People's Daily, Beijing, October 26 (Xinhua Gao) The reporter learned from the Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention that with the arrival of the fall and winter season, Beijing is about to enter the epidemic season of seasonal influenza. At present, the number of influenza-like cases and influenza virus positive rate have increased, but the intensity of influenza activity is still at a relatively low level.

Last week (October 17, 2016 to October 23, 2016), Beijing reported a total of 16 1849 cases of communicable diseases and 2 deaths. The top five disease cases reported were: hand, foot and mouth disease, other infectious diarrhea, tuberculosis, dysentery and viral hepatitis.

Disease control experts pointed out that flu vaccination is the most effective measure to prevent influenza. Due to the high frequency of mutations in influenza viruses. The mutated influenza virus re-infects the previously immunized host and can cause the flu to repeat itself. This is the root cause of seasonal flu and the need for flu vaccination every year.

The Flu Vaccine belongs to the second class of Vaccines in China and is voluntarily and at its own expense. According to statistics, as of October 23, Beijing has received 170,792 influenza vaccines. This year, Beijing continues to continue the vaccination policy of previous years: From October 15 to November 30, Fanfen City households over the age of 60 can enjoy free influenza vaccination on their ID cards; with the consent of their parents, School pupils and secondary school students are sponsored by their schools in a unified organization, and enjoy free influenza vaccination policy.

In order to reduce the risk of high-risk groups suffering from influenza and serious clinical outcomes after infection, using the experience of WHO and other countries for many years, combined with China's national conditions, the "Chinese seasonal Influenza Vaccine application technology guidelines (2014-2015)" recommended pregnant women, 6 Children aged 5 months of age, 60 years of age or older, people with chronic diseases, medical personnel, and family members and caregivers of babies under 6 months of age are the priority inoculations.

Experts suggest that it is not appropriate to vaccinate against eggs or allergies to any component of the Vaccine. With mild to moderate acute illness with or without fever, it is recommended that the symptoms subside and then inoculated. Inactivated trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine is safe, but transient local reactions at the Injection site are more common (blush, swelling, induration, pain, burning sensation, etc.) at the injection site; recipients who have not previously been exposed to influenza vaccine antigens (eg, Infants may develop fever, general malaise, myalgia, and other systemic adverse events (such as headache, dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc.), but the degree is mild and severe reactions rarely occur.

At present, a total of 437 vaccination clinics in Beijing provide flu vaccination services.
