On December 10, the National Health Commission held a press conference to introduce the prevention and treatment of respiratory diseases in winter and answer questions.
At the meeting, Xia Gang, director of the Department of Health and Immunization of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention, introduced that influenza vaccination is an effective means to prevent the onset of influenza and reduce influenza-related severe disease and death. In the early stage, the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention has made special arrangements for promoting influenza and other vaccinations, and this year's vaccination work has the following characteristics:
One is early. The joint action of the relevant departments to optimize the procedures has bought time for the pre-epidemic season to ensure the vaccine**. Since July, influenza vaccination services have been launched by vaccinators in various places, earlier than the influenza season.
Second, the vaccine is sufficient. The ability to guarantee influenza vaccines has been improved. This year's influenza vaccine production has increased significantly compared with last year, which can meet the needs of the masses for vaccination at this stage.
The third is to focus on implementation. Multiple dispatches and deployments have been made to guide all localities to actively promote influenza vaccination in accordance with the principle of informed consent.
Subsequently, we will continue to guide all localities to do a good job in the assessment of the demand for influenza and other vaccinations, optimize the reasonable distribution of vaccines, achieve accurate planning and use, and actively work with relevant departments to strengthen the connection between vaccine supply and demand, so as to ensure that the influenza vaccine is continuously chained and the masses can be vaccinated. At the same time, we will further enrich the forms of publicity, increase publicity efforts, and guide all localities to provide timely, convenient and high-quality influenza vaccination services for everyone by making appointments, carrying out time-sharing vaccination, extending the vaccination cycle, and increasing service hours. Here I would like to once again appeal to everyone to be proactive, proactive and get vaccinated as soon as possible, which is not only to protect yourself, but also to protect your family members.
