When can the general population get the new crown vaccine? The Health and Wellness Commission responded

In response to the question of "when the general population can be vaccinated against the new crown vaccine", Zeng Yixin, deputy director of the National Health And Wellness Commission and head of the vaccine research and development team of the
Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism, said on the 9th that vaccination is based on a three-step strategy, according to the vaccine yield and risk, risk factors, to scientifically and rationally design vaccination strategies, according to the gradual increase in vaccine production, to promote the population vaccination.
Zeng Yixin pointed out that vaccination follows the "three-step" strategy. The first step, December 15, 2020 to start the key population vaccination, due to the special nature of the job, may be infected with the new coronavirus risk is relatively high, because the outbreak outside the country is still relatively serious, so for example, work in flights, border crossings, work in some logistics units, may be higher risk of infection, so we have to do a good job of external defense input, first of all, this part of the high risk of infection to protect the population, so on December 15, 2020 launched a high risk of infection vaccination.
The second step, high-risk groups, that is, once infected with the virus, prone to serious illness, and even easy to lead to death of people, such as the elderly, people with chronic underlying diseases and diabetes, they are infected, the risk of serious illness and death is relatively high. So the second phase began to vaccinate key groups, including this group of people.
the third step, inoculated the rest of the general population.
"Why are you doing this?" If it's fully rolled out all at once, our vaccine production can't keep up. Therefore, we are based on vaccine production and risk, risk factors, to scientifically and rationally design vaccination strategies, according to the gradual increase in vaccine production, to promote vaccination of the population. Zeng Yixin said.
