84.395 million people have been vaccinated
Mi Feng, spokesman of the National Health and Health Commission, said yesterday that this week, the number of confirmed cases of new crown pneumonia in the world exceeded 250 million, and the number of new confirmed cases in some countries was close to or exceeded the previous high, and the pressure on China's foreign defense import continued to increase. As of now, the current round of the epidemic has affected 21 provinces across the country. With the onset of winter and lower temperatures, the risk of COVID-19 and respiratory infectious diseases such as influenza increases.
Mi Feng pointed out that it is necessary to adhere to the overall strategy of "external prevention of import and internal prevention of rebound", adhere to the epidemic prevention goal of "dynamic clearance", and achieve early detection, rapid disposal, accurate control and effective treatment to ensure that the epidemic does not appear large-scale import and rebound. It is necessary to strengthen the prevention and control of the epidemic in port cities, do a good job in the prevention of people, things and the environment, and strictly control the source to prevent imports.
According to Mi Feng, as of November 12, the cumulative number of new coronavirus vaccines reported nationwide was 2,372,713,000 doses, and the number of people who completed the whole process of vaccination was 1,073.845 million.

Wu Liangyou revealed that at present, China's 3-11-year-old population has been vaccinated 84.395 million people, strengthened immunization has been vaccinated 49.44 million people, will strive to complete the 3-11-year-old population at the end of December.
At the same time, the National Health Commission will guide all localities to rationally arrange resources, coordinate the vaccination of respiratory vaccines such as influenza, and reduce the risk of respiratory infectious diseases and new crown pneumonia.
Once the school is involved in the epidemic, the emergency plan is strictly implemented
In view of the work of epidemic prevention and control in schools, Wang Dengfeng, director of the Prevention and Control Office of the Ministry of Education and director of the Department of Physical Education, Health and Art Education, pointed out at yesterday's press conference that the epidemic situation has not been completely controlled at present, coupled with the frequent occurrence of respiratory diseases in winter, so how to prevent multiple diseases is an important task of the current education system.
Wang Dengfeng stressed that the prevention and control of the epidemic on campus should be "three strict". First, we must strictly control the entry of schools. All teachers and students enter the school with a temperature check to pay attention to their health and travel trajectory. The second is to strictly implement various measures for epidemic prevention and control in schools, strictly follow the technical plan for epidemic prevention and control issued by the National Health Commission and the Ministry of Education on epidemic prevention and control in colleges and universities, primary and secondary schools and childcare institutions, so that all places in schools and places where people gather must strictly implement various measures for epidemic prevention and control to prevent infection in schools. The third is that once the school is involved in the epidemic, it is necessary to strictly implement the emergency plan for epidemic prevention and control, so that it should be isolated as soon as possible, and it is also necessary to prevent the campus epidemic from being related to other aspects of society.
In response to the question of whether to take the winter vacation early, Wang Dengfeng said that in September this year, the Ministry of Education issued a notice requiring schools everywhere to plan this year's winter vacation arrangements as early as possible in accordance with the requirements of epidemic prevention and control, the policy arrangements of the territory, and the learning situation and curriculum progress of the schools. As for whether the winter vacation will be held in advance, it depends on the development of the epidemic situation, and at the same time considers the epidemic prevention and control requirements of the location of the university and the place of origin of the students; according to the actual situation of each school in each place, colleges and universities should be encouraged to make arrangements independently in accordance with the relevant requirements of the territory, combined with the campus prevention and control requirements, curriculum progress, and learning arrangements. "We should understand and support situations where there is a real need for early or postponed holidays." Wang Dengfeng said.
