The new crown vaccination program in Hong Kong has been in operation for nearly three months, and more than 1 million citizens have received their first dose of vaccine.

Fan Hongling, chairman of the Hospital Authority, said today (15th) that about 24,000 employees of the Hospital Authority have been vaccinated, accounting for 30% of full-time employees.

He opposes the public opinion that the government is "grain needles" saying that the government just wants to return to normal life and "do not use a lot of conspiracy theories to watch."

The Chief Executive Officer of the Hospital Authority, Gao Basheng, believes that the low vaccination rate is due to the stable epidemic in Hong Kong and there is no urgency. However, he emphasized that “vaccine is not protected as soon as the epidemic occurs. , Urge the public and medical care to vaccinate as soon as possible.

Fan Hongling and Gao Basheng stated on the commercial program "Political and Economic Saturday" today that the current epidemic in Hong Kong is generally under control, and fewer than 100 new coronary pneumonia patients are being treated in public hospitals.

The Hospital Authority is ready for the variant virus. If any patient infected with the variant virus is admitted to the hospital, separate isolation will be arranged. At present, the total number of negative pressure hospital beds is close to 2,000, and there are 1,700 spare beds, which I believe will be sufficient to cope with it.

Gao Basheng said that he understands that the public is worried about the mutant virus.

When asked how to treat and deal with patients infected with the variant virus, he said that the hospital will arrange for patients infected with the same variant virus to "bury them together." The same is done internationally, and he emphasized that laboratory tests are very important because they need to be informed as soon as possible. Which virus belongs to.

Gao believes that the HA’s current approach to dealing with patients with variant viruses is effective, but does not dare to take it lightly and will constantly refer to international practices and literature.

Fan Hongling urges HA staff to be vaccinated

Fan Hongling also called on the staff of the Hospital Authority to be vaccinated in the program, saying that many foreign friends envied Hong Kong for being able to vaccinate the citizens in accordance with the guidelines of pharmaceutical factories, describing Hong Kong as very happy.

When asked how to attract medical staff to vaccinate, he said that he is organizing relevant institutions to give injections to employees in the hospital. Currently, employees can also apply for half-day vacation injections. The HA will try its best to facilitate and encourage employees to vaccinate.

The Hospital Authority recently requested that all about 65,000 front-line employees who have direct contact with patients should use rapid antigen test reagents to conduct tests on a regular basis each week, but they can be exempted if they have received two injections of the vaccine.

Was asked whether the arrangement was a "grain needle" approach?

Gao Basheng said that testing is a very common practice for frontline medical care. "It is of course best to protect yourself if you have immunity. If you don't have it, then you should go back to regular testing."

He also said that he actually wanted to introduce the relevant arrangements earlier, but there was an upper limit on the testing capacity earlier. He emphasized that the antigen test is "like a pregnancy test, which is very convenient."

As for the side effects after vaccination, Gao Basheng said that hundreds of millions of people around the world have received injections, and most of them have no side effects, and some are very mild, such as needle pain. In Hong Kong, people with severe side effects are also very affected. Less, appeal to the public to rest assured.
