The latest vaccination plan of COVID-19 vaccine announced that eligible people can be vaccinated after 3 months of infection.

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, April 10 (Reporter Dong Ruifeng, Li Heng) The reporter learned from the National Health and Wellness Commission on April 10 that the Comprehensive Group of Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council recently issued the Vaccination Work Plan to Respond to the Recent Infection in Covid-19, and made corresponding arrangements for the target population, time interval and vaccine selection. The plan is clear, and the focus of vaccination at this stage is to fill the gap in immune level for different target groups and further reduce the risk of severe illness and death.

According to the plan, people who are not infected and have not completed the established immunization program will complete the follow-up vaccination according to the established immunization program and its time interval. This part of the population includes people aged 3 to 17 who are uninfected and have not completed the basic immunization, people over 18 who are uninfected and have not completed the first dose of booster immunization, and people over 18 who are uninfected and have not completed the second dose of booster immunization (high-risk people with infection, people over 60 years old, people with serious basic diseases and people with low immunity).

Among them, for people over 18 who have completed basic immunization, the interval of the first dose of booster immunization is adjusted to more than 3 months.

For people who have been infected and have not completed basic immunization, according to the plan, one dose of vaccine can be inoculated after 3 months of infection.

Experts from the Comprehensive Group of the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism said that the overall epidemic situation in the country is sporadic, but the Covid-19 has not disappeared, and the spread of the virus among people still persists. With the change of epidemic situation, whether vaccination is needed at this stage should be determined according to infection, previous vaccination history, age, physical condition and other factors.

According to reports, the protective antibodies obtained by vaccination and infection will decay with time. From a global perspective, it is a common understanding that Covid-19 should be vaccinated three months after infection, which is beneficial to provide better protection for people with high risk of severe illness and death in the subsequent epidemic.

There are many technical routes in China, and Covid-19 vaccine has been approved for use one after another. The results show that sequential immunization can provide more comprehensive protection for individuals.
