CCTV News: In the past few days, the cold wave has hit many places, and the National Health Commission said that the number of visits to respiratory diseases across the country has been relatively stable in recent times, but with the cold wave and the temperature dropping, the number of visits to respiratory diseases such as influenza and new crown still fluctuates. The National Health Commission and the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention require that vaccination services be continuously optimized and vaccination will continue to be done. Guide all localities to adopt convenient services such as time-sharing vaccination, extending vaccination cycles, and increasing service hours, and promote influenza, new crown and other vaccinations.
Tianjin continues to organize vaccination units to increase the frequency of outpatient vaccination on Saturdays and Sundays to ensure vaccination sites and personnel. At present, 216 regular outpatient clinics in the city have opened weekend outpatient days, accounting for about 76% of the total number of routine outpatient clinics. At the same time, we will strengthen the level of intelligent services and comprehensively promote the use of online vaccination appointments to facilitate the use of services.
Zhao Yongan, Director of the Nanyingmen Street Community Health Service Center in Heping District, Tianjin: According to the number of online appointments and the needs of the people who consult on site, the center has fully extended the outpatient hours of the center. For those who cannot come in time for vaccination or whose working hours cannot be scheduled, we have also extended the service on weekends.
Dezhou City, Shandong Province, conducts real-time monitoring of influenza and other vaccine stocks, and purchases are made in a timely manner when deficiencies are found. The disease control department publishes information such as the address, contact number, and service hours of the vaccination clinic in the jurisdiction to facilitate the masses to get vaccinated nearby.
Yang Yang, Chief of the Immunization and Prevention Section of the Decheng District Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Dezhou City, Shandong Province: There are about 5,000 influenza stocks in the whole district, and the inventory has been replenished in a timely manner recently, and another 3,000 have been purchased, which can ensure the vaccination needs of residents in the jurisdiction.
Zhang Jinlan, a resident of Decheng District, Dezhou City, Shandong Province: In the past, I didn't have time to bring my children to get injections when I went to work, because I was busy at work, and now there is a delay at noon, so it is very convenient for us to bring my children to get injections.
Recently, the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention has continued to guide all localities to assess the demand for influenza and other vaccines, and work with relevant departments to strengthen the connection between supply and demand to ensure that the supply chain of influenza and other vaccines is continuous, and the masses can be vaccinated. At the vaccination site in Yuanma Township, Yuanmou County, Yunnan Province, the number of vaccinations has increased every day recently.

He Jinxiu, a resident of Yuanma Town, Yuanmou County, Yunnan Province: They are all vaccinated according to the notice of the village doctor, and children can rest assured that adults can improve their immunity.
Medical staff reminds everyone that before vaccination, the recipient or guardian should truthfully and fully inform the doctor of the past history and physical health status to ensure that the body is in a healthy state and there are no relevant contraindications to vaccination. After receiving the influenza vaccine, if you have severe symptoms, you should report to the vaccination unit in time, and go to the hospital for treatment if necessary.
Yang Wanqun, Director of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention of Yuanmou County, Yunnan Province: Everyone is the first person responsible for their own health, so we call on the general public to ventilate frequently, exercise more, wear masks in public places, and seek medical attention in time if they have symptoms of cough and fever. At the same time, actively get vaccinated.
Focus on key institutions and groups to prevent clustering risks
Schools, childcare institutions, nursing homes, etc. are key institutions for the prevention of respiratory diseases, and the elderly and children are susceptible to respiratory diseases. The National Health Commission requires all localities to implement ventilation and disinfection measures in key places such as primary and secondary schools, childcare institutions, nursing homes, and social welfare homes, as well as crowded places, to strengthen health science popularization and health monitoring, and reduce the risk of infection.
Jiangxi, Yunnan, Shaanxi and other places continue to promote disease prevention knowledge to teachers and students and enhance their awareness of prevention by carrying out popular science on respiratory diseases on campus and theme courses.
Kindergartens, primary and secondary schools in all regions have strengthened morning and afternoon inspections, registration of absenteeism and absenteeism, and when students are found to have symptoms such as fever and cough, they will wear masks for students in time and contact their parents. The education and civil affairs departments of Shandong, Henan and other places have strengthened the disinfection of key places such as schools and elderly care institutions, and strictly managed the entry and exit of outsiders to reduce the risk of infection among the elderly and children.
Tang Zhihong, member of the Party Leadership Group of the Education and Sports Bureau of Decheng District, Dezhou City, Shandong Province: At the same time, we will take the initiative to consult with the health and disease control departments to strengthen information exchange, coordinate risk research and judgment, prediction and early warning, and guide schools to respond scientifically and accurately. We will further urge schools to identify risk points and loopholes in prevention and control work, and ensure that all prevention and control measures are implemented in detail to protect the health and safety of teachers and students to the greatest extent.
Tianjin requires all schools to establish a high-quality homework design mechanism, and carry out differentiated teaching design according to the physical condition of students.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs has made relevant arrangements for the prevention and control of respiratory diseases in elderly care institutions, requiring all localities to keep the green channels for medical treatment in elderly care institutions unblocked, and staff to wear masks during service, carry out daily health monitoring, and do not go to work with illness. Observe the health status of visitors and couriers. A number of hospitals and elderly care institutions in Xiamen City, Fujian Province have strengthened cooperation, and medical staff have carried out professional training on the prevention and treatment of respiratory diseases for elderly care workers and medical staff, and have done a good job in the zoning management of medical services and elderly care services to prevent cross-infection.
How to protect the elderly Experts give four suggestions
In the season of high incidence of respiratory diseases, how should the elderly protect themselves and avoid infection as much as possible? Experts from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention have given four suggestions for protection.
The elderly should improve their physical fitness, exercise appropriately, improve cardiopulmonary function, and at the same time eat a balanced diet, maintain adequate sleep, and improve their own immunity.
Develop good Xi, such as washing hands frequently, wearing masks scientifically, and maintaining social distancing, to reduce the chance of infection.
Eat more high-quality foods with high protein content and vitamin content, which can not only replenish the energy needed by the body, but also improve the body's immunity and resist the invasion of pathogens.
It is recommended to get the flu vaccine, the new coronavirus vaccine, the pneumococcal vaccine, etc.
The relevant person in charge of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention reminded the public that in addition to receiving influenza vaccines this winter and next spring, pneumococcal vaccines and new coronavirus vaccines are also recommended for the elderly and people with chronic underlying diseases. For children, it is recommended that non-immunization program vaccines such as pneumococcal vaccine and Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccine can be given in addition to continuing to do a good job in immunization program vaccination.
If you have already developed flu-like symptoms, it is still recommended to continue receiving the flu vaccine after you have not been diagnosed and have recovered on your own.
