Do the elderly in Shaoxing need to be vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine in 2022 (number of people vaccinated in COVID-19, Shaoxing)

Suggestions on Vaccinating COVID-19 Vaccine for the Urban Elderly

Dear old friends,

Hello everyone!

Recently, the domestic epidemic situation is severe and complicated, showing a multi-source and multi-point distribution state. Many local cases of mutant strains were found in Omicron, and there was a phenomenon of community transmission. In addition, the Spring Festival is approaching, the number of people returning to Shaoxing outside the province is increasing, and the pressure on foreign defense investment in our city continues to increase. In this regard, vaccinating all eligible citizens is the key to reducing infection and establishing an immune barrier for the population, and it is also the most effective and powerful weapon to win the protracted war of epidemic prevention and control.

Among them, it is most necessary for the elderly to be vaccinated. Although compared with young people, the activities of the elderly are limited, but judging from the clustering epidemic in several local areas of the country, activity rooms, food markets, shopping malls, supermarkets, chess rooms and other gathering places for the elderly are high-risk places for the spread of the epidemic. At the same time, the family members of the elderly are in contact with the outside world and there is a risk of family infection. In addition, most elderly people have basic diseases. Once infected, the risk of serious illness and death is much higher than that of young people and children. According to statistics, among the infected cases in the recent epidemic, middle-aged and elderly patients who have not been vaccinated are relatively seriously ill. Although the vaccine can't 100% prevent infection, it can reduce the mortality.

As of June 24th, 2022, COVID-19 vaccine 1 1825000 doses have been inoculated in our city, which shows that the vaccine has good safety, and the incidence of adverse reactions in the elderly is lower than that in adolescents and children. Chronic patients with stable health and well-controlled drugs can be vaccinated, which is not a taboo in COVID-19.

Here, we call on our elderly friends to get vaccinated at COVID-19 Vaccination Point as soon as possible and receive intensive injections as soon as possible.

I wish all old friends a happy New Year, good health, all the best and a happy family!
