On November 27, reporters learned from the Shaanxi Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention: The new coronavirus vaccine containing the antigen component of the XBB variant strain - Chengdu Wesker recombinant trivalent new coronavirus (XBB+BA.5+Delta variant strain) trimer protein The vaccine has been distributed to all parts of the province, and people who meet the conditions are recommended to get vaccinated as soon as possible. The new coronavirus vaccination for key groups will still be implemented in accordance with previous regulations, and a free vaccination policy for residents will be implemented.
At the end of July this year, the comprehensive team of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council issued the "New Coronavirus Vaccination Work Plan for Key Populations in the Near Future". According to the "Plan", during the epidemic period of the XBB variant strain of the new coronavirus, focusing on the autumn and winter of this year, vaccination containing the antigen components of the XBB variant strain is recommended as a priority.
The "Plan" shows that currently, the XBB variant strain of the new coronavirus has become the main prevalent strain of the local epidemic in my country. Studies have shown that XBB mutant strains have strong immune evasion ability. The serum antibodies of the Chinese population have poor neutralizing ability against XBB mutant strains and are prone to breakthrough infections. Key groups such as the elderly and those with serious underlying diseases will be more harmed after being infected with the XBB variant of the new coronavirus.
The target population for this vaccination should meet the following two conditions at the same time: first, the elderly aged 60 and above or those aged 18 to 59 with serious underlying diseases, people with low immune function, and people with high risk of infection; second, the vaccination has been completed People who have basic immunity or have been infected with the new coronavirus.
In terms of time interval, for target groups who have completed basic immunity or have been infected with the new coronavirus, it will be 3 to 6 months after the last vaccination or 6 months after the last infection (if both situations occur, whichever time is the most recent) Accurate), one dose of vaccine containing the antigen component of the XBB variant strain can be administered. People who have not completed basic immunization and are not infected with the new coronavirus should complete basic immunization first.
At present, the new coronavirus vaccine containing the antigenic components of the XBB variant strain has been shipped to all parts of the province. People who need to be vaccinated can follow the Shaanxi Disease Control and Prevention official account to check surrounding vaccination units, or consult the district and county disease prevention and control centers to learn about local vaccination arrangements. .
