Vaccination against influenza is the most economical and effective way to prevent influenza. The reporter learned from the Chengdu Municipal Health and Health Commission that influenza vaccines have arrived in various districts (cities) and counties in Chengdu, and citizens and friends can arrange vaccination according to their own conditions. At the same time, in order to meet the vaccination needs of the public, some vaccination clinics will also provide services such as weekends, delays or special sessions according to actual conditions.
It is understood that the existing influenza vaccines in Chengdu include trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine, freeze-dried live attenuated influenza vaccine (nasal spray) and tetravalent inactivated influenza vaccine. The recommended vaccination population includes clinical rescue personnel, public health personnel, health quarantine personnel, etc. Older people aged 60 and over; Suffering from one or more chronic diseases; Vulnerable people and employees in old-age care institutions, long-term care institutions, welfare homes and other crowd gathering places; Pregnant women can be vaccinated against influenza at any stage of pregnancy; Children aged 6-59 months; Family members and caregivers of infants under 6 months old; People in key places such as kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, and supervision places. Children and parents of students are specially reminded to take precautions before their summer vacation is over.
The reporter learned that antibodies will be produced in 2-4 weeks after influenza vaccination. Generally speaking, it is the best choice to vaccinate in January-February before the influenza season (autumn and winter season). Different from many lifelong immunization vaccines, the antibody obtained after influenza vaccination can last for at least 6 months, and the antibody level decreases with the passage of time. In addition, the epidemic strain of influenza virus will change every year, so it is recommended to vaccinate every year.
"Although it is recommended to vaccinate every year, it is not strictly one year, but refers to the’ cross-natural flu season’." According to the relevant person in charge of the Chengdu Municipal Health and Health Commission, the "cross-natural-year influenza epidemic season" generally refers to September of that year to April of the following year. Therefore, during this time period, influenza vaccine can be vaccinated, and it is not necessary to strictly complete one year.
