The new crown vaccination program is in full swing in Hong Kong, but Hong Kong residents living in the Mainland say it is difficult to make an appointment for injections in Shenzhen.

Hong Kong University Shenzhen Hospital Dean Lu Chongmao said this morning that since April, Hong Kong people have been injected with more than 7,000 doses of the new crown vaccine, but the vaccine supply in the Mainland is cleared daily. It is recommended that Hong Kong residents in the Mainland make an appointment one day before the injection.

Recently, we have to deal with the demand for a second shot, emphasizing that the situation has nothing to do with the shortage of vaccines.

The Hong Kong University Shenzhen Hospital will also set up vaccination clinics at the end of July. The number of places will be increased from 800 to 1,000, and the target is to provide 2,000 places.

The Federation of Trade Unions earlier received help from Hong Kong residents in the Mainland, stating that they could not log in to the "Healthy Shenzhen" mobile application. Earlier, in the name of a group, they reserved 50 injection places at the Hong Kong University Shenzhen Hospital.

Lu Chongmao said that the situation has nothing to do with the supply of vaccines. It is just that in order to avoid wasting the injections every day, it is impossible to make an appointment for the injection time next week. Hong Kong residents in the Mainland are advised to make an appointment the day before the injection.

Hong Kong people can choose to vaccinate Kexing, Sinopharm or Kangtai's new crown vaccine, but only one vaccine is provided every day. He believes that some people who want to get a certain vaccine will find it more difficult to make an appointment.

Lu also pointed out that the hospital has injected more than 7,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine for Hong Kong residents since April, and the hospital currently provides 800 vaccinations per day for the new crown, and the number will continue to increase with the opening of the vaccination clinic at the end of July. To 1,000, with a target of 2,000.

However, Lu Chongmao said frankly that to ensure that people who have received the first injection can get the second injection within 6 weeks, 90% of the quota will be reserved for the second injection for the time being, and the quota will be reopened later.

Lu Chongmao believes that it is a good intention for some Members to suggest that the remaining vaccines in Hong Kong should be sent to Shenzhen, but it is not suitable. He emphasized that the vaccines in Hong Kong should remain in Hong Kong as a reserve because it is difficult to find a single shot in the world. Vaccination rate."
