To Wuhan Citizens:

COVID-19 is an emerging acute infectious disease transmitted mainly by respiratory droplets and close contact. At present, the majorities of people are not immune to COVID-19, and are generally susceptible to it. Vaccination against COVID-19 is one of the most effective measures to prevent and control COVID-19. Immunity through vaccination can not only protect individuals, but also gradually establish an immune barrier.

Up to now, more than 100 million doses of COVID-19 vaccinations have been administered in China, and many countries around the world are also using the Chinese vaccinations, which are fully guaranteed in terms of effectiveness and safety. At present, the positive conversion rate of COVID-inactivated vaccination used in China is more than 90%, and the protection rate is more than 70%. The protective effect of the vaccinations is very good. The safety of COVID-19 vaccinations is sufficient to ensure that the citizens can be assured of vaccination.

The current COVID-19 outbreak continues around the world, and unvaccinated people will be at risk of infection once the global flow is open. Our city is carrying out COVID-19 vaccinations for people aged 18-59 years old. In the next step, we will gradually expand the vaccinations to people less than 18 years of age. The full COVID-19 vaccinations will protect the vast majority of the population and effectively control the spread and prevalence of COVID-19.

Hereby, we propose that all citizens take immediate action, not to be bystanders or outsiders, with a highly responsible attitude to yourselves, your families and the society, actively vaccination against COVID-19.
