On April 18, the 307th press conference on the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in Beijing was held. A reporter from Beijing Youth Daily learned from the scene that Pang Xinghuo, deputy director of the Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention and a member of the national new coronavirus pneumonia expert group, introduced the city’s new crown virus vaccination situation. Pang Xinghuo said that recently, the willingness of citizens to be vaccinated has increased significantly. In the past two weeks, the city has received a total of 559,000 doses of the new crown virus vaccine, of which nearly 333,000 people have received booster immunizations, and 92,000 people aged 60 and over have been vaccinated, especially 33,000 people over the age of 80 were vaccinated. A total of more than 130 people over the age of 100 have been vaccinated in this city, and the oldest is 110 years old. At present, there are still some elderly people, especially the elderly, who have not been vaccinated against the new coronavirus, and some citizens who have completed the full course of immunization (the second shot) for more than 6 months have not received the booster shot.
