For Hong Kong University Shenzhen Hospital Dean Lu Chongmao said this morning that the government should take the initiative to ask the Mainland Drug Administration to obtain the third phase data of Sinopharm vaccine and whether it supports the introduction of Sinopharm vaccine.
Chen Zhaoshi said that the government has always been very concerned about vaccination work and hopes that the citizens can be vaccinated as soon as possible so that the new crown pneumonia vaccine can come to Hong Kong. Therefore, the government has done its best and is also very active. "We are not just waiting at all. In fact, we Every day, contact with vaccine manufacturers from all over the world, including of course, domestic vaccine manufacturers, so that the vaccine can arrive in Hong Kong as soon as possible so that the public can get the vaccine."

We said that the action time will be as short as possible. Compulsory testing will be done in a short period of time, so that the public will be exposed. Minimize the impact.”
