As of April 11
There are more than 1.24 billion people in the country
Complete the full course of vaccination
Other words
Among more than 1.4 billion people in the country
More than 87% have already completed 2 injections
The rest didn't hit
Mainly babies who are too young
and
It was relatively late to "start fighting"
Elderly people 60 years and older
And under the Wave of 2022's Aumechjong
"Naked" elderly people
It has become the most dangerous group
Recently, the country has begun to accelerate the vaccination of the elderly
And the biggest resistance
Precisely from the family who cares about them
Reason one
"If you don't go out anyway, what are you calling for?"
More importantly, there is reason two
"What should I do if I take a vaccine so old and have side effects?"
It's the opposite, family!
The elderly do not get the COVID-19 vaccine
The "side effects" are even greater!
01 The elderly are vaccinated against COVID-19
"Side effects" are lower than in young people
At present, the mainland has received more than 3.3 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccines, and the COVID-19 vaccine from China has also vaccinated hundreds of millions of doses for the elderly worldwide.
In this process, the mainland continues to monitor the abnormal reaction of the new crown vaccine suspected of vaccination, and the results are unexpected by many people -
The rate of adverse reactions reported in the elderly population aged 60 years and older is slightly lower than that of people under 60 years of age.
Even if there is discomfort, it is mainly a general reaction, such as fever, local reactions at the site of vaccination, etc.
A small number of people are abnormal reactions, and only a few people have severe abnormal reactions such as anaphylactic shock (the incidence rate is less than one in a million, and the average of 1 million injected elderly people cannot find 1).
This shows that the "side effects" of vaccination are actually very low.
02 Not vaccinating against COVID-19 has "side effects"
The case fatality rate can be 94 times higher
The elderly are generally weak and sick, if there is no new crown vaccine "body protection", what "side effects" will there be?
On April 12, the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council held a press conference, and Wang Huaqing, chief expert of the immunization program of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, cited data from a latest study in Hong Kong to point out that in the current Epidemic in Omiquerong, the risk of death for people over 60 years old is 252 times that of people under 30 years old.
But if you get the COVID-19 vaccine, the risk of death is greatly reduced.
According to information published by the Department of Health of Hong Kong -
- For unvaccinated people, the case fatality rate is 2.87%
- People who received two doses had a case fatality rate of 0.14%
- People who received three doses had a case fatality rate of 0.03%
This means that among the covid-19 infected people in Hong Kong —
The case fatality rate without vaccination is 19 times higher than that of 2 injections and 94 times higher than that of 3 injections.

Just look at the unvaccinated groups in Hong Kong -
- Overall case fatality rate was 2.87%
- The case fatality rate of the elderly over 80 years old is as high as 15.68%
For the elderly over 80 years old, the case fatality rate is 4.4 times higher.
03 The 3rd injection is completed
The risk of severe illness and death is more than 90% lower
Wang Huaqing suggested that the elderly who meet the conditions should be vaccinated as soon as possible, and in addition, when the immune protection has declined to a certain extent, they should also be injected.
On 22 March, the University of Hong Kong's Li Ka Shing School of Medicine released a study entitled "Forward-looking Planning for the Fifth Wave of the Epidemic in Hong Kong".

One set of vaccine effectiveness data from Hong Kong shows that for the elderly over 60 years old, the three-dose inactivated vaccine, whether from the mainland or abroad, has an effective rate of more than 90% in preventing severe illness and death.

It is worth emphasizing that the study uses real-world data: data on individual cases of mild/severe critical illness/death in Hong Kong between 31 December 2021 and 8 March 2022, as well as census data on vaccinations against Fupitai and Koxing vaccines.
Facts and figures prove it
The elderly are vaccinated against COVID-19
Not only is the "adverse reaction rate" low
And the protective effect is very large
So
Dear family members
Stop blindly preventing the elderly from vaccinating against COVID-19
Don't think your grandparents can't beat in their 90s
Covid-19 vaccinations are currently given
Only the lower age limit
There is no upper age limit
There are chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, and underlying diseases
Nor is it contraindicated to vaccination
Don't think that the elderly don't have to fight when they go out less
A casual young man in the house
all may bring the virus back
If you're not sure about your old age
Whether it is suitable for vaccination
The best thing to do is to go to a nearby vaccination site
Ask your vaccination doctor in person
