The new crown pneumonia epidemic in Hong Kong continues. Kexing Vaccine and Fosun/BioNTech Vaccine have arrived in Hong Kong last month. The government stated that appointments for vaccination will be available from the middle of this week.

The private doctors who participated in the vaccination plan have also received the Koxing vaccine one after another today (1st), and the public can be vaccinated as soon as tomorrow (2nd).

Private doctor Lin Yonghe said that after receiving the vaccine at 11 this morning, the moment he confirmed the vaccinators, he found that the quota was full, "immediately bursting."

He pointed out that Kexing vaccine is safer and has few serious side effects. However, in order to reduce the risk of side effects, the Department of Health also provides epinephrine to private doctors. Brain power."

Lam Wing Wo, a private doctor who opened a clinic in Kennedy Town, said that after the emergency approval of Kexing Vaccine in mid-February, the Department of Health has invited private clinics to inquire whether they will participate in the vaccination plan.

Until last Tuesday, the authorities even held a briefing to announce the guidelines and regulations. After receiving the Kexing vaccine at 11 am this morning, it was found that the number of vaccinators was full at the moment it was confirmed.

Doctors: Up to 20 to 30 people will be vaccinated daily. The vaccination may be completed this Friday

Lin revealed that the authorities provide 40 or 80 doses of vaccine to each private doctor. Because the neighborhood has been actively inquiring earlier, 80 doses of vaccine are ordered.

He pointed out that due to the need to take care of other patients, a maximum of 20 to 30 people can be vaccinated per day based on the 30-minute observation time after vaccination.

Therefore, he expects that the vaccination may be completed this Friday, and he may communicate with the Department of Health to increase the dose and discuss delivery arrangements.

Lin also pointed out that since the vaccination rate of private doctors depends on work arrangements, if some doctors have a high vaccination rate, it is recommended that the government provide them with more doses of vaccine, such as 200 doses per booking.

However, he said frankly, "Don't want to bury too many patients." He believes that 100 to 150 doses are the limit. Therefore, he also encourages people who are not physically impaired to get vaccinated at community vaccination centers, except for patients who need to seek medical confirmation.

30 minutes is enough to observe serious adverse reactions

What happens if the vaccinator has side effects?

Lin Yonghe explained that private clinics generally know the physical conditions of patients who are familiar with and can grasp their sensitive reactions after vaccination. Blood pressure and blood sugar are also measured before vaccination to determine if vaccination is appropriate and avoid adverse reactions.

Lin also pointed out that, generally speaking, the Coxing vaccine is safer and has few serious side effects. He will also explain the situation to the vaccinators: "Even if there is heartache, headache, or fatigue, it may be a short-term normal reaction, and nothing will happen after a day or a half. "However, he emphasized that in order to avoid serious reactions, observations will be arranged for 30 minutes after vaccination, because severe shock reactions usually appear after 15 minutes. "30 minutes will be enough to see if there are any reactions."

Lin further pointed out that although the incidence of serious reactions to Kexing vaccine is about one in 1.5 million, in order to reduce the risk, the Department of Health also provides adrenaline to private doctors.

He pointed out that severe reactions can cause disorders, coma, and even fatalities. "The reaction can be sudden and without aura. Acute sensitivity is like edema, and the blood circulation in the body seems to be suddenly depressed."

Elderly people are mainly vaccinated due to telephone appointment, location and time flexibility

However, if some vaccinators do not want to stay for 30 minutes for observation, what should be done then?

Lin Yonghe said that the vaccinators must sign an informed consent form after the doctor's explanation.

He also pointed out that the 80 vaccinators were neighbourhoods and believed that they would try their best to cooperate for their own health.

"Will there be a rigid situation? I hope it doesn't happen. If I don't cooperate, I will try my best to keep it in perspective. The clinic is always safe."

Lin also revealed that the 80 vaccinators are mainly the elderly, and the number of workers such as medical care, disciplinary forces, and cross-border drivers is relatively small. At that time, their identities will be verified with identification documents.

He believes that since familiar doctors can provide accurate advice, the location of the clinic and the vaccination schedule are flexible, and the way to make an appointment by phone is simple, so elderly people tend to go to the clinic for vaccination.

At that time, of the three benches in the clinic, one of them will be used as a rest for vaccinators.
