Allergies to vaccination, allergies to vaccine components, or severe allergic reactions during previous vaccinations are contraindications to COVID-19 vaccination.

In mid-March, due to the needs of epidemic prevention and control, some residents of Tangyan Village in Futian District, Shenzhen implemented off-site centralized health monitoring, and how to place pets during the epidemic touched everyone's heart. On the evening of March 16, the staff of the Shatou Street Office belonging to Tangyan Village found the New Ruipeng Pet Medical Group and entrusted the other party to establish a pet station.

In the base camp of the station, volunteers work in morning and evening shifts, some people are specifically responsible for taking care of cats, some people are specifically responsible for taking care of dogs, and some volunteers take on the responsibility of customer service, communicate with pet owners, and share the "hair children" in the pet owners in the pet station in the established pet care group.

Pet doctor Yang Junfeng told reporters that many pets will have a stress response to the new environment. Some of the cats that have just been sent over do not eat, are afraid of life, and even have aggression and do not let people touch. After three or five days of adaptation, the pets' hostility towards the volunteers became less pronounced. Yang Junfeng said, "Even when the cat is in good condition, you can still pet the cat." ”

Liu Wei, head of the Group's Greater Bay Area, told reporters that from March 17 to 22, the pet station they were responsible for received a total of 201 pets, including 140 cats, 52 dogs, 1 rabbit, 1 duck and 7 hamsters.

Yang Junfeng said, "When I first started at the pet station, there were many ambulances coming in and out of Tangyan Village every day. Later, I watched as there were fewer and fewer ambulances, and once I saw only one ambulance after a night at work. "The epidemic in Futian District of Shenzhen is slowly being controlled.

The day of separation soon came. The exclusive white of taking care of pets is a bit reluctant. "People who really own pets look at pets as children. The 14-day quarantine is equivalent to a 14-day 'summer camp' for pets, and now the summer camp is over. Liu Wei said, "I hope to alleviate the emotional anxiety of pets and pet owners after isolation." ”

After the withdrawal of the pet station, the pet management work of the quarantined personnel continued in Shenzhen.
