The new crown pneumonia vaccination plan was launched yesterday (26th). Liu Zexing, the convener of the Vaccine Advisory Expert Committee, wrote Hong Kong and Taiwan's "Hong Kong Family Letter" today (27th), saying that Kexing and Fosun/BioNtech vaccines are difficult to compare with simple numbers. , Because clinical research is conducted at different times and places, the groups of subjects may be different.

He also said that data shows that the rate of contracting new coronary pneumonia among Israeli elderly people has dropped significantly after being vaccinated.

He appealed to the public to protect the elderly. In addition to vaccinating them, he also hopes that the staff of medical care and nursing homes will actively consider vaccinations and gradually achieve herd immunity.

Liu Zexing said that the new crown pneumonia has ravaged the world for more than a year. There are more than 10,900 confirmed cases in Hong Kong and more than 190 deaths.

The epidemic not only affects those who are diagnosed, but also affects everyone and things around them.

Although citizens’ awareness of epidemic prevention has increased, they have not been able to completely control the epidemic. I hope that vaccination can help control the epidemic.

He said that more than 210 million people around the world have received the first dose of the vaccine, and more than 18 million people in the UK have been vaccinated. The overall situation is safe and effective.

Many people have asked about the fact that Kexing is better than BioNtech, but he thinks that simple numbers cannot be used for comparison, because relevant clinical research is conducted at different times and places, and the target groups such as number of people, gender, age, and occupation. There may be differences in the definition of results.

He believes that the most important thing is the safety of the vaccine and the protection rate that meets the requirements of the WHO standard. He called on the public to continue to actively participate in the vaccination plan.

Statistics show that the death rate of people 65 years of age or older who are diagnosed is relatively high, about 9%. Of the 198 deaths in Hong Kong, 170 are elderly people 65 years of age or older.

Since mid-December in Israel, more than 80% of elderly people over 60 have been vaccinated against the new crown pneumonia.

The rate of local elderly people contracting new coronary pneumonia has dropped sharply.

Those aged 60 to 79 decreased by about 40%, while those aged 80 or above decreased by about 60%.

Liu Zexing said that we must protect the elderly. In addition to vaccinating them, we must also protect the people who take care of them. Therefore, we hope that colleagues in medical care and nursing homes will actively consider vaccinations, so that multiple vaccinations can gradually reach the group. immunity.

As for the safety and efficiency after vaccination, Hong Kong also has a mechanism and professional supervision. If any deviation is found, the relevant committee will respond immediately.
