    Following the vaccination of the nine key domestic groups, according to the deployment, at the end of March, Beijing comprehensively launched the new crown vaccination for foreigners in Beijing
    .

    Beijing United Family Hospital (main hospital), United Family Jianguomen Clinic, and United Family Guangqumen Clinic are also designated as designated vaccinations for foreigners in Chaoyang District
    .


    Based on previous experience in supporting the vaccination of key populations of the new crown vaccine in Chaoyang District, Beijing United Family Hospital quickly announced the appointment channels for individual vaccination of foreign populations and the contact method for group vaccination, and recruited Chinese and foreign medical personnel to form a "team" to organize and complete the on-site vaccination.


    Starting from April 1, foreign groups organized by international companies, embassies and consulates, foreign chambers of commerce and other organizations have begun to vaccinate United Family in an orderly manner
    .


    Starting from entering the vaccination waiting area, the foreign general practitioners of United Family Family will explain the vaccination knowledge and vaccination precautions to those who are interested in vaccination.


    Then transferred to the vaccination area, the medical staff again checked the recipient's information, and then vaccinated the recipient, and the relevant information was simultaneously entered and uploaded to the CDC system
    .


    All personnel who have completed the vaccination must complete the observation in the observation area for 30 minutes.


    The entire vaccination work is rigorous and smooth.
    So far, nearly a thousand foreigners have completed the first shot of the new crown vaccine at United Family.
    Many foreigners and organizations have also expressed their gratitude and praise to United Family
    .

    Common QA for foreigners vaccinated with new crown vaccine

           Vaccination against the new coronavirus is an effective way to protect people from the new coronavirus
    .


    Vaccination is an important means to help the public return to normal life


           The following information comes from the National Health Department's technical guidelines for new crown vaccination:

           1.
    Is it necessary to get the new crown vaccine?

           Yes, it is necessary
    .


    Most people in China are not exposed to the new coronavirus, so it is necessary to obtain immunity through vaccination


           2.
    What type of new crown vaccine is used in China?

           So far, five domestic brands have obtained conditional marketing licenses or emergency use licenses
    .


    Types include: inactivated vaccines (Beijing Institute of Biological Products, Wuhan Institute of Biological Products, Beijing Kexing Zhongwei), adenovirus vector vaccines (Kangsino), recombinant subunit vaccines (Zhifeilongkema)


           The type of vaccine you will be vaccinated depends on the variety supplied by the CDC in your region.
    At this stage, inactivated vaccines are mainly used
    .

           3.
    How to vaccinate?

           The new crown inactivated vaccine needs to be vaccinated in 2 doses.
    It is recommended that the interval be ≥21 days (3 weeks).
    The second dose should be completed as soon as possible within 8 weeks
    .

           The injection site is in the deltoid muscle of the upper arm
    .

           4.
    Who can be vaccinated currently?

           Up to now, people who are 18 years old and above (including people over 60 years old) in Beijing and have no contraindications can be vaccinated
    .


    However, the implementation plan for foreigners may vary from city to city.


           The safety and effectiveness of vaccination for people aged 3-18 are under study.
    Up to now, people in this age group cannot be vaccinated for the time being
    .

           5.
    Can the brand be changed for subsequent doses?

           The country’s official guidelines recommend using the same brand before and after the dose
    .


    However, due to subsequent supply reasons, the same type of vaccine products from other manufacturers can be used to complete the vaccination


           6.
    If I have received two doses of inactivated COVID-19 vaccine, can I get another type of vaccine, such as mRNA vaccine (if it will be marketed in the future)?

           So far, all data is based on two doses of the same type of vaccine.
    Such a vaccination program can provide immunity for at least 6 months
    .
    Scientists are studying whether booster doses are needed, or other types of vaccines are used for booster immunization
    .

           7.
    How soon after vaccination can protection be produced?

           According to current research, most vaccinators can achieve a good level of immunity 2 weeks after completing the second dose
    .

           It is currently not recommended to perform routine testing of antibody levels before or after vaccination
    .

           8.
    Can the new crown vaccine protect against mutant strains?

           According to global surveillance data, there is no evidence that existing vaccines are not effective against mutant strains
    .
    Scientists will continue to monitor changes in mutant strains and adjust strategies accordingly
    .

           9.
    What are the contraindications of the new crown vaccine?

    • Allergies to vaccines or any other ingredients, or a clear history of severe allergies to vaccines
    • Suffer from uncontrolled epilepsy or other neurological diseases, such as Guillain-Barre syndrome
    • Pregnant women
    • Are feverish, or are in the acute phase of a chronic disease (such as uncontrolled high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid disease), the vaccination plan will be postponed until the condition is stable
    • Before getting other vaccines (such as HPV), you need to be at least 14 days apart from the new crown vaccine
      .
      When rabies vaccine, tetanus vaccine, or immune globulin need to be vaccinated due to trauma or other reasons, the interval with the new crown vaccine may not be considered
      .

           10.
    For special populations, how to get the new crown vaccine?

    • Breastfeeding women - There is currently no corresponding data for breastfeeding women.
      However, based on past experience, the National Centers for Disease Control recommends that high-risk breastfeeding mothers (such as medical workers) vaccinate and continue to breastfeed
      .
    • Women of childbearing age - If you find that you are pregnant after receiving the new crown vaccine, according to the safety data, the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends continuing the pregnancy and getting a pregnancy test
      .
      At the same time, there is no need to postpone pregnancy plans due to the new crown vaccine
      .

    • Immunodeficiency patients (such as cancer patients or HIV-infected patients) - These are high-risk groups of severe new coronary diseases.
      The National Centers for Disease Control recommends inactivated vaccines, but the immunogenicity may be reduced
      .
    • Chronic disease patients - People with chronic diseases who are in stable health and are well controlled by drugs are not those who are contraindicated for new crown vaccination, and vaccination is recommended
      .

           If you have other questions, please consult a doctor or nurse
    .

           11.
    What else do I need to know about the vaccination process?

           Before vaccination: Make an appointment according to the notice, and be aware of various situations where vaccination is not possible
    .

           On the day of vaccination: bring your valid ID, fill out the informed consent form, and complete other procedures required by medical staff
    .

           After vaccination: Observe for 30 minutes, keep the vaccination site clean, and inform the medical staff in time if there is any discomfort
    .

           12.
    After vaccination, what adverse reactions might I have?

           Pain at the injection site is the most common local reaction, followed by itching, swelling, induration, and redness
    .
    Systemic reactions such as fever, muscle aches, headache, cough, and diarrhea may also occur
    .
    The incidence and symptoms of adverse reactions are similar to those of influenza vaccines
    .
