The vaccination plan was launched earlier, and ten priority vaccinations can be vaccinated as soon as mid-March.
However, a 63-year-old man in Hong Kong died two days after being vaccinated with Kexing vaccine. This has aroused public concern about the safety of vaccination.
A staff member of a priority vaccination institution revealed that there are no incidents affecting the confidence of the elderly and family members, and no enquiries have been received.
Li Boying, chairman of the Association of Elderly and Disability Services of the International Alliance of Small and Medium Enterprises, said that there are indeed a few people who "stop and study."
He also revealed that all residential institutions in Hong Kong must respond to their vaccination wishes by March 22 at the latest. The SWD will issue guidelines to institutions next week.
Li Boying said frankly that as soon as the relevant incident occurred, "If you tell the truth, you can't say good things, even if ordinary people have hesitation (hesitation), there are a small number of elderly people and disabled residents who "stop for a while and think about it."
However, he believes that the government has clarified that vaccines are not directly related to the cause of death. In addition, the vaccine has been approved by experts, and society should not be too sensitive. "We should not overturn all previous work based on individual cases."

The Social Welfare Department will send a letter to the homes about the vaccination plan and provide 4000 yuan to subsidize the purchase of vaccines stored in refrigerators.
He revealed that the Social Welfare Department sent a letter to all residential homes in Hong Kong on Tuesday, and the homes will reply by March 22 at the latest, asking residents to be vaccinated. Willingly, the vaccination plan will be expanded to 10 priority hospitals by the end of March at the earliest.
Li pointed out that the document mentioned that the Social Welfare Department will issue a one-time special allowance of 4,000 yuan to the institutions to fund the purchase of refrigerators to store vaccines.
Li said that the industry has received the vaccine leaflet earlier, clearly containing relevant information, and the SWD will issue guidelines next week.
Chen Zhiyu, chairman of the Elderly Services Association, said that he had not heard of prioritized vaccination in residential care homes and decided to withdraw from the plan.

Chairman of the Hong Kong Elderly Services Association, Chen Zhiyu, pointed out that the incident has attracted everyone’s attention, but I believe it will have little impact on the whole.
He said that the operation of community vaccination centers is different from that of residential homes, emphasizing that residents must be assessed by medical staff before they can be vaccinated. He has not heard of prioritized vaccination homes and decided to withdraw from the plan accordingly.
