Therefore, in the absence of contraindications to vaccination, relevant experts recommend that all eligible people be vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine. In addition, vaccination is an effective means for the elderly to prevent influenza, pneumococcal disease and herpes zoster. At present, there are still many elderly people who lack understanding of vaccines and even have some misunderstandings. Some elderly people think that if they expect to stay at home for a long time or live in marginal areas, rarely go out or go abroad, and the risk of infection is small, there is no need to vaccinate. Chinese disease control experts also said that the risk of serious illness and death caused by COVID-19 infection can be reduced by more than 90% after the elderly are vaccinated with booster vaccines and immune vaccines. Therefore, vaccination should be implemented as soon as possible and spread to everyone.
In fact, vaccination is no longer a patent for children, but also a powerful weapon for adults and the elderly to resist infectious diseases.

Wang Huaqing, chief expert of China CDC, said that the harm of mysterious cloning to the elderly led to an increase in the number of hospitalizations and deaths. Bring tension to medical resources.
