Where can I apply COVID-19 booster needle in Wuhan? 48 designated units in 15 districts of the city can be vaccinated

Wuhan was the first place in China to experience the outbreak of the epidemic, and at the same time, it is also a heroic city that has played a great role in the fight against the epidemic. At the moment when the COVID-19 vaccination work continues, people are very concerned about the vaccination situation in Wuhan. So where is the COVID-19 vaccine in Wuhan? Let's take a look at this issue together.

On March 12, 2021, in order to further build a crowd immune barrier among the people to block the spread of COVID-19 in the crowd, the Municipal Health Commission decided to set up 15 designated vaccination clinics in our city, and gradually provide scheduled vaccination services for eligible citizens in the area. Previously, the emergency vaccination of COVID-19 vaccine was launched in Wuhan on December 24, 2020. In 48 designated vaccination clinics in 15 districts of the city, emergency vaccination of COVID-19 vaccine has been started for some key groups.

The two COVID-19 inactivated vaccines produced by China Biotech currently, one produced by Wuhan Institute of Biological Products and the other by Beijing Institute of Biological Products, have entered phase III clinical trials. The experiment is currently being conducted in countries and regions such as the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Peru, Morocco, and Argentina. A total of 50000 people have been enrolled and vaccinated, with sample populations covering 115 countries and regions. The vaccination is administered to people of different ethnicities and countries. At present, the progress and effectiveness are better than expected, and all aspects of progress are leading globally.

According to the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council and the work deployment of the provincial COVID-19 prevention and control headquarters, Wuhan has orderly promoted the vaccination of novel coronavirus vaccine ("COVID-19 vaccine" for short) for key populations. Search and follow the [COVID-19 Local Treasure] on the mobile phone, send the [COVID-19 Vaccine] dialog box to directly enter the Xinguan Vaccine Appointment Portal, check the list and phone number of COVID-19 Vaccine Vaccination Outpatients in all cities and districts of Hubei/Wuhan, and check the precautions before, during, and after COVID-19 Vaccination, appointment/vaccination conditions, whether it is free, vaccination procedures/guidelines, vaccination validity, side effects, and impact on other vaccines/nucleic acids and other guidelines.

Wei Sheng, a professor of the School of Public Health of Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, believes that vaccination of COVID-19 vaccine is a way to quickly form group immunity, further build a group immune barrier among people, block the spread of COVID-19 among people, and will effectively reduce the pressure of epidemic prevention and control this year.

Why is China's COVID-19 vaccine coming into the market so fast? Wei Sheng explained that the inactivated vaccine technology adopted in China is very mature. After scientific researchers have worked hard day and night to tackle key problems in scientific research, the regulatory authorities attach great importance to it. Multi department joint work, research and development and review linkage have accelerated the speed of data collection, review and review on the premise of ensuring that the requirements for listing are met. Therefore, COVID-19 vaccine is coming into the market faster than expected.
