At the Guangzhou epidemic prevention and control press conference on the evening of June 1, Zhang Zhoubin, deputy director of the Guangzhou Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, gave a detailed response to the recent public eager attention to postpone the new crown vaccination personal appointments and the suspension of social vaccination issues.

The suspension of vaccination is to avoid fighting on the two fronts

Zhang Zhoubin said that the previous day’s press conference mentioned the suspension of personal appointments for COVID-19 vaccination and the suspension of social vaccinations, mainly from the overall planning of manpower, avoiding the risk of transmission caused by crowds, and the time when antibodies take effect on the prevention and control of the epidemic.

First of all, it is the most important thing to eradicate the epidemic as soon as possible.

Second, under the current situation, reducing the gathering of people is one of the important means to stop the spread of the epidemic.

Third, it takes a certain amount of time from vaccination to the production of antibodies for the body to develop immunity against diseases.

"For the above reasons, we have suspended individual appointments and social inoculations.

No adverse effects from the second dose of vaccination over 8 weeks

Will failure to vaccinate the entire course on time affect the protective efficacy of the vaccine or adversely affect the body? Everyone is very concerned about this.

Zhang Zhoubin said that it is currently recommended that the second dose of the new coronavirus inactivated vaccine be completed in more than 3 weeks and within 8 weeks.

Priority will be given to the second dose after the resumption of vaccination

Zhang Zhoubin said that to carry out the population's new coronavirus vaccination work is not only the strong will of the citizens, but also the need to establish a herd immunity barrier.

"Citizens must maintain good hygiene habits, and must not relax wearing masks, washing hands frequently, and maintaining social distancing.
