With the completion of the first injection of COVID-19 virus vaccine in Shaanxi Province at the Dichang Central Health Center in Konggang New City, Xixian New District, the COVID-19 virus vaccination work for key populations in the province has also been fully launched. It is a key group of people such as customs inspection and quarantine, port border inspection, port import cold chain goods shipment and front-line staff of medical and health institutions.

Arbitrary adjustment of immune program may affect safety, immune response effect and immune durability.
The Shanghai Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention stated that the nucleic acid test is for the COVID-19 virus antigen, and the vaccination is an inactivated vaccine. It is a “killed” pathogenic microorganism. It has completely lost its infectivity and replication ability. Will cause COVID-19, and will not test positive for COVID-19 virus nucleic acid due to vaccination.

A small number of people may still not have protection or get sick after vaccination. If necessary, those who vaccinate should still Cooperate with relevant departments for nucleic acid testing. At present, the population immune barrier has not been established. Therefore, after vaccination, personal protective measures such as wearing masks, washing hands frequently, opening windows for ventilation, and maintaining social distance are still required.
