Dear friends and family of the elderly:
Hello! If you or someone in your family who is over 60 has not been vaccinated against the new coronavirus vaccine for various reasons, please read this proposal patiently and carefully.
The current situation of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic in the country is serious and complicated. We find that there are more and more Xiaoyang people around us, and the risk of each of us becoming infected with the virus is also increasing.The elderly are a group at high risk of serious illness and death after infection with the new coronavirus, and they are the group we need to focus on protecting.
There are tens of millions of epidemic prevention items, and vaccination is the first.Research at home and abroad has shown that vaccination against the novel coronavirus can greatly reduce the risk of serious illness and death after infection. The case fatality rate of those who have not been vaccinated against the new coronavirus is much higher than that of those who have been vaccinated against the new coronavirus, and the older they are, the greater the risk of serious illness and death.Therefore, for the elderly, especially those over 80, it is “necessary and important” to be vaccinated against the new coronavirus!
It is recommended that there are no contraindications and that suitable elderly friends are vaccinated against the new corona vaccine as soon as possible.Maybe you don’t go out often, but you still have a huge risk of infection; perhaps you are concerned about the safety of vaccination due to your age and chronic diseases, but research and practice have shown thatAs long as the health status of the elderly is stable and the medications are well controlled, they can be vaccinated against the new corona vaccine.Surveillance data also show that the reported incidence of adverse reactions to the new corona vaccine for the elderly is lower than for other age groups. There is no upper age limit for getting the COVID-19 vaccine. The epidemic situation in many places in my country shows that when the peak of the new corona virus infection reaches, there will be a relative shortage of medical resources, and it is easy for serious patients to find it difficult to seek medical treatment, and the risk of death will increase .Therefore, only vaccination to minimize the risk of serious illness and death is the best protection for your health and that of your family.
Elderly friends who have not completed vaccination should be vaccinated as soon as possible and follow the procedures to complete the whole process and increase immunization as soon as possible.be aware is,The time interval between the first booster dose and the full vaccination for people older than 60 years was adjusted to more than 3 months.If 3 months have passed since you received the second dose, increase your vaccination as soon as possible so that the protective effect of the vaccine can be better exerted.
It is urgent to get vaccinated against the new corona virus!The virus spreads quickly. With the arrival of the New Year and the Spring Festival, the situation is even more serious. Don’t hesitate, old friends, seize the opportunity, hurry up to get the vaccine before the Spring Festival, especially before the New Year, and protect your health.
We recommend elderly friends, especially those over 80:Believe in science, dispel doubts, complete the full course of the new corona virus vaccine and strengthen immunization as soon as possible, and be the first person responsible for your health.
Finally, I sincerely wish all elderly friends good health and happy life!
