Chen Zhaoshi: Uncontrolled or severe chronic diseases should not be vaccinated by Kexing

She reminded that uncontrolled or severe chronic patients are not suitable for vaccinations. She understands that it may be difficult for the public to detect whether the condition is repetitive and recommends that they ask their family doctors.

If the public does not have a family doctor, they can go to the general outpatient clinic. It is believed that doctors can check medical records and answer questions through the "Healthcare" system.

She also said that the vaccination center will distribute leaflets for vaccinators, and there will also be on-site medical staff to answer public questions.

As for whether to assess the physical condition of the vaccinators on the spot, she said that since the center doctors cannot view the vaccinators' medical records, the safest way is to consult a family doctor, emphasizing that if the vaccinators have immediate health problems, the center's medical team will deal with them.

The government will arrange for outreach medical care to be vaccinated in hospitals.

Chen Zhaoshi said that the date to start the injection is uncertain, and he will carefully understand the physical condition of the elderly and assess their health.

For elderly people who may not know the medical history and vaccine information, she hopes that her family will explain clearly.
