Vaccination with the New Crown vaccine has become a national consensus, but in the face of a virus that is still mutating and declining antibody levels in the human body, the New Crown vaccine booster shot is steadily coming our way with hope. Here’s what you need to know about the booster vaccination. The significance of the New Crown vaccination booster As with the regular vaccination routine, the combined antibody level in the human body decreases 6 months after the New Crown vaccination. Therefore, if a booster can be given 6 months after the completion of the full immunization, the antibody level can be significantly increased in a short period of time. Data from current clinical studies show that even though antibodies regularly decrease 6 months after the booster vaccination, they are still higher than the peak antibodies from the 2-dose vaccination. Therefore, the significance of the booster vaccination is that it can effectively enhance the protective effect of the New Crown vaccine and strengthen the resistance to mutated strains. People who have completed the entire 2-dose vaccination without allergies and who have been given the second vaccination at least 6 months apart. According to the safety results of the phase I/II clinical trial of the Chinese biologic inactivated vaccine booster, there was no significant difference in the overall incidence of adverse reactions between two doses and three doses after the third dose in people aged 18-59 and 60 years or older, and the incidence of adverse reactions in people aged 3-17 years was not significantly different from two doses after three doses of the vaccine in small-scale trials. The incidence of adverse reactions after 3 doses of Neocrown vaccine was not significantly different from 2 doses. Precautions for vaccination with the New Guan Vaccine booster – Before vaccination, confirm that the individual has completed the full course of 2 doses according to the previous vaccination certificate and has completed the full course of vaccination for more than 6 months. – At the time of vaccination, you should bring your ID card and vaccination certificate, protect yourself well, and cooperate with the vaccination staff on site. After vaccination, stay for 30 minutes as required; keep the skin of the vaccinated area clean and avoid scratching the vaccination site with your hands. – A small number of vaccinees may have adverse reactions such as fever, headache, generalized aches and pains after vaccination. If the symptoms are mild and last for a short time, there is no need to go to the hospital; however, if the symptoms are serious and last for a long time, it is recommended that the vaccinees seek medical attention and inform the physician of the details of the vaccination. The cost of the New Guan Vaccine Booster The New Guan Vaccine Booster is still implemented according to the policy of free vaccination for residents. The current vaccination schedule for the New Guan Vaccine booster is the same as the previous vaccination schedule. The current vaccination focus is on high-risk groups (such as staff at customs, border control, aviation, isolation sites, designated medical institutions, etc.), people with relatively low immune function, and people over 60 years old. In addition, for those who need to travel to high-risk areas or countries outside of China for work, study, or exchange, it is also recommended that a booster vaccination be given 6 months after the second dose of New Crown vaccine. Vaccines available for booster vaccination at this stage According to the progress of the development of the new coronavirus vaccine and the research demonstration of the relevant departments, the vaccines available for booster vaccination are the inactivated vaccine of Sinopharm Zhongsheng Beijing, Beijing Kexing, Sinopharm Zhongsheng Wuhan and the adenovirus vector vaccine of Tianjin Kangxino. Correct selection of the booster vaccine to be administered In terms of vaccine selection, the current advice given by experts is to use the vaccine produced by the original vaccination company. For example, for people who have completed two doses of the same inactivated new coronavirus vaccine, in principle, one dose of the original inactivated vaccine should be used for a booster; for people who have completed two doses of different inactivated vaccines, in principle, priority should be given to one dose of the same vaccine as the second dose of inactivated vaccine; in case the second dose of the same vaccine is not available, the same vaccine as the first dose of inactivated vaccine can be used for a booster. If the second dose of the same vaccine is not available, one dose of the same vaccine as the first dose of inactivated vaccine may be used for booster immunization. No one is absolutely safe until the epidemic is completely over, and vaccination is the easiest and most effective measure of protection! So don’t hesitate to get vaccinated as soon as you are eligible! Contribute to the anti-epidemic process for yourself, but also for your country and for the world.
