Slow vaccination chaos, healthy adults 50-64 years suspend public spendingFlu shot, Popular complaints, Minister of Health and WelfareChen shizhongToday I confessed that the vaccination rate for this ethnic group was low in the past. I didn’t expect them to rush to vaccinate and squeeze other vaccination targets. But now that it happened, I had to make timely adjustments to maximize the benefits of the limited vaccines. I highlighted five times in the press conference “The policy of vaccines is not to fight against all people.”
The outside world thinks I’m afraid of it at firstNew coronary pneumoniaPeople in Taiwan have turned their fear into a panic mask purchase. Experts warned as early as March that the new autumn and winter pneumonia and influenza corona will be reported together. The flu vaccine pandemic has been expected for a long time. Taipei Mayor Ke Wenzhe also approved this year’s publicly funded flu vaccine estimation error today.
In this regard, Chen Shizhong said that the speed and demand for publicly funded influenza vaccination are critical to the mobility of each ethnic group. In the past, the vaccination rate for people aged 50 to 64 was not as high as this year. “It was really unexpected for this situation to happen.” As for why this year is not divided into stages, Chen Shizhong only said that the full vaccination is to shorten the operation of all publicly funded targets to ensure that the defense effect appears immediately.
Chen Shizhong said that the suspension of publicly funded influenza vaccination for healthy adults aged 50 to 64 years is because the vaccination rate in various ethnic groups is somewhat high and somewhat low. I hope that the vaccination rate of other high-risk groups can catch up, and I hope that each ethnic group is closer to the target value. Vaccine policy is not to let everyone fight, but to achieve the effect of herd immunity. If you are between the ages of 50 and 64 and want to play, you can choose to pay on your own.
According to the CDC, the target vaccination rate for people 65 and older is 52.5% and the current vaccination rate is 35.6%; the target vaccination rate for medical personnel is 75% and the current vaccination rate is 54.7%; the target vaccination rate for preschool children is 55. At present it has only shot up to 24.3%, whereas the target vaccination rate for the 50-64 age group is 18.7% , which has reached 14.7% before the delay. If the vaccination continues, it may exceed expectations.
Chen Shizhong said that the relative mortality and transmission power of influenza viruses are not that high. The first line of defense against influenza is personal health behavior, vaccination is the second line of defense, and the third line is relying on the medical system; the Department of Disease Control Director Zhou Zhihaoqiao fell, this year’s flu antiviral drugs are very abundant, with 2.3 million drugs in reserve.
The budget for the procurement of influenza vaccines for 2010 was finalized in March of this year. It is estimated that there will only be more than 6 million doses of flu vaccines financed with public funds next year. If the new corona pneumonia epidemic is indefinitely indefinite, next year’s vaccines must be purchased early. Deputy Director Zhuang Renxiang said that this year he will be vaccinated for a backward review period. If the evaluation is necessary, it should be given to the Executive Yuan and the Ministry of Health and Welfare to agree in order to increase the number of purchases.
