The new crown vaccine has broken the epidemic in Xi'an?

In the past two days, the epidemic situation in Xi'an has continued to ferment on the Internet, which should have been a time for everyone to work together to tide over the difficulties, but some people have created rumors, "The vaccination rate of the new crown in Xi'an is very high, but now it is closed and managed in the city, and the vaccine is ineffective at all." ”

In fact, the protective effect of the two inactivated vaccines of Sinopharm Zhongsheng and Kexing Zhongwei in the prevention of moderate new crown pneumonia can reach 70.2%, and the protective effect on severe diseases can reach 100%, and the focus of new crown vaccination is to reduce death and severe disease.

Imagine if there is no protection from the new crown vaccine, will the number of moderately ill and severe patients in xi'an's confirmed cases of new crown increase?

Vaccination is still an effective means of preventing the new crown 5 rumors do not believe

In the face of everyone's current doubts, the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council in recent stages has been explained at the press conference.

Don't be blinded by rumors and joke about your own life and health.

Myth 1: The COVID-19 vaccine does not help with covid-19

fact:

It is undeniable that over time (after 6 months), the protective effect of the two doses of the new crown vaccine is decreasing, but this is the same as the law after routine vaccination, so now the state calls on everyone to hurry up and get the booster injection.

After boosting immunization, the recipient's antibody level will grow rapidly or rebound: after 14 days of booster immunization, the antibody level is equivalent to 10-30 times the original; even after 6 months, although the antibody level has decreased, it is still higher than the peak after two or one dose of vaccination, and can be maintained at a high level.

Myth 2: Existing COVID-19 vaccines will not prevent the Delta and Omikejong variants.

With the mutation of the new crown virus, Delta and Omick have become the most important epidemic strains at present, but studies have shown that the protection rate of more than 50% can still be maintained after two injections, and the protective effect of the mutant strain after vaccination can still reach 70%.

Zhong Nanshan has said that the key is to establish herd immunity through widespread vaccination. The earlier the vaccination, the earlier the herd immunity is established, the less the mutation of the virus, which is very urgent for us in China.

Myth 3: Covid-19 vaccination increases adverse reactions in older people with underlying medical conditions.

The reported incidence of adverse reactions in the elderly aged 60 years and older is slightly lower than that in people under 60 years of age, mainly related to the relatively weak response of the elderly.

Often, vaccination does not increase severe abnormal reactions even in people with underlying medical conditions, strictly grasping contraindications.

On the contrary, after the elderly are infected with the new crown virus, especially those with underlying diseases, the risk of severe illness and death is very large.

Myth 4: Children vaccinated against COVID-19 have great adverse reactions

Judging from the results of national monitoring, the adverse reactions of the child after vaccination were generally stable and there were no abnormalities.

Among the adverse reactions that occur, they are also the same as other groups, mainly fever, and local reactions, most of which are general reactions.

Myth 5: After the COVID-19 vaccine, the incidence of myocardial infarction increased in winter.

The incidence of myocardial infarction in winter is indeed higher than in other seasons, which is mainly related to cold weather.

Because under the stimulation of cold air, the peripheral blood vessels of the human body will be in a constricted state, resulting in an increase in arterial pressure and an increase in myocardial oxygen consumption, which will increase the burden on the heart.

Cold stimulation can also cause sudden contraction and spasm of coronary arteries, which can cause acute myocardial ischemia and hypoxia, induce angina in severe cases, and even myocardial infarction.

At present, there are still about 50 million elderly people in China who have not been vaccinated against the new crown, and it is also difficult to carry out the new crown vaccination work in the 3-17-year-old population.

After reading the above article, if you have a correct understanding of the new crown vaccine, please contact the grass-roots doctors in your jurisdiction to get the new crown vaccine as soon as possible.
