National Experts In Overall Control Of Epidemic Risk: Strictly Eliminate Loopholes And Always Tighten The Awareness Of Epidemic Prevention And Control

        As of 24:00 on August 12, the number of locally confirmed cases increased for 19 consecutive days, involving 16 provinces and 156 high-risk areas. China is facing a complex situation of multi-source and multi-point outbreaks in a short period of time.

At the joint prevention and control mechanism conference held by the State Council on August 13, many experts pointed out that the root cause of the current loopholes in the epidemic situation is that the awareness of epidemic prevention and control is not in place. However, from the experience of various regions, the normalization prevention and control measures are scientific and effective, the epidemic risk of the whole country is controllable, and the risk of large-scale epidemic situation at the national level is relatively small.

At the above-mentioned press conference, he Qinghua, a first-class inspector of the disease control bureau of the National Health Commission, further said that the follow-up epidemic areas should continue to strictly implement various measures for normalized prevention and control, strengthen flow tracing, nucleic acid screening, centralized isolation and community control, restrict the outflow of personnel and prevent the spread of the epidemic. At the same time, the relevant provinces should strengthen the investigation of epidemic risk groups, check and control loopholes in these key places and key units, and take timely rectification measures to avoid the occurrence of new imported epidemic situation from abroad.

It is also understood that in order to further strengthen the control of infectious sources and establish mass immunization, the vaccination of new crown vaccines for minors is also being carried out in an orderly manner. So far, vaccination work for 12-17-year-old people is progressing in an orderly manner throughout the country, with 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government) and Xinjiang production and Construction Corps (XPCC) reporting more than 60 million doses of vaccination.

Wang Huaqing, chief expert of immunization program of China CDC, pointed out that with the continuous spread of the epidemic situation, especially in some countries with severe epidemic situation, the prevalence rate of children is rising, some of them are close to the level of the same period last year, and some infected children also have severe or even death“ From the perspective of infectious source control, we should also strengthen the management of children. Children are also an integral part of the process of establishing group immunity. "

Top priority of community epidemic prevention

In fact, as the first line of defense for epidemic prevention and control, community prevention and control is very important to strictly control the increase of epidemic situation“ In the past few rounds of epidemic prevention and control, various regions have continuously summed up experience and formed a set of effective prevention and control measures. In general, community prevention and control is a word, that is, we should implement the relevant measures in a small and detailed way, so as to achieve joint prevention and control, mass prevention and mass control. " Gao Guangming, deputy director of the grass-roots Department of the National Health Commission, pointed out that the specific experience of community prevention and control in various regions can be summarized as five in place, including organization and mobilization, community containment, comprehensive service, centralized isolation and standardized health monitoring.

Gao Guangming stressed that the implementation of community grid management, strengthen the publicity and education of residents, strictly implement the personnel management and control measures in the sealed and controlled areas to ensure that the personnel do not flow, cross and gather, and do a good job in the scientific environmental disinfection within the relevant control scope, so as to achieve the co prevention of people's environment; After the management of community containment, it is necessary to meet the needs of residents' livelihood security and basic medical and health services.

Under the background of clustering epidemic in many places in China, it is particularly important for the community to manage the health of returnees. Li Yongjin, director of Jingsong community health service center in Chaoyang District of Beijing, takes Beijing community health management as an example. In order to further strengthen the community prevention and control network and build a solid barrier for epidemic prevention and control in the capital, according to the work requirements of higher authorities, the relevant policies on Community health management of domestic returnees to Beijing are strictly implemented, including:

First, for those who come to Beijing from the place where the case occurred, or those who know from other channels that they may be close contacts, secondary contacts and other risk groups, after receiving the report, the community will immediately carry out home isolation advice, immediately start relevant situation verification, strictly determine the category, and carry out individual health monitoring according to the control requirements of Beijing.

The second is to check the list of key population in the high-risk areas and arrange the list by the community itself. After verification, there are no special diseases and other conditions. The 14 day centralized observation and 7-day health monitoring are implemented.

Third, after verifying the situation, the personnel returning to Beijing in medium risk areas will be subject to 14 days of home observation and 7 days of health monitoring; Those who do not have the conditions for observation shall be subject to centralized observation. During the observation period, the community was responsible for informing the relevant policies and requirements of home isolation, and was responsible for on-site nucleic acid detection.

Fourth, for the semi self-care and non self-care ability, in line with the conditions of home medical observation and close contact personnel, strictly carry out door-to-door nucleic acid testing, strict health monitoring, and strictly implement closed-loop management when symptoms appear.

Vaccinating young people to strengthen protective barriers

In the process of establishing immune barrier, minors are also an indispensable part“ As long as you are infected with the virus, you will become a source of infection. From the perspective of infectious source control, we should also strengthen management. " Wang Huaqing, chief expert of immunization program of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and prevention, said at the press conference that with the continuous spread of the epidemic, the prevalence of children is on the rise, and there are also severe and death cases.

Prior to that, many experts pointed out on different occasions that the existing vaccines still have protective effects on the mutant strains. The proportion of people who have not been vaccinated into severe or severe cases in confirmed cases is significantly higher than those who have been vaccinated.

Therefore, vaccination of new coronal vaccine for minors plays an important role in strengthening the immune barrier and blocking the epidemic of new coronal pneumonia.

At a press conference on the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council on June 11, Cui Gang, a second-class inspector of the disease control bureau of the National Health Commission, said that the relevant national departments had approved the emergency use of the new inactivated coronavirus vaccine for people aged 3-17 years. Subsequently, since mid July, all localities began to deploy a new vaccination schedule for minors aged 12-17.

Many parents vaccinate their children in the first place.

Wei Xia (pseudonym), a parent of primary school graduates in Hailaer District of Hulunbeier City, told 21st century economic news that her children belonged to the youngest age group in the youth vaccination work. After the vaccination was officially launched on August 2, the relevant leaders and teachers of the school and Education Bureau guided the guardian to accompany the children to relevant hospitals and community outpatient clinics with valid certificates for vaccination. They also set up green channels for schools, vaccinated at different times and separated from other age groups.

On the morning of that day, Wei Xia accompanied the children to Hailar District infectious disease hospital for vaccination. Many of the children on the scene have been injected, and they are under observation with their parents, and they are in good order“ After the injection, the child's body still had some reactions at first, with a little fever symptoms, which disappeared after a period of time, and there were no other adverse reactions Wei Xia told reporters of the 21st century economic report.

On August 13, he Qinghua said that at present, the vaccination work of 12-17-year-old people in China is advancing in an orderly manner, with 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government) and Xinjiang production and Construction Corps reporting more than 60 million doses of vaccination.

Wang Huaqing further introduced that according to the monitoring and analysis of adverse reactions, the incidence of general adverse reactions and abnormal adverse reactions of children and adolescents vaccinated with the new crown vaccine is no higher than that of adults over 18 years old“ The general reaction of teenagers after vaccination with new coronal vaccine is fever, local pain and swelling. The main abnormal reaction is allergic reaction. Although it is very rare, we can see that there are individual cases, mainly allergic rash, which is relatively mild

At the press conference on August 13, he Qinghua also introduced the progress of new crown vaccination for 12-17-year-old population: first, local governments have formulated work plans for specific groups of 12-17-year-old people, actively communicate with parents and find out the bottom line. The second is to arrange vaccination time and site reasonably, and when and where to vaccinate. The third is to standardize vaccination in strict accordance with the requirements of vaccination work, and ensure the safety of vaccination. Fourth, in view of the immature psychological development is not perfect, prone to psychogenic reactions, we should do a good job in science popularization and education in advance.
