Last update date: 2020-07-22 09:09The new crown pneumonia vaccine research and development teams of the University of Oxford and the Chinese Academy of Engineering respectively stated yesterday (21st) that the vaccine trial has made positive progress. Among them, the Oxford University vaccine has successfully generated an immune response in all people undergoing the trial.
Infectious and infectious disease specialist Zeng Qiyin said in an interview with the commercial channel program "Starting on a Sunny Day" this morning (22) that he believes that the new crown pneumonia will become an endemic disease. It is expected that the public may need to be vaccinated every year, like seasonal flu . As the virus is constantly changing, it may be necessary to continuously develop new vaccines in the future and change its varieties for the citizens to vaccinate.

Zeng Qiyin said that the principle of most vaccines is to stimulate the body's immune system to achieve immunity. The 20 pharmaceutical companies participating in the development of the new crown vaccine all over the world use different antigens and methods. He called on the government to consult the expert committee as soon as possible to think about which pharmaceutical company to buy the vaccine, and the action should not be too slow. He also said that the University of Hong Kong is also developing a new coronary pneumonia vaccine, and it will need to find a local or foreign pharmaceutical factory to cooperate with it after completion.

Zeng Qiyin continued that looking at the endless epidemics around the world, whether in winter or summer, it is believed that the new crown pneumonia will definitely become an endemic disease. It is expected that the public may need to be vaccinated every year, like seasonal influenza. He also mentioned that because the virus keeps mutating, it can become stronger or weaker. In the future, it may be necessary to constantly develop new vaccines and change its varieties for citizens to vaccinate.
It has been said that if the current epidemic prevention measures are effective and every Hong Kong person is self-disciplined, it is estimated that the third wave of the epidemic in Hong Kong will last for at least six to eight weeks. I believe it has a chance to affect the Legislative Council election.
