According to the results of previous clinical trials, these three vaccines have a high positive conversion rate of neutralizing antibodies after vaccination, and the antibody levels are comparable to those of adults, and some are higher than those of adults.
Regarding the adverse reactions that everyone is worried about, Wang Huaqing pointed out that at present, the number of children aged 3-11 has exceeded 140 million, and from the monitoring results, the adverse reactions are generally stable and there is no abnormal situation. Among the adverse reactions that occur, they are also the same as other groups, mainly fever, and local reactions, most of which are general reactions.

Which children cannot be vaccinated against COVID-19? Wang Huaqing explained that there are mainly the following situations: the first case is that if you are allergic to the new crown vaccine or are allergic to the ingredients in the new crown virus vaccine, you cannot be vaccinated. The second case is that the vaccine of the same technical route has been previously vaccinated, and an acute allergy has occurred, which is also one of the cases in which it cannot be vaccinated. The third situation is that no matter what kind of vaccine was given in the past, as long as a serious allergic reaction occurred, it was also a contraindication. The fourth condition is whether the patient has complete control of severe neurological disorders, including transverse myelitis, as well as demyelinating lesions. In the fifth case, if the child is in a fever period or has an acute illness or an acute onset of a chronic disease, or if a serious chronic disease is not effectively controlled, these conditions are also cases in which vaccination is not possible.
"Of course, there are some other specific regulations, whether it is the recipient or the doctor who is vaccinated, according to the other specific provisions of the instructions to implement, grasp the contraindications, grasp the safety of vaccination." Wang Huaqing said.
