The elderly and other high-risk groups should receive the New Crown vaccine in time

Currently, Omicron mutant strain is still the mainstream strain worldwide. Although its pathogenicity and virulence are weakened, the infection is stronger, spreads faster and the transmission process is very insidious. From the data of a large number of studies at home and abroad, even after vaccination, even if infected with omicron, most of them are mainly mild or asymptomatic, which indicates that the vaccine has a good protective effect.

According to CDC experts, the current strain of omicron is expected to usher in a wave of peak infection within 2 to 3 months, and with the high incidence of influenza and common cold in winter, this is an important window for vaccination of high-risk groups such as the elderly.

It is understood that there are four types of vaccines available in Shenzhen for sequential booster and heterologous vaccination, including recombinant new coronavirus vaccine (type 5 adenovirus vector), recombinant new coronavirus vaccine (CHO cells) and other heterologous vaccines available for the public to choose from. Among them, the recombinant novel coronavirus fusion protein vaccine – Likang V-01 produced by Lizhu Monoclonal Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is the first domestic new coronavirus vaccine that has obtained omicron protection efficacy data in phase III clinical, which has fast onset of action, good persistence and small side effects after vaccination.
It is reported that at present, Rejuveno recombinant new coronavirus fusion protein (CHO cells) vaccine (recombinant protein) starts to make appointments for vaccination, Shenzhen citizens can make appointments for vaccination in the public number of “Shenzhen Health Care Commission” “new coronavirus vaccination service”.
