeded 40 million doses.

　　Shao Yiming, a researcher at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, has recently told the media that with the substantial increase in vaccine production capacity by the middle of the year, especially in the second half of the year, the corresponding vaccination rate will also increase. I believe that the goal of establishing a herd immunity barrier will be achieved within the year.

Race against time!

Avoid changing from "anti-epidemic highland" to "immune depression"

　　The domestic vaccination process is accelerating, but there is still a long way to go before the realization of herd immunity.

　　At the same time, the spread of the foreign epidemic situation remains, and mutant strains continue to appear, which also reminds us all the time: we must win this race against time!

　　Just this month, after 22 days of no new local confirmed cases across the country, the epidemic situation occurred again in Anhui and Liaoning.

　　The authorities quickly adopted a series of timely and effective prevention and control measures, and the National Health Commission once again issued a reminder: the epidemic has not passed, the international epidemic continues to be high, the risk of importing to my country has increased, the epidemic prevention and control situation is still severe and complex, and the epidemic prevention and control work It presents the characteristics of long-term, complex, and uncertain, and cannot be relaxed after a while.

　　After the outbreak of the epidemic in Anhui and Liaoning, people everywhere have a high willingness to vaccinate. Anhui has also seen people vaccinate in the rain. In Hefei alone, more than 4 million people have been vaccinated against the new crown.

　　However, disease control experts have emphasized at the State Council’s joint prevention and control mechanism press conference held recently that when there is no epidemic, the public must actively vaccinate when receiving vaccination notices, so that the immune barrier can be established as soon as possible.

Vaccination takes time and process to prevent infectious diseases. Active vaccination should not occur when there is an epidemic.

　　As many authoritative disease control experts said before, if China does not establish an immune barrier as soon as possible, an "immune depression" may be formed.

　　If China wants to avoid changing from an "anti-epidemic highland" to an "immune depression", it must seize the window period, accelerate vaccination, and outperform the second half in global epidemic prevention and control.
