10月30日舉行的國務(wù)院聯(lián)防聯(lián)控機(jī)制新聞發(fā)布會上，國家衛(wèi)健委疾控局副局長吳良有表示，我國將力爭在年底前完成3至11歲人群新冠疫苗接種。

吳良有介紹：

China has approved three domestic COVID-19 vaccines for emergency use in children aged 3 to 11. Two inactivated vaccines developed by Sinopharm and one inactivated vaccine created by Sinovac Biotech have been cleared for emergency use in people aged 3 to 11.

目前國藥中生北京所、武漢所，科興中維的新冠滅活疫苗已經(jīng)獲準(zhǔn)在3至11歲人群中開展緊急使用。

吳良有表示，根據(jù)科研攻關(guān)組疫苗研發(fā)專班專家論證意見，新冠病毒滅活疫苗在3—11歲人群中的安全性和免疫原性，與18歲以上人群沒有顯著性差異(inactivated COVID-19 vaccines are as safe and effective among people aged 3 to 11 as they are in people aged over 18)。國務(wù)院聯(lián)防聯(lián)控機(jī)制根據(jù)相關(guān)工作進(jìn)展，綜合考慮我國疫苗生產(chǎn)能力、接種能力、臨床試驗(yàn)情況和防控工作實(shí)際，進(jìn)一步擴(kuò)大了接種范圍（authorities have taken manufacturing and inoculation capacity, clinical trial results and epidemic situation into consideration, and decided to further expand its immunization campaign），將疫苗接種目標(biāo)人群由12歲以上調(diào)整至3歲以上。

吳良有說，我們將繼續(xù)按照知情、同意、自愿的原則（abide by the principles of voluntary participation and informed consent），積極引導(dǎo)3至11歲無禁忌人群應(yīng)接盡接，力爭12月底前完成全程接種(aim to vaccinate all eligible children by this year's end)。同時(shí)，要求接種點(diǎn)有兒科急診急救人員，還有兒童急救藥品保障。截至10月29日，已經(jīng)接種353萬劑次( 3.53 million doses had been delivered to the age group)。

談及兒童接種新冠病毒疫苗的必要性，中國疾控中心免疫規(guī)劃首席專家王華慶在會上指出，過去認(rèn)為，兒童新冠肺炎發(fā)病率較低，但隨著疫情的傳播和流行，現(xiàn)在兒童的發(fā)病水平和去年年底成人發(fā)病水平已經(jīng)接近或增加(incidence rates of COVID-19 in young people in some countries are rising and even nearing the rates among adults, challenging the previous perception that children are at lower risk of contracting the virus)，因此給兒童接種疫苗有其必要性。

王華慶提醒，3歲-11歲兒童可能還要接種其他疫苗，務(wù)必讓新冠病毒疫苗與其他疫苗接種間隔14天以上(since many minors also need to receive other vaccines in the national vaccination program,  different vaccines should be given at least 14 days apart)。如果必須接種狂犬病疫苗、破傷風(fēng)疫苗等，可以不考慮時(shí)間間隔的要求。
