Vaccination competitions are held all over the world, and the higher the coverage rate, the more attention it receives.

The new crown vaccination program in Hong Kong has started for nearly a month and a half. More than 510,000 people have received the first dose of the vaccine, accounting for nearly 8% of the target population. During this period, 15 people died and about 10 people suffered from facial paralysis.

Hong Fanyi, a clinical professor in the Department of Internal Medicine of the University of Hong Kong, jumped into Tamar to help promote vaccination from universities and hospitals. He felt that the public had more worries about vaccines than before the vaccination plan, but he was not discouraged and believed that time could prove the safety of vaccines. , I believe that the current vaccination rate is good, and the vaccination rate will increase after the Fubitai vaccination is resumed. It is expected that half of the adults, at least 3 million people will receive the injection in July.

Kong Fanyi is also the government vaccine consultant and co-convener of the New Coronary Vaccine Clinical Event Evaluation Expert Committee. He is responsible for examining and approving vaccines, judging deaths and the relationship between serious cases and vaccines.

He believes that the public’s current worries about vaccines are greater than before the vaccination plan. “There are more worries because there are really accidents (deaths and serious cases).” To put it bluntly, a vaccination plan involving millions of people, the total Some people will die after the injection, but it may be related to their own cardiovascular or other long-term illnesses. The most important thing is that they do not exceed the baseline level.

Death cases happen every day. I don’t usually mention it

Government experts have repeatedly explained the side effects of the vaccine, but they have failed to relieve the public's doubts.

Kong Fanyi is not frustrated. He believes that time can prove that the vaccine is safe. He also regards this vaccination plan as an opportunity to promote the vaccine. "In fact, you don’t need to worry. (Death cases) are tight every day, just because of vaccination. It highlights that there are several people who die every day, such as 20 or 30 people due to cardiovascular, cerebrovascular disease or stroke, because they usually don’t mention it or know it.” I believe that in the future, the public will be interested in injections. Influenza and Streptococcus pneumoniae vaccines are more confident.

As of 8 o'clock last night (7th), a total of 515,961 people in Hong Kong had received the first dose of vaccine, accounting for 7.9% of the population aged 16 or over; 143,584 people had received the second dose, accounting for 2.2%.

The government's vaccine website quoted data from international organizations. The vaccination rate in Hong Kong is higher than the world average, but it still lags behind Chile, Uruguay and Brazil, which started at the same time.

Kong Fanyi analyzed that the Hong Kong vaccination plan is only more than one month old, and the stable epidemic situation has made it impossible for the public to give injections. "If you return to the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, and Israel, the epidemic is so serious that there is no choice. The only way out is Vaccination, so I want to Desperate (very eagerly) as soon as possible.” In addition, the suspension of Fubitai will affect the vaccination rate in Hong Kong. Therefore, we believe that the rate of vaccination in Hong Kong is not slow and acceptable. We are now resuming Fubitai vaccine. I believe that it will catch up to a number soon.” I hope that the number of people vaccinated in July will reach at least 3 million, accounting for half of the adult population. “When you find that half of the people (citizens) feel good, I believe that half of them will be better afterwards. accelerate".

The vaccination rate in Hong Kong is slower than that of Chile, Uruguay and Brazil, which started at the same time.

To encourage citizens to get injections, it is inseparable from "incentives."

Kong Fanyi said that when the society noticed that vaccinations are being vaccinated all over the world, switching, relaxing, loosening, and having fewer cases, but Hong Kong is lagging behind others, they will want to speed up catching up; the birth of the "vaccine passport" also requires immigrants to get an injection. I believe that Taiwan, Singapore, etc. are no exceptions; the most important thing is that when the vaccination rate is high, the epidemic prevention regulations can be lifted and Hong Kong's economy can be rescued.
