February 2021 亲爱的邻居， 希望这封信对您有帮助。我们给您提供有关COVID-19疫苗的信息，并鼓励您在可以接种疫苗时进行疫苗接种。 过去的一年对我们所有人来说都是艰难的一年，但疫苗为2021年的改善提供了希望。我们都期待着与我们的朋友，家人和社区重新亲密接触。接种疫苗的人越多，越快成为现实。 我们在这里为您提供可靠的信息和帮助。我们听到的一些问题是： 我们怎么知道疫苗是安全的？ 疫苗是测试最严格的药物，是严格的开发过程和涉及数万人的临床试验的结果。在批准用于紧急用途的疫苗时，美国食品药品监督管理局确定这些疫苗的已知和潜在益处大于感染COVID-19的已知和潜在危害。 有副作用吗？ 是。一些接种疫苗的人报告说副作用，通常是轻度的，在第二剂后更为常见。这些副作用是您的身体产生免疫反应的结果。副作用可能在接种疫苗后1-2天开始，平均持续2-3天。重要的是，在临床试验中要注意的是，较少的老年人报告了副作用。 最常见的副作用是注射部位的疼痛，疲劳，头痛，肌肉或关节疼痛以及发冷或发烧。如果您有任何疑问，我们建议您与家庭医生联系，以解决有关疫苗和独特病史的特定问题。 如果人们患有哮喘，过敏或其他肺部疾病，应该怎么办？ 根据剑桥健康联盟的医生所说，有这些医疗问题的人绝对应该接种疫苗。患有哮喘，过敏或其他肺部疾病的人可能因COVID-19病重或死亡。唯一不应该接种疫苗的人是对疫苗成分有严重过敏反应的人。除有效的mRNA成分外，疫苗仅由脂肪，盐，糖，醋和某些甘油制成。 我还有其他问题……我们的组织很高兴为您提供可靠的信息，疫苗推出更新和帮助。疫苗分配计划仍在制定中，但我们将在我们的网站上提供更新（链接在下边）。随着我们的了解，Somerville-Cambridge Elder Services可能能够帮助安排和安排疫苗接种预约。 我们还敦促我们的员工接种疫苗，以防止这种致命和不可预测的病毒在我们的家庭和社区中进一步传播。请考虑这样做。 谢谢 Paul Hollings Executive Director Somerville-Cambridge Elder Services Susan Pacheco Cambridge Council on Aging Serena Chao, MD… Continue Reading 关于冠状病毒疫苗的特别提示
