[15:32] When asked about the "vaccine passport" arrangement, Chen Zhaoshi said that customs clearance arrangements with the mainland are handled by a joint prevention and joint control mechanism. The epidemic in Hong Kong must first be controlled. Although it has been eased at present, it must be strictly "internally prevented from proliferation." Ensure that epidemic control is not slack.
She said that vaccination is an additional situation. If a certain percentage of residents in the whole society receive vaccination, it will also be considered for customs clearance.
She continued that if citizens have used "Smart Convenience" for injections, they will have an electronic vaccination certificate, which can be regarded as an electronic injection card, and the authorities will also issue paper injection cards.
She said that the Hong Kong government "has already done something about electronic pin cards," and it still needs to understand the arrangements in other places.
[15:22] Nie Dequan said that Fubitai will resume vaccination next Monday. It will be reserved for citizens who were previously affected and failed to receive the second injection, especially for those who have received the second injection from "Enough Clock". Time, for the relevant person to get an injection.
Currently, 7% of the population who has received the first dose is 7% of the population over 16 years old. In the past week, only one vaccine was provided and the number of people vaccinated decreased.
Chen Zhaoshi added that Fubitai will resume vaccination and it is estimated that the number of vaccination will rise.
She pointed out that some people want to get the shot as soon as possible, and some people still hold a wait-and-see attitude. There are now more than 5 million people eligible for the shot, and the scope of vaccination will be expanded in due course.
She also pointed out that some resumption of business premises must be tested regularly. If all employees of the premises have been vaccinated with two injections, they will no longer need regular testing, which can provide citizens with incentives for injections.
[15:09] The Director of Health, Chen Hanyi, stated that the authorities received a written notice today that BioNTech has completed the investigation of the root cause of the accident. Under the ultra-low temperature environment, the plug of the medicine bottle was affected. If the metal ring fails to lock the bottle cap, there will be air. When entering and thawing before use, the temperature difference will cause the air pressure to be different, which may cause leakage.
The incident involved the crimping process. If the crimping is not solid enough, the rubber stopper in the bottle has a chance to inhale.
After investigation, other batches have not been affected, and there is no evidence that the safety and quality of the affected batches for Hong Kong have been affected.
Although there is a problem with the packaging of the vaccine bottle, the vaccine is stored in an ultra-low temperature environment and is not affected.
As for the vaccine efficacy of the affected batches, it will not be affected by the incident.
Chen pointed out that the pharmaceutical factory is still reviewing the final report, and the two batches of vaccines supplied earlier are still to be sealed.
The new batch of 300,000 doses of Fubitai vaccine was packaged by Baxter, a US pharmaceutical company, in another plant in Germany. It has passed repeated leakage tests and no leakage problems have occurred.
The Secretary for Food and Health, Chen Zhaoshi, emphasized that the two currently approved COVID-19 vaccines are safe.
The authorities will also follow up with Fosun regarding the incident in accordance with the purchase contract.
On April 1, the government announced that it would resume vaccination with Fubitai on April 5.

[15:03] Nie Dequan, Director of the Civil Service Bureau, Chen Zhaoshi, Director of the Food and Health Bureau, and Chen Hanyi, Director of the Department of Health, met with reporters on the COVID-19 vaccination plan.
Nie Dequan pointed out that the interim report submitted by the supplier confirms that the vaccine has no quality and safety issues. A new batch of tens of thousands of doses of Fubitai will arrive in Hong Kong tomorrow. The government plans to resume inoculation of Fubitai vaccine next Monday (5th).
In the past 12 days, more than 183,000 people have made appointments to vaccinate the affected citizens. A period of time will be reserved for the affected people to make up the vaccination. From tomorrow, there will be a short message to notify the time and location of the injection.
Fubitai vaccine will resume vaccination next Monday, and 21 community vaccination centers will be able to give injections.
In order to increase citizens' confidence in getting injections, vaccination materials will be uploaded to a special website to deepen citizens' understanding of vaccines.
At present, about 7% of citizens over the age of 16 have received injections, which are still far from the authorities' target. The public is urged to respond.
