Hsinchu County will simultaneously administer influenza and COVID-19 vaccines in October. Get health coins immediately after vaccination

The temperature is getting colder, and the vaccination of influenza and COVID-19 is approaching. Yin Dongcheng, the health director of the Hsinchu County Government, said that the publicly funded influenza vaccine and the COVID-19 vaccine will be launched simultaneously on October 1. Those who meet the qualifications for the publicly funded vaccination are encouraged to use the "Left Flow, Right New" method to receive these two vaccines at the same time, so as to implement "protecting the lungs and caring for the heart" at once. There are also health coins that will be launched simultaneously in October.

Yin Dongcheng said that for flu and COVID-19 vaccinations, regardless of whether the vaccination is publicly funded or self-paid, there are health coins available. There are 450 coins for fighting the flu and 900 coins for fighting COVID-19. Coin holders can redeem health gifts at cooperative supermarkets and supermarkets.

Yin Dongcheng said that influenza and COVID-19 viruses may continue to mutate every year, and the protective power of vaccines will gradually decrease over time. That is why it is recommended that the public receive seasonal vaccines every year to update their protective power in a timely manner. In particular, the elderly, young children, patients with high-risk chronic diseases and other high-risk groups should be vaccinated as early as possible to prevent severe illness.

This year, Hsinchu County, including local health centers, has a total of 78 influenza vaccine contract hospitals and 48 COVID-19 vaccine contract hospitals that can provide vaccination services. In addition to vaccination, Yin Dongcheng also recommended that people should still wear masks when entering and leaving medical care institutions, crowded places or poorly ventilated places, and continue to implement anti-epidemic strategies such as washing hands frequently, paying attention to respiratory hygiene and ventilating the home environment. If unfortunately you do get sick, rest at home. Let's work together to reduce the risk of virus transmission and severe illness.
