Recently, Shanghai has launched the registration and appointment of the Covid-19 vaccine for people aged 15 to 17. Parents (guardians) can register and make an appointment online through the App of "Health Cloud". After successful appointment, children can go to the appointed vaccination station for vaccination accompanied by their parents (guardians). The community health service centers in the Sub-districts in Hongkou have also arranged special sessions for minors.
In Jiaxing Road Sub-district Community Health Service Center, it is learned that in order to create a good vaccination environment for adults and minors, respectively, the Center has opened a channel for minors at the side door. The staffs have not only pasted ground stickers, but also have placed guide signs. Students who have made appointments within the jurisdiction will enter the center in batches under the centralized leadership to vaccinate. Meanwhile, they will take a special elevator to the fourth floor. Other citizens will go to other floors to get vaccinated.
Huang Liu, Director of Jiaxing Road Sub-district Community Health Service Center, said: "we have opened another five or six rooms as observation areas. We will put enough stools in each room. Basically, each room can accommodate 10 children and 10 parents. Because the students stayed scattered for observation, we have pasted precautions after vaccination on the windows of each room for them."
In addition, the Center has posted the Covid-19 vaccine registration and appointment method for minors in a prominent position, and it has moved a health cloud terminal to the fourth floor to facilitate students and parents to print vaccination bar codes. Besides, a psychologist has been arranged for the special session for minors. Zhu Yan, a psychologist from Jiaxing Road Sub-district Community Health Service Center, said that considering that minors were immature and did not know about vaccines, there might be psychogenic reactions, so the Center has specially arranged a psychologist for counseling.
It is learnt that in recent days, some citizens have gone to the community health service centers in the sub-districts of Hongkou to consult vaccination for their children. At present, they will gradually open the reservation channel according to the number of COVID-19 vaccine reserves to vaccinate the eligible minors aged 15 to 17 within their jurisdiction.
