The last week of April is the "World Immunization Week" established by the World Health Organization (WHO), and on this occasion, on April 27, the Lanzhou Preventive Medicine Association and a number of units jointly held the "Health Shield - Annual Science Popularization Action on Adult Vaccination Cognition and Behavior" Lanzhou Media Communication Conference.
The "Health Shield - Annual Science Popularization Action on Adult Vaccination Awareness and Behavior" was initiated by People's Daily Online and People's Health, aiming to implement the concept of "prevention first, active health" advocated by Healthy China, and give full play to the role of media platforms to gather "learning-medicine-production-media" resources, so as to continue to promote the popularization of adult vaccine health knowledge, strengthen the society's attention to common vaccine-preventable diseases in adults, and form a good atmosphere for the participation of the whole people.
As an important part of this action, the "Adult Vaccination Awareness and Behavior Survey" focuses on the necessity and economy of adult vaccination, and the choice and cognition of adult vaccines.
Qi Yuejun, vice president of Lanzhou Preventive Medicine Association, said that the "Healthy China Initiative" has shifted from focusing on disease treatment to disease prevention, and is actively promoting the whole life cycle health promotion work for key groups such as the elderly and adult women. Only by guiding people to take the initiative to pay attention to their own health and correctly integrate the awareness of vaccination into their daily lives can we fundamentally and effectively improve the overall social health level of the mainland.
Jiang Yongping, Chief of the Immunization Planning Section and Deputy Chief Pharmacist of Lanzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention, shared the theme.
At present, there are about 40 vaccine-preventable diseases in the mainland, including cervical cancer, herpes zoster, influenza, pneumonia and other common adult diseases. "At present, there is still a common misunderstanding about the preventability of common diseases such as shingles and cervical cancer, and the protective effect, economic value and safety of vaccines are not properly understood. Jiang Yongping, chief of the immunization planning department and deputy chief pharmacist of the Lanzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention, believes that the cognitive bias of adult vaccines has led to a lack of vaccination action, which has brought health risks to the public and increased the medical and economic burden of the social public health system to a certain extent.
Zhao Gengli, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Peking University First Hospital, and master's tutor, made a theme sharing.
Cervical cancer is currently the only cancer with a clear etiology that can be prevented and controlled. In this regard, Zhao Gengli, a supervisor of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and a master's degree supervisor of Peking University First Hospital, suggested that the public's scientific understanding of HPV vaccine should be strengthened, and called on women of appropriate age to choose HPV vaccine should not be based on the price as a single criterion, but should pay attention to the overall anti-cancer effect of the vaccine on cervical cancer. At the same time, adult women should still have regular cervical cancer screening after HPV vaccination, and the "two-pronged approach" of HPV vaccine + screening is the best cervical cancer prevention and control strategy.
Qi Haimei, chief physician of the Department of Geriatrics and National Geriatrics of Beijing Hospital, shared the theme.
Qi Haimei, chief physician of the Department of Geriatrics and the National Geriatrics Center of Beijing Hospital, said that for the elderly, vaccination can also prevent infection, slow the progression of chronic diseases in the elderly, and reduce the risk of adverse outcomes due to complications of chronic diseases. Many guidelines for the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases recommend or recommend vaccinations such as herpes zoster, influenza, and pneumonia to prevent common infectious diseases and enhance disease prevention and control.
Li Huimin, director and deputy chief physician of the Women's Health Department of Gansu Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital, shared the theme.
"With the development of vaccine technology and the continuous innovation of vaccine portfolios, the protective efficacy, safety and accessibility of vaccination have been significantly improved. Vaccination is the most economical and effective means of preventing and controlling infectious diseases. Li Huimin, director of the women's health department and deputy chief physician of the Gansu Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital, said that under the guidance of doctors, they should choose a vaccine suitable for themselves after comprehensively considering their own physical condition, as well as the applicable age of the vaccine, immunization procedures, contraindications, technical routes, etc.
