[16:00] Two pregnant women suspected of miscarriage after vaccination with Fubitai vaccine.
Chen Zhaoshi explained that the instructions for the two vaccines are different.
Fubitai's instructions have written general information, and pregnancy is not a routine recommendation.
Unless pregnant women are at a very high risk of infection, or have the opportunity to develop complications after infection, women who are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant should seek medical advice before vaccination.
As for Koxing vaccine, it is not suitable for vaccination during pregnancy.
The Department of Health has contacted the Hospital Authority to collect case information for evaluation by the committee.
There is currently no evidence that it is related to injections.
The abnormal events after vaccination may not have any causal relationship with vaccination.
Nie Dequan added that the Department of Health has a notification mechanism to submit cases to the committee for review. The results will be announced in two weeks, and not every case will be published in a press release.
The Hong Kong government announced that the vaccination age has been reduced to 16 years old and all vaccination centers will operate until the end of September. Among them, Fubitai vaccine will be suspended afterwards, and the first injection will be given at the end of August at the latest.

[15:35] Chen Zhaoshi pointed out at the vaccine press conference that the Hong Kong government has purchased 15 million doses of Fubitai and Kexing, enough for Hong Kong citizens to vaccinate, and citizens can choose freely.
As of yesterday, a total of 950,000 doses of vaccines have been vaccinated for citizens, 540,000 doses are for Kexing, and 410,000 doses for Fubitai.
The authorities have reached an agreement with the pharmaceutical factory that this year's vaccination plan is sustainable.
In the next round of vaccination at the beginning of next year, the authorities have planned to introduce a new generation of vaccines, hoping to have better protection and efficacy. The protection of vaccines against variant virus strains is an important consideration, emphasizing that "No third vaccine will arrive in Hong Kong this year."
As for the AstraZeneca vaccine, the Hong Kong government announced last week that although the Hong Kong government has signed a contract with the pharmaceutical factory, it does not think it needs to be introduced this year. In addition, the vaccine is in short supply globally, so don't waste it.
In the coming days, injections will be fully promoted. The authorities will monitor adverse reactions and continue to cooperate with experts. The emergence of a serious vaccine does not necessarily mean that it is related to the vaccine.

[15:24] Nie Dequan said that due to the expiration date of Fubitai vaccine, Fubitai Vaccination Center plans to operate until the end of September, and the first injection will be given at the end of August at the latest; as for Kexing Vaccination Center, it will also operate until the end of September, but Because the vaccine has a long shelf life, a private doctor will be arranged to assist in the vaccination.
[15:16] Nie Dequan, director of the Civil Service Bureau, met with reporters on the vaccination plan.
Nie said that 49 days have passed since the vaccination plan started, and more than 640,000 people have been vaccinated, that is, 9.7% of the population over 16 years old have been vaccinated.
It is necessary to ensure personnel exchanges, prevent importation, and prevent Hong Kong from going through a wave of unstoppable processes, so that the economy can be restored as soon as possible, and there will be jobs in all walks of life.
The authorities announced 4 measures today:
1. Expand the age group for vaccination. People aged 16 or above can get vaccination. The vaccination age for Fubitai vaccine is reduced to 16 years old, and Kexing must be 18 years old.
You can make an appointment next Friday.
2. Add 3 Fubitai vaccination centers, located in Tseung Kwan O, Tuen Mun Yau Oi Village, and Kwai Fong Rinstad Sports Ground
3. The Fubitai Vaccination Center plans to operate until the end of September, and the first injection will be given at the end of August at the latest; as for the Kexing Vaccination Center, it will also operate until the end of September, after which it will be vaccinated by private doctors.
4. Thematic website provides more information about vaccines
[14:46] According to the news, there are about 6 more confirmed cases.
[13:13] Nie Dequan, Director of the Civil Service Bureau, and Chen Zhaoshi, Director of the Food and Health Bureau, will meet with the media on the new crown vaccination plan at 3:15 this afternoon.
It is understood that the government will announce at a press conference that it will relax the vaccination group to citizens aged 16 or above.
[13:08] The government will hire tourism practitioners from May 1 to serve as reception and clerical work for 24 new coronavirus vaccination centers. It is expected to provide about 2,000 short-term positions for 5 months.
The plan has attracted more than 10,000 applications. Starting today (15th), it will be an interview day for the position of a registrar with a daily salary of 1,300 yuan.
Some senior travel industry practitioners sighed that even if they knew multiple languages and possessed multiple skills, they could only "spread out" to make a living under the epidemic, and they were useless.
Practitioners hope to seize the opportunity this time to increase a little income and encourage themselves to "take it easy" in the face of difficulties.

[13:03] "Hong Kong 01" discovered in the middle of last month that a private doctor vaccinated unqualified two-way pass holders with Kexing vaccination, exposing that the Department of Health did not provide clear guidelines to doctors and there were loopholes in the government system.
The doctor involved said at the time that the government agreed to complete the second injection for the person concerned based on humanitarian reasons.
However, a Canadian citizen who has received the first dose of the vaccine and does not have a Hong Kong ID card complained that the Department of Health recently (12th) refused a private clinic to complete the second dose for him, which is different from the previous statement.
He said that he plans to apply for a Chinese visa based on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Office in Hong Kong. He is currently unable to receive a second shot and is worried about health problems.
In response, the Department of Health only emphasized the identity of qualified persons under the vaccination plan, but did not directly respond to whether a second injection can be given.

[12:38] The AstraZeneca vaccine was originally scheduled to arrive in Australia in mid-year.
According to Macau media reports, the Director of the Macau Health Bureau, Luo Yilong, said today (15th) that the Australian government has proposed to the AstraZeneca vaccine manufacturer to suspend supply to Australia, and the other party responded with consent.
Luo pointed out that the Australian government will review more international reports and studies on vaccine safety, as well as policy recommendations in different places, before considering the next step.
Luo Yilong continued that the World Health Organization has not made a precise statement on whether to continue to use the AstraZeneca vaccine. According to the latest recommendations, it still believes that vaccination benefits outweigh the risks.
However, there are enough vaccines in Macau, and there is no urgent need to introduce AstraZeneca vaccine.

Yao Boliang, the convener of the Hong Kong Travel Agency's Great Alliance for Relief, pointed out in the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Millennium" today (15) that the industry very much hopes to restart local tours and cruises soon.
As for the government's point, only citizens who have been vaccinated can participate in high seas cruises.
