Beijing plans to launch mass vaccination drive
Beijing will launch universal inoculation of COVID-19 vaccines after the Spring Festival holiday, Huang Fang, senior official with the Beijing Center for Disease Prevention and Control and a political adviser, said at the fourth session of the 13th Beijing Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
"The efficacy and safety of three kinds of domestic vaccines all meet the standards of WHO and National Medical Products Administration," Huang said on Friday night.
She suggested the public stay vigilant for the upcoming Spring Festival holiday amid the cluster infections in the city. Gatherings and ceremonies in rural areas should be suspended or canceled, she said.
Other political advisers also shared their experiences about fighting the COVID-19 epidemic during interviews at the session, which opened on Thursday.
