The Kexing vaccine arrived in Hong Kong last week, and citizens who belong to the priority group can make an appointment for vaccination from tomorrow (23rd).

The Director of Food and Health, Chen Zhaoshi, was asked four times on the issue of herd immunity after vaccination on the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Millennium". He did not respond positively. He only emphasized that "the more people fight, the sooner the better." It is believed that the citizens have "knowledge" of which vaccine to receive.

Yesterday, the number of confirmed cases in Japan and Hong Kong rose to 20. Chen Zhaoshi said that "we are very worried," but pointed out that the current data does not reflect the situation after the relaxation of social distancing measures on the seventh day (18th).

Chen Zhaoshi pointed out that herd immunity takes time. The more people fight, the "will slowly move in the direction." However, there is no response. The government predicts when there will be sufficient herd immunity.

Chen Zhaoshi: The government’s responsibility is to purchase enough vaccines



. The effective rate of Kexing vaccines is only 50% to 60%. When Chen Zhaoshi was interviewed by Hong Kong and Taiwan this morning, he was asked four times about herd immunity, including how many people the government estimated. Or when there will be sufficient herd immunity, whether all citizens will be vaccinated with Kexing vaccine, will not be able to have herd immunity, will the effect of vaccination be reduced, etc. Chen Jian has repeatedly reiterated that the more people fight, the higher the chance of achieving a group epidemic. , And whether or not to get vaccinated is voluntary. "I believe the public knows only about (vaccine)." She pointed out that the government's responsibility is to purchase enough vaccines, approve the safe use of vaccines, and provide arrangements for vaccination. There was no positive response. The problem of Kexing vaccine efficacy and herd immunity.

Professor Gao Benen of the School of Public Health of the University of Hong Kong pointed out earlier that if the public chooses to take the Kexing vaccine first, they may not be able to choose another vaccine with higher effectiveness later. It is recommended that the public should not rush to get the vaccine.

Chen Zhaoshi pointed out that the opinions of different experts are open and transparent, and experts also have different suggestions on vaccination for different groups. He pointed out that the time for vaccine manufacturing around the world is compressed and data is constantly coming out, but under the shortage of vaccines, if the vaccine can reach Hong Kong Hope you all take advantage of this opportunity.

On February 19, 2021, the first batch of 1 million doses of Kexing vaccine arrived in Hong Kong and shipped to Kwai Chung for storage.

The government will work with the University of Hong Kong team to track the effectiveness of



vaccination. As for how to know whether antibodies have been successfully produced after vaccination, Chen Zhaoshi pointed out that blood will be drawn if you want to be sure, but the government will cooperate with the research team of the University of The pharmaceutical factory will also report.

She pointed out that pregnant women "have no data to support vaccination at this stage," and those over 85 years of age who are weak must also be checked by a doctor before vaccination.

The government set up a safeguard fund for vaccination and was asked how to determine whether the side effects are related to the vaccine and whether the two-year application deadline is sufficient. Chen Zhaoshi pointed out that after receiving the incident, a doctor must first prove that he has symptoms. The expert committee will also evaluate whether it is related to the vaccine. Related, and temporarily paying attention to situations around the world, I think the two-year application deadline is also appropriate, and in some places it is even shorter. I reiterate that there is not much data at present, and we will pay attention to whether the time limit is appropriate.

Starting from February 18, the reopening of premises, restaurants and restaurants to four persons per table and the reopening of the evening market will require the "Travel with Peace" app or registration contact method.

What we saw at the restaurant in Mong Kok on February 20 showed that many citizens have become accustomed to the measures, and the number of people entering the restaurant using the two methods is equal.

The recent confirmed data fail to reflect the situation after the relaxation of measures



on the seventh day of the seventh day. The government has relaxed social distancing measures on the seventh day of the seventh day, allowing four people to eat in the evening, and several designated premises can be reopened. The number of confirmed cases has rebounded recently. In the case, Chen Zhaoshi said that he was worried about the increase in the case and hoped to find all the transmission chains so that the number could fall. However, he believed that the current data did not reflect the relaxation of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month and needed to continue monitoring.
