Original Title: British Media: China’s Vaccination Work Is Progressing Slowly! Expert: The Amount Of Vaccination Is 2.5 Times That Of The UK
Original title: Slow Progress in Vaccination in China? Experts Disagree
Our reporter Bai Yunyi
“China’s national vaccination work is progressing slowly,” the Financial Times said in an article on March 1. Since the national epidemic has reduced the motivation of some people for vaccination, the current vaccination rate in China is lower than that of herding. immunization institutions The level of demand is worrying because restrictions on international travel will continue until next year.
According to the “Deutsche Welle” report, as of February 9 this year, the total number of vaccines for the new corona vaccine in China was second in the world after the United States. However, due to the large population base, if the number of vaccines per 100 residents is averaged, China even lags behind Switzerland (7.1 doses) and Germany (6.1 doses) with 2.8 doses. At present, Israel is the country with the fastest and highest rate of vaccination with new corona in the world. As of February 21, the average vaccination dose per 100 people in Israel was 85 doses. The report also cited think tanks analysis that if the current vaccination rate in China is followed, 60% of Chinese will not be vaccinated until next year.
Is China Really Slow On Vaccination Work? An unidentified Chinese immunization health expert told the Global Times reporter that he could not agree with this statement. He said that as of February 9 this year, China has received 40.5 million doses of vaccines. This rate has been very fast. It only ranks second after about 60 million doses in the United States, which ranks second in the world, and India, which has a similar population Times, 2.5 times that of the United Kingdom, which ranks third. .
He said that China can maintain the current vaccination rate and that there is no need to deliberately speed it up. “Because there is no large-scale spread of the epidemic in our country, as the climate warms, the epidemic will be easier to control. At the same time, the vaccine is still in the emergency use stage. and there is room for further updating and optimization, and the protection period is not yet certain. ” He said: “So, I think the top priority for our country is to evaluate existing vaccines, accelerate the optimization and update of vaccines, select the best varieties to accelerate production and reserve, and implement centralized vaccination before the new epidemic. can occur in winter. Take full advantage of the effect of large-scale immunity and avoid wasting ‘bullets’. “
Some experts also believe that China should pay attention to avoid the formation of an “immunity gap” and try not to allow the proportion of the vaccinated population to fall too far behind Europe and the United States. Chen Xi, an associate professor of global health economics and politics at Yale University, said in an interview with the Global Times that the new corona virus continues to mutate, and the longer the epidemic lasts, the greater the possibility that the virus mute. The ability of vaccines to cope with virus mutations remains to be tested, so the vaccination rate must be accelerated. ▲
