At present, the vaccination rate for people who are suitable for vaccinating the new crown vaccine has not reached 70%.

Yuan Guoyong revealed in the commercial program "Political and Economic Saturday" that most children between the ages of 3 and 12 will be vaccinated next week.

He said that the dose for children is one-third that of adults, and it is safe, and he recommends switching to the thigh instead of the shoulder. He pointed out that the chance of causing myocarditis is very low, and the patient can be discharged in a few days. , But means that inactivation usually requires 3 to 4 shots to stabilize the immune system.

It is estimated that up to 500,000 people can be infected after customs clearance at the current vaccination rate

Yuan Guoyong pointed out that there are still about one-third of Hong Kong people who have not been vaccinated, that is, about 2.5 million people are not immunized. It is estimated that the spread of new coronary pneumonia is like the flu, and 20% of people are infected in two months, that is, 500,000 people will be infected. Taking into account the 2% mortality rate of the new crown pneumonia, if there is a customs clearance at present, there may be 10,000 deaths, but if all the injections in Hong Kong have been injected, the mortality rate will be reduced. It is estimated that only 500 people will die. The number is similar to that of seasonal flu.

He said that even if vaccinated people are diagnosed, they have no symptoms and effectively protect the lungs. However, after the emergence of the delta variant virus, the protection of the upper respiratory tract is weakened. It will protect people who have been injected, and accidents will happen without injections.

Yuan Guoyong suggested that in addition to traveling with peace of mind, one should present a vaccination certificate when entering designated places in the future.

Earlier, he suggested that citizens should produce vaccination certificates when entering and leaving designated places. Because people who have not yet been vaccinated, "all are not easy to persuade to achieve their goals." Those who only listen to KOLs say, "Don’t imagine that resetting can last forever." The government has the responsibility to set a timetable. For example, from January to March next year, all Hong Kong residents will complete two injections, and July to September three injections. , So that the shock after customs clearance can be reduced, saying that the government should give the public time to prepare, "it won’t be too frustrating."

The vaccine pass is to protect people who have not been vaccinated

Yuan Guoyong said that after the opening of the Hong Kong border, the epidemic will inevitably break out. If there is no vaccine, one should not go to public places without masks, saying that "vaccine passes are not troublesome," but to protect and help people who have not been vaccinated. .

Some elderly people have a mentality of "I die" and do not get vaccinated. Yuan pointed out that they still have to be admitted to the hospital for treatment after illness, which will put pressure on the medical system and affect other medical service users. Hong Kong" should be vaccinated.

He believes that the biggest mistake of the entire vaccination plan is that when the elderly died after vaccination, the government did not announce the death figures of stroke or heart disease at the same time, causing the public to have the wrong message "feeling that the vaccine killed people." "It is not possible to say that there is no way to call back and turn heads." He believes that the Coroner's Court recently put forward the correct recommendations on the first death from the new crown vaccine, and "the closer the truth is, the safer it is."

In his interview, Yuan Guoyong also talked about the idea of ​​immigration in Hong Kong in recent years. "Is it okay to leave? I don't think it is. The most important thing is to keep to the truth and clarify the truth." He cannot tolerate any corruption, as long as Everyone is doing their part, "I think Hong Kong has hope."

He continued, "It should be because of the turmoil and various aspects of the past two years that everyone has to give up a place." He said that everyone has found their ideals and lives in Hong Kong. He also said that Hong Kong's civil society is very good. As soon as the epidemic began, about 97% of people followed suit. As long as the vaccination rate can reach more than 90%, the vitality of society will return.
