上海交大赵大海接受央视专访：联合国大会应对新冠大流行特别会议将具有重要意义

上海交通大学国际与公共事务学院博士生导师、上海交通大学-耶鲁大学卫生政策联合研究中心执行主任赵大海，自新冠肺炎疫情暴发以来，对于新冠疫情暴发、防控以及卫生政策第42次接受中央电视台专访，也是第67次接受央视、上视专访。2020年12月3日，赵大海在中央电视台英语频道的《链接天下》节目，就全球新冠疫苗、联合国大会应对新冠大流行特别会议等话题进行了直播访谈。现将访谈内容翻译并摘录如下。

主持人：您对全球新冠疫苗工作有何看法？

赵大海：鉴于新冠疫苗将在比较短的时间之内可上市，新冠疫苗的两个问题需要解决。第一个问题是新冠疫苗的价格。由于新冠疫苗应当是一种全球性的公共物品，疫苗的价格就不能完全依赖于市场的需求和供给。在我看来，疫苗的价格应当由成本来决定。由于疫苗需求量巨大，疫苗的成本一定不会很高。第二个问题是新冠疫苗接种的优先顺序。根据不同人群可能感染新冠病毒的风险大小和感染之后可能症状的严重与否的原则，应将新冠疫苗接种的人群进行优先排序。重点人群理应优先接种新冠疫苗，而任何国家的重点人群都应包括老年人、罹患基础疾病者、医务人员以及可能直接接触新冠病毒风险较高的其他人群。

主持人：您认为，在今天举行的联合国大会的应对新冠大流行特别会议如何在一些国家发挥积极作用？

赵大海：鉴于新冠大流行席卷全球已快一年的时间了，各国都相对熟悉了其他国家疫情抗击的经验。这次联合国大会应对全球大流行特别会议以及该会议对于各国疫情防控经验的辩论可能会对现在新冠疫情非常严重的一些国家产生积极的影响，但我认为影响也可能是相对有限的。我们必须期待目前处于新冠疫情严重的各国政府，充分重视对本国新冠疫情的防控，采取科学的措施来防控疫情。此外，疫情相对较轻的国家不能放松警惕，疫情严重的国家不能丧失抗击新冠疫情的信心。各国都应当把防控新冠疫情作为本国当前的首要问题。

Dahai ZHAO’s Exclusive Interview with CGTN: A special session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on the pandemic will be of great significance

Dahai Zhao, a doctoral supervisor at the School of International and Public Affairs of Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Executive Director of Shanghai Jiao Tong University-Yale University Joint Research Center for Health Policy, has been interviewed by CGTN for the 42nd time (the 67nd time by CGTN / ShanghaiTV) since the COVID-19 pandemic. On December 3, 2020, Zhao commented on the global COVID-19 vaccine, the UN General Assembly Special Session on COVID-19 response on “The Link” of CGTN.

Anchor:  what is your perspective on the global the vaccine effort?

ZHAO: Due to the fact that the vaccine is going to be offered, two issues should be solved. First, the price of the vaccine. Considering the vaccine of COVID-19 is a global public good, the price of the vaccine can not completely depend on the demand of the market. In my opinion, the price of the vaccine can be set by the cost. Due to the demand of the vaccine is huge, the cost of the vaccine must not be very high. Second, the vaccination priorities. According to the general principal of the risk and outcome of being infected, key population should have the priority of vaccination. Key population in any country should include the elderly, people with basic diseases, people with higher risk due to poverty, medical personnel, people with higher risk of direct contact.

Anchor: How can this UN meeting play a positive in some countries?

ZHAO: Considering the pandemic of COVID-19 has been a global epidemic for about one year, the experiences of combating COVID-19 in different countries are not a new issue. Therefore, I think the UN meeting may have a positive impact on the countries which COVID-19 situations are very serious, however, the impact may be limited. We have to expect the governments in serious situations of COVID-19, pay full attention to combating COVID-19, and use the scientific measures to control the pandemic. Further, all countries can not relax the guard or lose the confidence in combating COVID-19, put combating COVID-19 as the first among all issues in any country.
