Datong Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention: Take the baby to complete the full vaccination as soon as possible

At present, the new crown vaccine still has a protective effect on delta and Omicron variants, especially the protective effect on the prevention of severe illness and death, and the whole and timely vaccination of the new crown vaccine (including reinforcing needles) is still one of the important measures to prevent "Delta" and "Omikejong". On February 8, it was learned from the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention that nearly 440,000 school-age children and adolescents in our city were vaccinated against the new crown, but there is still an immunization gap, and some parents still have concerns about vaccinating their children with the new crown vaccine. Experts call on parents to seize the time to take the time to take their babies to get the new crown vaccine before the winter vacation starts.

According to experts from the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the childcare institutions or schools where children and adolescents are located are relatively dense places, and once there is a new crown virus infection, it is easy to cause widespread transmission and epidemic. Vaccination against COVID-19 can obtain the corresponding immunity, thereby effectively reducing the risk of illness, severe illness and death, while children and adolescents will also be transmitted to the surrounding people after infection, vaccination against COVID-19 is of great significance to improve the level of population immunity and block the epidemic of new crown pneumonia. According to the unified deployment, the city will continue to carry out new crown vaccination work in the 15-17-year-old, 12-14-year-old, 3-11-year-old population from 2021. At present, the first dose coverage rate of the 3-11-year-old population in our city is less than 85%; the whole vaccination rate is only 68%, and only one dose cannot provide effective protection for individuals, and only by completing all doses of vaccination in accordance with the immunization procedure can a good immune effect be achieved.

The Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention reminds that children and adolescents, like adults, are the key groups to build an immune barrier. Recently, the mainland has reported the new crown pneumonia epidemic in many places, in order to give children an extra layer of protection, parents are invited to look at the new crown vaccination scientifically, rigorously and rationally. At the same time, experts once again called on people over the age of 3 who have not been vaccinated against the new crown to complete the full vaccination as soon as possible.
