The Hong Kong government has launched the new crown vaccination program for more than two months, and the disciplined forces are the priority group for vaccination.
It is understood that a newly revised "Executive Instruction" circulated within the Fire Services Department (13th) today, broadening the previous clauses covering "cholera" and stipulating that it is intended to prevent "infection of infectious diseases that may cause interruption of public services". All personnel must carry out "appropriate vaccination" in accordance with the instructions and requirements, which arouses the suspicion of the frontline firefighters of "forced injections."
The Fire Services Department replied to enquiries saying that there is no plan to exercise relevant instructions to compel members to receive any vaccines.
According to the news, the Fire Services Department today (13th) issued a newly revised General Order (General Order). Clause 12 of the General Order extended the previous provisions against cholera and other vaccinations to cover "all infectious disease vaccines." , Stipulating that all personnel, unless they have been vaccinated with similar vaccines or have medical reasons, must follow the instructions and requirements to carry out "appropriate vaccinations" to prevent infections with infectious diseases that "may cause the interruption of public services."
In the new revision, two clauses are reserved for addition, which are currently displayed as blank.
It is understood that the standing order is a legal order, that is, personnel must comply with it. Some people have reported to this newspaper that there is no frontline consultation about new amendments. The content and definition of the amendments are broad, causing extensive internal discussions. Many people estimate that they are laying a foundation. , In order to "pave the way" to request designated vaccinations in the future, some people are worried that they will be forced to be vaccinated against new coronary pneumonia.
No similar amendments in other disciplined services
Some frontline people who have been vaccinated against the new crown believe that in response to work needs, they can assess the risk and voluntarily vaccinate, and there is no mandatory requirement.
It is understood that other disciplined forces, including the police force, have not been revised.
Prescription: Unplanned mandatory vaccination
The Fire Services Department responded to enquiries and stated that at present there is no plan to exercise relevant instructions to compulsory members to receive any vaccines.
Looking through the information, on February 23, 6 heads of disciplined forces led a total of 114 disciplined forces personnel to the Central Library Vaccination Center to vaccinate the first batch of Kexing vaccines that arrived in Hong Kong.
Director of the Fire Services Department Liang Weixiong said at the time that anti-epidemic work is very important. Disciplinary forces must take the lead. The Fire Department is the front line of the fight against the epidemic. Emergency departments have the risk of infection. Vaccination can reduce the risk. He hopes that adequate protective measures can be taken.
