在4月6日國務(wù)院聯(lián)防聯(lián)控機(jī)制新聞發(fā)布會上，有記者就奧密克戎危害性提問。北京大學(xué)第一醫(yī)院感染疾病科主任王貴強(qiáng)表示，“奧密克戎危害性遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)高于所謂的流感，尤其對于未接種疫苗或沒有全程接種疫苗的老年人?！?br>

Despite being weaker than previous COVID-19 variants, Omicron is still much deadlier than flu, especially for those who are not fully vaccinated, experts said on Wednesday.

他以香港疫情為例，稱“香港特區(qū)數(shù)據(jù)顯示目前有110多萬感染者，死亡8000多例，總的病死率是0.7%，病死率0.7%遠(yuǎn)高于流感的病死率?！?/p>

The overall COVID-19 mortality rate in Hong Kong is about 0.7 percent, significantly higher than that of the seasonal flu, Wang Guiqiang, director of the Infectious Diseases Department at the Peking University First Hospital, said at a press conference of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council on Wednesday.

王貴強(qiáng)指出，香港疫情數(shù)據(jù)給我們一個非常重要的提示，疫苗接種與否與病死率關(guān)系密切。從香港病死人群數(shù)據(jù)看，沒有接種疫苗的病死率是3.2%，接種一針的病死率0.96%，接種兩針的病死率是0.14%，接種三針的病死率0.03%。從這個數(shù)據(jù)來看，三針疫苗接種可以有效降低奧密克戎感染后的病死率。

"A great hint the data of Hong Kong gave us is that the patient's death rate is closely related to their vaccination status," emphasized Wang, saying that "the mortality rate in Hong Kong could fall from 3.2 percent to 0.96 percent if the patients receive one dose of vaccine. The death rate will further be reduced to 0.14 percent with two doses and 0.03 percent with three doses of vaccine."

王貴強(qiáng)表示，目前，我國流行的奧密克戎毒株從整體來看，無癥狀感染者和輕型病例比較高。一方面是因為奧密克戎本身毒株毒力相對有所下降，上呼吸道感染為主，下呼吸道感染比較少，肺炎發(fā)生率比較低。另一方面，是因為目前疫苗接種的本底之下，疫苗接種人群重癥比例明顯是低的。第三是主動核酸篩查，很多病人是在潛伏期發(fā)現(xiàn)的，所以無癥狀感染者比例相對是高的。此外年輕人、青壯年感染奧密克戎毒株后無癥狀感染者和輕型病例比較高。

對此王貴強(qiáng)表示，目前仍不能麻痹大意，一方面，要采取積極有效的防控策略。另一方面，一定要積極推動疫苗接種，加強(qiáng)疫苗接種力度，尤其是老年人、有基礎(chǔ)病的。老年人要積極接種疫苗，尤其是加強(qiáng)免疫，第三針的接種至關(guān)重要。

Wang urged the elderly and those with underlying health conditions to get vaccinated and especially take a booster shot to truly reduce the ferocity of Omicron.
