Hong Kong’s new crown pneumonia vaccination is in full swing. Following the launch of 1 million doses of the Mainland Kexing vaccine in Hong Kong, 580,000 doses of Fosun Pharma/BioNTech vaccine arrived in Hong Kong last Saturday (February 27). Citizens of the priority vaccination group can make an appointment online from tomorrow (March 3), and the vaccination will start next Wednesday (10th).
Kexing Vaccine and Fosun/BioNTech Vaccine also have differences in their refrigeration, effectiveness, and delivery arrangements. The following will explain in detail the community vaccination centers, and the differences between the two vaccines in the arrangements and dilution treatment.

Leave for observation for 15 minutes after injection
The waiting area on the lower level of the vaccination center has also placed 14 chairs so that citizens can walk to the 14 adjacent vaccination rooms at any time.
There are traffic lights at the top of each vaccination room as a reminder. The green light means you can enter, the yellow light means the vaccination is in progress, and the red light means there is an emergency.
In order to protect the privacy of the vaccinators, blue curtains are also installed.
After being vaccinated, citizens can leave the center after waiting 15 minutes in the rest area.
Each chair is also separated by a certain distance. If side effects occur after vaccination, they can be immediately taken by medical staff to a medical station for treatment.
However, it is worth noting that Fubitel vaccine is different from Kexing vaccine. According to the guidelines of the pharmaceutical manufacturer, the vaccinated person must be observed for 15 minutes after the injection, and only those with a history of allergies must be observed for 30 minutes.
Persistent wheezing, rapid heartbeat or sent to hospital for examination after injection
The medical room in the center is also equipped with basic medical equipment, including instruments for measuring blood pressure and blood sugar, electric shock instruments, and adrenaline for allergic reactions.
If the vaccinated person continues to have breathlessness and rapid heartbeat, he will be sent to a nearby hospital for examination depending on the situation.

1 bottle of vaccine can dilute 5 doses
Since the Fosun/BioNTech vaccine must be refrigerated in an ultra-low temperature environment and should not be stored for a long time, the steps of diluting the vaccine will be carried out at the vaccination center.
At that time, the vaccine will be transported from the warehouse at minus 70 degrees to the refrigerated refrigerator in the vaccination center. Each bottle of Fubitai vaccine can be diluted into 5 doses. The pharmacist will inject 0.45 ml of vaccine with 0.9 ml of non-preservative saline. Then, draw out 5 doses of each 0.3ml vaccine for injection.
However, the vaccine can only be stored for 2 hours at room temperature. After dilution, it can be stored for 6 hours at 30 degrees. Therefore, the pharmacist will record the time when the dilution is completed. Two refrigerated refrigerators are also placed in the center to avoid failure. Store the vaccine at low temperature in time.
200 doses of vaccine can be diluted per hour
Liao Keqi, the acting clinical service coordinator (pharmaceutical) of the Island East Hospital Cluster, revealed that each center will arrange 4 to 6 pharmacists to be responsible for the dilution of the vaccine. They will first receive training and it is estimated that 200 doses of vaccine can be diluted per hour.
As for whether you are worried that the vaccine will be stored for too long and will be discarded after it loses its effectiveness.
She responded that the vaccine will be diluted according to the number of people who make an appointment and the situation.
In addition, the Sai Wan Ho Gymnasium Community Vaccination Center is tentatively scheduled to operate daily from 8 am to 8 pm, and will be closed for cleaning for one hour at 1:30 pm. It is estimated that 2,000 people can be vaccinated daily.
