CCTV News:Can children go to the hospital for vaccination now, and how should babies be protected? Yesterday (26th) afternoon, Feng Luzhao, a researcher at China CDC, answered several questions of public concern at the press conference held by the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism.

　　It’s time for children to get vaccinated. Do you want to go?

　　It is suggested that parents can pay attention to the work dynamics of the local vaccination clinic and communicate with the vaccination doctor about their children’s specific situation. It is suggested to make an appointment separately and vaccinate separately. The first dose of hepatitis B vaccine and BCG vaccine for newborns should be vaccinated in midwifery institutions in time according to the national immunization planning procedures. If the mother is HBsAg positive, the second and third doses of hepatitis B vaccine for newborns are recommended to be vaccinated in time after making an appointment with the vaccination unit. Vaccines such as rabies and tetanus used for post-exposure prevention must be vaccinated in time according to vaccination procedures.

　　If there is a community-spread epidemic in your community, you can suspend vaccination other than the four vaccines just mentioned, and pay attention to replanting as soon as possible after the epidemic in your community is over. If there is no community-spread epidemic in the community, you can choose vaccination according to the specific requirements of the local health administrative department or disease control agency and the schedule of the vaccination unit. When you go for vaccination, you should still remember to protect your parents and children, wear masks, try not to touch hospital items, pay attention to hand hygiene, avoid rubbing your eyes, nose and mouth with your hands, and clean your hands in time.

　　How should babies be protected?

　　Babies can’t wear masks, which may cause difficulty in breathing or even the risk of suffocation, so they should try to avoid going out. Babies are mainly passively protected, that is to say, children are indirectly protected by the protection of parents, family members and caregivers. During the epidemic period, in order to reduce the risk of infant infection as much as possible, a caregiver can be relatively fixed. Caregivers should try not to go out. First, they should wear masks. Second, they should not sneeze and exhale at children. Caregivers must wash their hands before touching children’s tableware, toys, daily necessities and other things, or before communicating and playing with children. Don’t share tableware with children. When feeding children, don’t blow food with your mouth, and don’t try or chew food with your mouth before feeding them.

　　Cctv newsNational Medical Products Administration website reported on January 16th that in order to thoroughly implement the relevant requirements of the Central Leading Group for Response to Epidemic Situation and the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism on epidemic prevention and control, and effectively ensure the quality and safety of public medication, since the COVID-19 epidemic, National Medical Products Administration has deployed local drug regulatory authorities to continuously strengthen the quality supervision of drugs and equipment related to epidemic prevention and control, and intensify the crackdown on illegal and criminal activities of manufacturing and selling drugs and equipment related to epidemic.

　　Among them, in view of the recent clues of illegal sales of Covid-19 infection drugs with unknown sources in the market, drug regulatory authorities in many places have adopted a combination of online monitoring and offline mopping, innovated regulatory ideas, dug deep into the source of the case and strictly investigated the illegality. Under the unified command, the local drug regulatory authorities and the local public security departments jointly enforced the law, and some criminal gangs and dens have been smashed, and a number of counterfeit Paxlovid (combined packaging of Nimatvir tablets and ritonavir tablets) and unapproved imported drugs have been seized on the spot during the net-closing operation. After inspection, some products seized did not contain effective pharmaceutical ingredients or illegally added other pharmaceutical ingredients, which was suspected of violating the provisions of Article 141 of the Criminal Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) on the crime of selling counterfeit drugs. At present, the case is being handled by the public security department according to law.

　　In order to thoroughly investigate risks, eliminate hidden dangers, and effectively protect the public’s drug demand and drug safety, National Medical Products Administration organized the national drug regulatory authorities to further strengthen the monitoring, mopping, inspection and case investigation of the manufacture and sale of counterfeit and inferior drugs for treating Covid-19 infection. If a suspected crime is found, it will be transferred to the public security and judicial organs according to law. At the same time, National Medical Products Administration is promoting the research, development and listing of therapeutic drugs in Covid-19 according to laws and regulations to serve the overall situation of epidemic prevention and control.
