However, some elderly people are reluctant to get COVID-19 vaccine. On the one hand, they think they seldom go out. On the other hand, they worry that COVID-19 vaccine will do harm to their health. Perhaps many elderly people don't realize that the older they are, the more they should get COVID-19 vaccine. Academician Wen, 89, said in an interview that she had been exposed to COVID-19 vaccine for a long time. Visible, COVID-19 vaccine will not cause harm to our health, those so-called? Sequela? Everything is normal and will disappear in a few days.
Take the Shanghai epidemic as an example. More than 90% of the dead are elderly people who have not been vaccinated. Moreover, after research, it is found that this vaccine can reduce the risk of developing into severe disease by 60%, and if it is vaccinated with booster, it can reduce the risk by more than 90%. It can also be seen that COVID-19 vaccine is only beneficial to the elderly. What's more, the immunity of the elderly is very poor, and it is too easy to become the target of COVID-19 vaccine. Don't think it's safe not to go out. This statement has no scientific basis. After all, if you don't go out, you will still contact with the outside world.
More importantly, Academician Wen also suggested that the elderly can often go out for a walk, otherwise staying at home for a long time is easy to get sick. Some elderly people feel that they can't be vaccinated because of basic diseases. This kind of worry is also worrying. We only need to inform the medical staff about our situation before vaccination, and the other party will make professional judgments. In general, you can be vaccinated.
