Vaccination of COVID-19 vaccine for people over 60 years old in Wuhan has been fully launched recently, and vaccination units in various districts have taken many measures to ensure the safe, convenient and orderly vaccination of the elderly.
On the afternoon of 25th, 62-year-old Ms. Wang came to Yongqing Street Community Health Service Center in Jiang ‘an District and was confirmed by medical staff to meet the inoculation conditions. From filling in the informed consent form to ending the observation, the whole vaccination process takes less than one hour.

“
I asked my daughter to make an appointment for me as soon as I heard the notice. Must be happy, the country is very concerned about us!
"
According to the staff, the elderly over 60 years old usually have many basic chronic diseases and relatively lack of knowledge about vaccination in COVID-19, so they will be patiently explained and guided.

“
We have also increased first-aid facilities and some related drugs for the elderly, and increased manpower to provide services for the elderly in need.

It is understood that in order to facilitate the public to vaccinate, the city has launched services such as accurate appointment and peak vaccination to minimize crowd gathering. At the same time, community health service centers have also extended the outpatient service hours, and some inoculation points can also be inoculated at night, Saturday and Sunday. Some jurisdictions have also set up temporary centralized inoculation points and used mobile vaccination vehicles according to the actual situation to promote the smooth development of vaccination work in the city.
Disease control experts: The elderly are in stable physical condition and can be vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine.
According to experts from Wuhan CDC, statistics show that once people over the age of 60 are infected with Covid-19, the cases of critical illness or death are higher than other people, so vaccination is more necessary. However, because many elderly people still suffer from chronic diseases and take many kinds of drugs every day, they must judge and master their physical condition before vaccination.
Zhu Zhenggang, an expert from the Institute of Infectious Diseases Prevention and Control of Wuhan Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that before vaccination, you must inform the doctors at the vaccination site in detail about your physical condition, past disease history and medication history, so that the doctors at the vaccination site can give targeted suggestions and take targeted measures.
Experts said that the inactivated vaccine in COVID-19 itself is very safe, and the vaccine will not induce the aggravation of basic diseases even for people with basic diseases. However, if the basic diseases make the physical condition of the elderly unstable, vaccination should be suspended.
