Abroad, a vaccine is a matter of fact, “the first” China’s propaganda and public opinion
The Ministry of Health September 21 briefing, as of now, China’s mainland had reported 13,262 cases of A flow of confirmed cases, 8805 cases have been cured, there is no result of a flow-induced deaths. On the same day, the WHO Director-General Margaret Chan said in Hong Kong is about to enter the northern hemisphere winter peak period of influenza, seasonal influenza will increase, a second wave of influenza A H1N1 influenza outbreak would come along.
China on September 7 issued its first batch of the vaccine can be implemented immunization products. On vaccine safety and the demand for people across the country causing widespread concern. Coincides with the National Day Golden Week, the population will lead to a large-scale movement of flow-proliferation? A stream can be prevented? Articles interviewed the bird flu virus, a well-known research scholar, Department of Microbiology, University of Hong Kong, Professor Guan Yi.
A flow of an autumn will become more serious?
Guan Yi: It should be more serious. This is mainly due to contact with the virus, likely a result of bigger. Cold weather, and everyone is to stay indoors, air, and will not be smooth, then if there is virus, its concentration in the air easier to achieve the level of pathogenicity, prone to causing the spread of influenza.
2 Golden Week, the mobility of the population will be greatly strengthened, and how the prevention and control of a stream?
Guan Yi: Population of the large-scale movements will certainly lead to large-scale spread of the virus may cause a stream of further outbreaks. Wearing masks, mainly patients with active wear and wash their hands, and this will certainly be helpful to prevent a stream, but the role but there is no stop. Best vaccination. Our country is now set an initial vulnerable groups, medical personnel, public security and other key groups vaccinated.
3 medication can be prevented?
Guan Yi: Note that health is crucial. Duffy, Cabernet Franc and other anti-virus particles should have a certain degree of effectiveness of antiviral drugs, but not all buy to eat, one not so much the amount of the second is also no need to eat every day. The most important of all, try to avoid going to crowded public places to go.
4 reported that “China’s first developed a flow of a vaccine”, is it?
Guan Yi: accurate terms, is applied, rather than research and development. This is obtained from the U.S. CDC strains (such as Influenza A H1N1 influenza vaccine NYMC X-179A) was conducted after the dilution, training, and then through a series of procedures before they can obtain the vaccine product. So-called “87 days”, which refers to the adoption of strains to obtain approval from the time, the state again during the vetting process all the way “green light”, only this speed.
In fact, vaccines have been abroad, and this “first” is the Chinese media publicity.
5 33 years ago, swine flu hit the United States, there have been dozens of cases of deaths in those vaccinated, the domestic production of the vaccine safe?
Guan Yi: the first produced by this group, of course, safety啦, the Minister of Health are vaccinated. Introduced so fast, it is a National Day stabilize public confidence. On that occasion in 1976, the United States, deaths, over 300 million people injected with the influenza vaccine, more than 30 people also died, the ratio is relatively small, and does not determine the death and the vaccine has no direct relationship.
Of course, vaccination, stressed the voluntary principle, can not guarantee the consequences of vaccination, but the (bad) Probability is usually relatively small. The emphasis now is that domestic production of a current vaccine technology, can ensure that high-volume requirements also have a trial period under the kind of quality?
6 vaccine production standards are like?
Guan Yi: China has a pharmaceutical manufacturing products such as verification of the standards set. Suggested holding a Chinese standards and overseas standards, mutatis mutandis, to do better monitoring of vaccine production.
7 “A flow” many cases, but China does not appear deaths, “the disease does not exist on the yellow people were a big threat,” this argument through?
Guan Yi: First of all, this data is how statistics and definition of death due to a flow is how to determine it? Need to the relevant departments before drawing a conclusion. “The person who, without a great threat to the yellow race” was certainly not scientific, if that “SARS threat on the big yellow”, “A stream of white’s threats,” not to become a racial weapons.
8 how to see “A stream of young people susceptible to infection” theory?
Guan Yi: In my opinion, every one has a current incidence of age should not matter too much regularity. There may be arguments: the older the human body are related to antibodies, it may be young, strong immune system, resulting in a strong immune response. These are now, or inference.
9 What do you think the school how do deal with influenza?
Guan Yi: severe closed. Students in a school the equivalent of close contact, and thus prone to spread the virus situation.
10 If a person is both seasonal influenza vaccine injection, but also injected a sense of vaccine, interference will exist do?
Guan Yi: It should not exist. We still have to understand clearly after the injection.
