Experts from the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that the risk of crown disease in the elderly alone is increasing, and vaccines are recommended as soon as possible.
According to the surging news report, on Tuesday (December 13), the China State Council's joint prevention and control mechanism held a press conference to introduce the relevant situation of the health management of key groups.
When answering the question of whether the elderly living alone is needed, Wang Huaqing, chief expert of the China Centers for Immunization Planning, said that living alone does not mean completely isolated from society.In the early days of crown disease, due to the lack of infection, the risk of infection was relatively low for most people.But now the virus is very contagious, the transmission speed is very fast, and the spread is hidden. In some areas, it has continued to spread.In this case, for anyone, the risk of infection, including the elderly living alone, is increasing.
Wang Huaqing said that the elderly are seriously ill and risk of death. There are two reasons: First, as the age increases, immunity is declining.Second, because most elderly people have basic diseases, after infection of crown disease, they will also cause the risk of increased basic diseases.In this case, it is recommended that the elderly vaccinate the vaccine as soon as possible, including the whole process of vaccination and strengthening immune vaccination. This can provide better protection for the elderly and also give their family members with peace of mind.
