On December 10, at a press conference held by the National Health Commission, Xia Gang, director of the Department of Health and Immunization of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention, said that the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention has made special arrangements for promoting influenza and other vaccinations, and this year has the following characteristics.
One is early. The relevant departments have taken joint action to optimize procedures to buy time to ensure that vaccines** are in place before the epidemic season. Since July, vaccinators in various places have started influenza vaccination services, which is earlier than the influenza season.
The second is the first foot. Enhance the capacity of influenza vaccination**. This year's influenza vaccine production has increased significantly compared with last year, which can meet the vaccination needs of the masses at this stage.
The third is to focus on implementation. Multiple arrangements 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 estimating 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 have vaccines to 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 by making appointments, carrying out time-sharing vaccination, extending the vaccination cycle, and increasing service hours. I would also like to call on everyone to be active, proactive, and get vaccinated as soon as possible, not only to protect themselves, but also to protect their families. (Hu Mengyao).
