Beijing started influenza vaccination in batches for different groups of people on September 15th.

　　In order to effectively prevent the threat of influenza and reduce the impact of diseases on people’s health, Beijing has been implementing the policy of benefiting the people by influenza vaccination since 2007, giving free vaccination to eligible people and encouraging other people to voluntarily vaccinate at their own expense. This year’s influenza vaccination in Beijing will be officially launched on September 15, and it will be carried out in batches for different groups of people.

　　The first batch first provided vaccination services for Beijing-based elderly people aged 60 and above, and simultaneously launched vaccination publicity and mobilization for students in primary and secondary schools, secondary specialized schools and technical colleges.

　　The second batch is mainly for students in primary and secondary schools, secondary specialized schools and technical colleges, and the influenza vaccine vaccination for the whole society is started at their own expense.

　　The third batch is mainly for the first-line emergency support personnel in the city, and the first two batches of personnel are checked for leaks and replanted.

　　The actual work will be dynamically adjusted according to the specific situation. It is expected that the free vaccination work will end at the end of November and the self-funded vaccination work will continue until the end of February 2024.

　　This year, Beijing continued to carry out influenza vaccination by unified organization and advance appointment. People who are vaccinated free of charge can be organized by the relevant responsible units in a unified way, and they can make appointments for vaccination in batches and in different periods. Primary and secondary school students are organized by the school and vaccinated with the consent of their parents; Beijing-born elderly people over 60 years old in Beijing can be organized by the village/neighborhood Committee to go to the influenza vaccination clinic for vaccination at the agreed time with their valid ID cards or social security cards. People who vaccinate at their own expense need to make an appointment with the vaccination clinic in advance. They can make an appointment through the Capital Vaccine Service APP, telephone, on-site registration, WeChat WeChat official account and other appointment methods.

　　Each district will reasonably set up free and self-funded influenza vaccination points according to the vaccination needs of residents, and citizens can choose to make an appointment for vaccination nearby. After September 15th, if you need to inquire about the vaccination clinic address, you can visit the website of Beijing Municipal Health and Wellness Commission or Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

　　The elderly registered in Beijing who have not been vaccinated with 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine can get one dose of pneumococcal vaccine free of charge as long as they are over 65 years old and make an appointment registration at the vaccination clinic. Both vaccines are vaccinated to prevent both influenza and pneumococcal diseases.
