China is expected to begin mass vaccination against the Covid-19 virus before the Lunar New Year in 2021.
China was the first country to suffer from the Covid-19 virus. After controlling the epidemic, the authorities prepare to launch a large-scale vaccination campaign. It is possible that 50 million Chinese will be vaccinated against the Covid-19 virus before the arrival of the Chinese New Year-Spring Festival in February 2021.
According to a Beijing report on Friday (December 18, 2020) by Stéphane LAGARDE, our station’s RFI correspondent in China, short music videos are being broadcast on Tik-Tok, and the Sichuan health authorities intend to include to young people. Yes, all people in the jurisdiction are vaccinated. The news is available on the Douyin account of the official China News. This reach-to-everyone approach is somewhat similar to a vaccination campaign, but is in fact limited to those high-risk groups that are given priority.
Progress of vaccine shipments varies slightly
According to official Chinese media, 118,000 vaccines have now arrived in Sichuan, a large southwestern province. Other related provinces include Heilongjiang in the northeast. In this area adjacent to the China-Russia border, TangYuan’s health unit revealed that the vaccine has not yet arrived and is counting the number of people who want to be vaccinated. This round of vaccination is limited to locals. Authorities are counting the number of volunteer vaccinators and the injection will begin once superiors approve it.
During this waiting period, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently received video training. Beijing is expected to distribute 100 million vaccines developed by Sinopharm and Sinovac. According to an expert quoted by the South China Morning Post in Hong Kong, 50 million Chinese will be vaccinated against the Covid-19 virus before the Spring Festival of the Chinese New Year.
