On the morning of Jan. 16, a vaccination team was formed by community workers from Huadi, Huanghelou Street, Wuchang District, Wuhan, and medical staff from Huanghelou Street Community Health Service Center. 89-year-old Sun Youchen, accompanied by his family, waited for the community doctor to visit his home to receive the vaccination. The doctor repeatedly conducted a physical examination for him, and after all indicators were normal and the family signed an informed consent form, the first vaccination was successfully administered.

Since January 2023, the community of Huadi, Huanghelou Street, Wuchang, has been organizing a “door-knocking action” to care for vulnerable groups and key populations, participating in public welfare activities such as vaccination of new crowns, door-to-door health inquiries and issuance of “health care packages”.

In the early stage, the community visited households, asked for health at home, and issued “health care packages” to understand the basic situation of the elderly who were not vaccinated: most of them had mobility problems and had more or less basic diseases and rarely went out, and their children were worried about them. The network staff explained patiently and meticulously about the physical condition and concerns of the elderly, and introduced the necessity, safety and effectiveness of vaccination to the elderly to eliminate their concerns.

For elderly people over 60 years old who have mobility problems or are not convenient to go out, the street can provide special vaccination services for the new crown vaccine, and arrange personnel to make telephone appointments in advance for the time and place, and make pre-registration of vaccination information. On the spot, expert personnel of the tertiary hospital will analyze and judge the vaccination of the elderly according to their health condition, past medical history and diet self-care status.

It is understood that Huanghelou Street Huadi community workers and Huanghelou Street Community Health Service Center medical staff formed a vaccination team to provide the most assured, convenient and high-quality vaccination services for the elderly in the district. Door-to-door vaccination reduces the risk of elderly people going out and waiting in line, adding to the public’s sense of security and well-being. Next, Huanghelou Street Huadi community will continue the “vaccine delivery” knocking action “in progress”, constantly optimize vaccination services, actively and steadily promote the new crown vaccination work for the elderly over 60 years old in the district, to ensure that The community will continue to optimize the vaccination service, actively and steadily promote the vaccination of the new crown for the elderly over 60 years old in the district, and ensure that “all the vaccinations are received and no one is missed”, so that more elderly groups can be vaccinated efficiently and safely, and effectively ensure that the vaccination is “fast” and the special service is “warm”.
