Family! In april 2026, the heavy health benefits that the country had prepared for our parents officially landed — in more than 20 provinces of the country, free vaccinations for the elderly were launched simultaneously, the flu, pneumonia, herpes, three of the most accessible types of acute vaccine for the elderly, vaccinations, vaccinations, fuel consumption, no cost, no medical insurance, no hidden consumption
The elderly, whether local or off-site, who live with their children, are inoculated near community health centres or village health centres at their homes, covering more than 180 million older persons and effectively reaching the elderly. Today you can take mom and dad to the inoculation without running for nothing
One or three free vaccines are decrypted and the health of the elderly is preserved
1. Twenty-three-priced pneumococcal sugar vaccine (universal free nationwide, centralized in april)
This is the core benefit of the policy, which is based on uniform standards in more than 20 provinces of the country, with no restrictions on domicile and full value for money。
- cost: the original price of $200-400 per needle is now free of charge, with a direct saving
- age: 65 years of age and 85 years of age (born 1941-1961) on the date of the vaccination, with strict reference to the official age of the identity card, without reference to the false age or the agricultural calendar, and without a single day's allowance
- effects: coverage of the 23 most common and highly pathogenic serotypes of pneumococcal is effective in preventing serious infections such as pneumonia, meningitis, septicaemia and mesopitis. Clinical data show that vaccination reduces the risk of severe pneumonia among the elderly by 60 per cent and the hospitalization rate by 40 per cent, with greater protection for the elderly with basic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, slow lung resistance and coronary heart disease
- frequency: only one dose is required for the entire journey, with a protection period of more than five years, and most of the elderly are given one round per lifetime and are vaccinated every year
- application: older persons who live in local areas, or who live with their children, may be inoculated, provided that there is no taboo and basic disease control is stable。
Influenza vaccine (local supplement free of charge, april available)
Influenza is a high respiratory disease among the elderly, with a higher risk for the autumn and winter festivals, and has been open for replanting since april 2026, allowing for vaccination throughout the year。
- costs: the original price is between $100 and $200 per needle, and most provinces are free of charge for those aged 60 and above who live permanently
- age: 60 years and older (born in 1966 and earlier), no upper age limit and can be beaten up to 60 months
- impact: prevention of influenza virus infection, prevention of high fever among the elderly, increase of underlying diseases and reduction of the risk of complications such as cardiovascular and pneumonia. The influenza virus is variable every year for a protection period of only 6 to 8 months and is recommended for one dose per year to effectively protect against the current epidemic strain
- application: no residence registration is restricted, and permanent residents may be vaccinated at their place of residence。
Vegetable herpes vaccine (free/exempt in parts of the country, to say good-bye to the pain of the “twirl”
The herpes, commonly known as the “snaps' waist”, is ablaze on one side of the body, which is accompanied by severe neurological pains that seriously affect the sleep and life of the elderly, with a very high incidence among persons over 60 years of age。
- cost: free/deductible policies in parts of the country (e. G., free of charge for the second dose of jilin's recombinant belt herpes vaccine, free of charge for the second dose of the taser needle and $1608 for the province), depending on the notification of the local vaccination site
- age: inoculation is possible at the age of 50 and above and in some areas until the age of 40
- frequency: 2 doses of vaccine required to reorganize the vaccine and 1 dose of vaccine required for detoxification
- impact: prevention of herpes from its root causes, avoidance of severe nervous pain and improvement of the quality of life of the elderly。
Ii. Who can call free? Three conditions are clear
Many are concerned about the fact that the elderly live in the diaspora, that they do not have the age required for vaccination, and that the policy is particularly thoughtful, with three conditions for free vaccination:
1. Age conditions: 23-priced pneumonia vaccine with strict card card 65-85 years; influenza vaccine 60 years and over; herpes 50 years and over, all on the date of birth of her identity card, not on the basis of false age, not on the basis of her agricultural calendar, not on a single day
Living conditions: unrestricted residence! (a) the local elderly person is directly beaten with an identity card/social security card; the elderly person living with his or her children may be vaccinated at his or her place of residence without having to return to his or her home and without having to produce a complex certificate, provided that he or she has lived there for a period of six months and has obtained a residence permit, a property certificate, a residence certificate or a residence certificate of any kind
3. Health conditions: there are no taboos and basic chronic diseases control is stable. For example, older persons with high blood pressure, diabetes, who take medication on time, have steady indicators and are not in acute condition, are normally vaccinated; older persons with allergies in the vaccine, acute fever, severe inoculation, are not recommended for vaccination, and former medical personnel are professionally assessed。
Iii. Full vaccination process: 3 steps done, no running
Step 1: prepare in advance and make less detour
- must carry documents: identity card (core), social security card (optional); extra residence permit, property certificate or rental contract for elderly persons outside the country
- pre-arrangement: 1 on line: attention to the local “health xx” public number of the cdc, click on the “vaccination appointment”, to select the vaccination point and time; 2 under line: direct call to the community health services centre/sangkat health house for an appointment or queue for registration
- preparation for health: do not stay up all night until the first day of the inoculation, do not drink, inform the doctor of the underlying illness of the elderly, the history of medication, the history of allergies。
Step two: inoculation in the field. It's a really simple process
1. Pre-test registration: upon arrival at the vaccination point, go to the pre-screening desk, and the doctor asks for medical information, documents and confirmation that the conditions for vaccination are met
2. Vaccination: when confirmed, the doctor injects a triangular muscle on the outside of his upper arm for a full period of 1-2 minutes, with a low degree of pain
3. 30 minutes: this is the most critical step. A very small number of people have acute allergies, dizziness, more than 30 minutes, during which they are ill-equipped to call a doctor。
Step 3: post-vaccination care, avoiding discomfort
- upon completion of the observation, keep the vaccination area clean and dry on the same day, without water for 24 hours, without scratching, twitching or wearing loose air clothes
- a diet that is light, free from spicy and stimulating food, drinking, drinking warm water, resting, and avoiding intense physical activity
- local redness, pain, hypothermia (<38. 5°c) and inactivity can occur, usually disappearing for 1-3 days without treatment. In the event of continued high fever (38. 5°c), respiratory difficulties and spread of rashes, immediate medical attention is provided and the inoculation doctor is informed。
Iv. Take a look at the pit! These mistakes are different
Wrong zone 1: “the effect of free vaccines is poor, rather than self-financing”
Truth: free vaccines are qualified vaccines that the state has approved for listing and are fully consistent with the content and effectiveness of the self-funded vaccines, but only at a financial cost and with security and effectiveness
Misdirection 2: “basic diseases cannot be beaten and are prone to problems”
Truth: most of the underlying diseases are controlled and stable. Like hypertension, diabetes, so long as blood pressure and blood sugar are stable and not in acute onset can be vaccinated; instead, the risk of not being vaccinated is much higher than the risk of vaccination
Misdirection 3: “pneumonia/influenza is not available for vaccination”
Truth: vaccines prevent infection and reduce the risk of serious illness, not 100 per cent are not sick. Even when inoculated, older persons experience lighter symptoms and lower hospitalization rates, which significantly reduce medical costs and suffering
Wrong zone 4: “can't fight without april”
Truth: this policy lasts until december 31, 2026, when the flu vaccine will be refilled in april, with a number of vaccinations available throughout the year, with no need to rush, and with easier vaccinations。
V. Guidelines for action: now's time to do the three things
1. Checking information: check the date of birth of parents ' identity cards and confirm whether they meet the age requirements for the vaccine
2. An appointment for vaccination: an appointment to open the local cds public number, or a direct call to the community vaccination point, after april
To inform families that the family is informed of the free policy, the vaccination process and the need to take them to the vaccinations themselves “for fear of money or trouble”。
It's not about how much it costs to get mom and dad a free vaccine, it's about adding a “safe lock” to their health. Pneumonia, flu, herpes, every one of them can get old people to suffer and their families to worry
Send it to the relatives and friends of the elderly. Help your parents keep their health safe
