With the increase in the production capacity of the new crown vaccine, Sichuan Province is gradually carrying out the vaccination of ordinary individuals. Since this month, Sichuan Province has launched an online appointment service for the new crown vaccine, and individuals can make appointment registration and inquiry services through the "Sichuan Tianfu Health Pass" Mini Program.

Professor Liang Zong'an, director of the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine at West China Hospital of Sichuan University, who has received two doses of the new crown vaccine, appealed: For you and me, get vaccinated!
Achieving "herd immunity"
It is particularly necessary for every citizen to be vaccinated against COVID-19
Liang Zongan said in an interview that China is currently an epidemic prevention policy of "external prevention of import and internal prevention of rebound", and this policy will continue for a long time. At present, the domestic epidemic situation has been basically controlled, while the foreign epidemic situation is still relatively serious, in this case, if we want to maintain an open state, we must consider the realization of herd immunity.
By the end of June this year, vaccination in the United States may exceed 70%-80% of the population, and the current united states has reached 100 million vaccinations, while our domestic vaccination volume is only 70 million, according to this ratio, we only reach 5%, which is completely insufficient to achieve herd immunity." If the world can vaccinate 60-70% of the population by the end of June, then we will become an island of herd immunity, in this case, the country is the most dangerous area, so to achieve the goal of herd immunization, vaccination is necessary, and every citizen should be vaccinated. He said.
Vaccination "can be assured"
The safety and effectiveness of the 5 new crown vaccines used in China are guaranteed
According to Liang Zongan, there are currently 5 new crown vaccines in use in China, including 3 inactivated vaccines, 1 adenovirus vector vaccine, and 1 recombinant protein vaccine, and the safety and efficacy are guaranteed.
"Among these 5 vaccines, the safety of inactivated vaccines is beyond doubt, this is a traditional vaccine, the production process is very standard, and its effectiveness has been verified in existing clinical studies." Adenovirus vector vaccines and recombinant protein vaccines are now published with relatively little information, and in general, the clinical study of vaccines is more stringent than all drug requirements, so we must remember that as long as it is approved by the state, its effectiveness and safety are guaranteed.
At present, there are still some restricted groups of people in China's new crown vaccination, but in fact, the new crown vaccine is to protect these people, such as people with underlying diseases, children and the elderly. Liang Zongan believes that from the existing research abroad, the vaccination of the elderly and children, and even people with underlying diseases are not a big problem of new crown vaccination. "I think this part of the population with underlying disease can adopt the principle of voluntariness, that is, to sign informed consent to get vaccinated, so that this part of the population can avoid contracting the new crown, resulting in severe or critical illness, which is actually an important aspect of protecting all people." It's just that people with underlying medical conditions should be vaccinated with caution and follow standard procedures to take some precautions to avoid accidents. ”
Liang Zongan revealed that the main COVID-19 vaccine in Sichuan Province is an inactivated vaccine from Sinopharm, of course, Sichuan Province is also purchasing other types of vaccines, including adenovirus vector vaccines and recombinant protein vaccines. Another vaccine is from Fosun, which is an mRNA vaccine jointly produced by Fosun and BioNTech and Pfizer, and is now also preparing to approve import and marketing.
Expert Q&A
Where to get vaccinated? Can people with allergies get vaccinated?
Where can individuals get the COVID-19 vaccine? Liang Zongan pointed out that according to China's requirements, vaccination is generally in the community health service center and township health center, but the new crown vaccine is more special, "from the information I got, the Sichuan Provincial Health Commission requires large medical institutions to carry out new crown vaccination, so everyone can make an appointment for vaccination in the hospital or at the community health service center."
On March 16, the Sichuan Provincial Health Commission announced 100 appointment vaccination sites for the Sichuan NEW CROWN vaccine, and the public can make their own appointments.
Can people with allergies get vaccinated? Liang Zongan said that people with allergies should be cautious and careful when vaccinating. "Because almost all of our vaccines contain protein components, we may cause some allergic reactions when we get vaccinated. But in fact, when people with allergic diseases are vaccinated, due to the difference in physical constitution of allergies, some people are allergic and some people are not allergic. I think people with allergies can also be vaccinated, but the vaccination process should be careful and careful, of course, it is also necessary to take the principle of voluntariness to vaccinate. ”
