The new crown pneumonia epidemic has lasted for a year, and the Kexing vaccine developed in the Mainland has not provided sufficient data for approval by the government vaccine advisory expert committee.
The Secretary for Food and Health, Chen Zhaoshi, said in an interview with Hong Kong and Taiwan that the government has not given up on the procurement of Kexing vaccines and revealed that it is discussing procurement matters with the fourth vaccine supplier, but indicated that it will not be a vaccine developed by Sinopharm.
As for the medical staff who went on strike last year and asked the government to close the customs, Chen Zhaoshi pointed out that the government closed the border and decided not to make concessions to the strike. He described the government's policy as "slow talk for everyone to know."
The Secretary for Food and Health, Chen Zhaoshi, pointed out that the government will not give up the procurement of Kexing vaccine.

The government does not give up the procurement of Kexing vaccine
The domestically developed Kexing vaccine is currently unable to provide sufficient data. The Vaccine Committee currently recommends focusing on two vaccines, which are approved for use by the vaccines supplied by "Fosun/BioNTech" and AstraZeneca.
In an interview with Hong Kong and Taiwan, Director of the Food and Health Bureau Chen Zhaoshi said that the research data of different countries are different, and will wait for Kexing to provide the final report before making a decision, saying that the government will not give up the procurement of Kexing vaccine.
She pointed out that the latest estimate of BioNTech vaccines will not be delivered to Hong Kong until the end of February, and will discuss with suppliers whether they can be delivered earlier.
She revealed that she is discussing procurement matters with the fourth vaccine supplier and requires the other party to submit data.
However, since a confidentiality agreement has been signed, it has not been possible to disclose which supplier it is, but it is indicated that it will not be a vaccine developed by another mainland supplier, Sinopharm.
Chen Zhao began to visit the middle finger, and the government subsequently announced the closure of the four gates including Luohu, denying it to make concessions to strike medical care.

Policy "Slow talk, let everyone know"
At the beginning of the outbreak last year, medical staff went on strike to demand that the government shut down customs.
Chen Zhaoshi said in his interview that the government subsequently announced the closure of four gates including Luohu, denying it as concession to the strike medical care.
She said that some people criticized the government for its slow work, but policy decisions did not happen at the push of a button. Often they were prepared but failed to be announced. She described it as "slow talk for everyone to know," and emphasized that it was not because of the large number of strikers that made concessions.
Regarding that the government did not require people arriving in Hong Kong via the high-speed rail to declare their health conditions, Chen Zhaoshi denied that the relevant measures were not implemented for fear of offending the central government.
She pointed out that the government had banned people from Wuhan from entering the country very early, describing that the measures were severe enough; and the Department of Health had insufficient knowledge of the virus at the time. After assessment, it was considered that taking the body temperature when entering the country was enough to stop the entry of confirmed cases.
However, it was unexpected at that time that asymptomatic people would also carry the virus and eventually fall.

Refers to the citizens' slack in fighting the epidemic: everyone is so obedient
She pointed out that the government is of course responsible for the failure to clear cases, but that "the citizens are so obedient to all the difficulties", saying that without the cooperation of the citizens, it will be difficult to implement epidemic prevention measures.
She said that the implementation of the same series of measures in the fourth wave was less effective than in the third wave, and she believed that the public was slackened under the fatigue of fighting the epidemic.
Chen Zhaoshi reviewed the anti-epidemic work for a year, describing that each wave of epidemic experience has led the government to improve its prevention strategy, but admitted that some measures have been more carefully considered, including the arrangement of the Lunar New Year flower market, and the prohibition of dine-in lunch.
She pointed out that the establishment may have different opinions and opinions, and her work may not meet their expectations, but she will continue to listen and improve.
She also said that in the future, she will do her best to lead the Food and Health Bureau and the Department of Health.
