根据浙江省防控办有关通知要求，湖州市已启动在湖外籍人士新冠疫苗预约接种工作。
　　一、接种人群
　　即日起，18岁及以上在湖外籍人士(外籍华人除外)可以根据“自愿申请、知情同意”原则，向有关部门提出新冠疫苗预约接种申请。
　　二、预约途径
　　符合接种条件的外籍人士，可通过以下方式预约接种：有固定单位的外籍人士由单位汇总后,统一向所在地定点医院预约;无固定单位的外籍人士可直接与所在地定点医院预约接种。
　　三、接种费用
　　已参加湖州市社会保障医疗保险的外籍人士,现场出示医保参保凭证后，即可免费接种。未参加湖州市社会保障医疗保险的外籍人士如有接种意愿，需个人自费接种。目前费用为100元/针剂。
　　四、携带证件
　　外籍人士预约报名时需提供有效证件信息，接种现场凭有效中华人民共和国永久居留身份证或护照及有效停居留证件接种疫苗，确保每次接种时相关证件都处于有效期内。
　　五、签署材料
　　接种前,外籍人士需同步签署知情同意书和免责承诺书,并做好个人防护，主动报告身体状况,由专业人员判定是否符合接种条件。
　　六、注意事项
　　接种完成后需在接种点留观区观察30分钟，无不适症状后才可离开；接种当日保持注射部位干燥并注意个人卫生，如果出现持续发烧或其他症状等现象，应及时就医并向接种单位报告。
　　七、接种凭证
　　接种完成后，外籍人士可向接种点工作人员索取接种记录凭证。
　　八、接种后个人防控措施
　　接种疫苗后虽然可以产生免疫力，可以大大降低感染风险，但任何疫苗保护作用不可能100%，部分人接种后有可能不产生足够抗体，仍然会有感染风险，特别是在还没有建立免疫屏障的情况下。因此即使打完疫苗，也请外籍人士保持戴口罩、勤洗手、保持社交距离等良好习惯。

COVID-19 Vaccination is Available for Foreign Nationals in Huzhou

　　According to the relevant notification and requirements of Zhejiang Provincial COVID-19 Prevention and Control Office, COVID-19 Vaccination is available for foreign nationals in Huzhou by making an appointment in advance.
　　1. Target population
　　From this very day, foreign nationals at the age of 18 and above in Huzhou (except for foreign Chinese) can make an appointment for COVID-19 Vaccination with relevant departments based on the principle of "voluntary application and informed consent".
　　2. The way of vaccination appointment
　　Foreign nationals in Huzhou who are eligible for taking vaccines may make the vaccination appointment through the following two ways: 1) if foreign nationals are employed, they can make the appointment through the employer, and their employer will collect all the information and book for its employees with the local designated hospitals; 2) individuals can book the vaccination appointment directly with the local designated hospitals.
　　3. Cost of vaccination
　　Foreign nationals who have been covered by Huzhou’s social medical insurance scheme may take vaccine free of charge by presenting due insurance document at the vaccination site. Those who have not should bear the cost of RMB100 per dose on their own.
　　4. Documents needed
　　Foreign nationals should provide valid documents when making appointments and present valid foreign permanent resident ID card, passports or residence permits at the vaccination site. Please make sure that relevant documents are valid on the date of taking each dose.
　　5. Papers to sign
　　Before inoculation, foreign nationals will be required to sign both a letter of informed consent and a statement of bearing personal responsibility for all risks associated with vaccination. They should also take necessary precautions and inform the on-site medical professionals of their health condition so that the medical professionals can decide if they are suitable for inoculation or not.
　　6. Matters needing attention
　　Foreign nationals should stay at the vaccination site for 30 minutes of observation after getting vaccinated, and may then leave if they have no adverse reaction. Keep the injection point dry on the day of vaccination and maintain personal hygiene. They should immediately seek medical help and alert the vaccine provider if they develop a persistent fever or other symptoms.
　　7. Vaccination certificate
　　When completing the vaccination, foreign nationals can get the COVID-19 vaccination certificate from the staff at the vaccination site.
　　8. Personal prevention and control measures after vaccination
　　Vaccination will produce immunity from COVID-19 and greatly reduce infection risks. However, no vaccine is 100% effective; some people may have insufficient antibodies after taking vaccine and they can still be vulnerable to infection, especially when an immunologic barrier is not yet created. So it is important that foreign nationals should wear masks, wash hands regularly, and keep social distance.
