The government vaccination plan has been launched for more than 200 days, and more than 4.3 million people have received the first dose of vaccine. Behind the number is the result of the efforts of many staff.
Many staff of the Hospital Authority, including doctors, nurses and pharmacists, are also involved in the work of the vaccination center, and they have recorded many unforgettable events.
When a group of medical staff shared their feelings about working in a vaccination center, they all mentioned that there were many “fake news” related to injections circulating in the market. The control of the condition caused delays in injections.
There are also people who mistakenly believe that "groove injection" will be more effective. They returned to Hong Kong after receiving other new crown vaccines in other places, concealing the history of injections by the center staff, trying to vaccinate Fubitai vaccine, and self-made "groove injection".

Lin Yanming, a senior nurse (community medical) who works at the Community Vaccination Center of Yuen Long Stadium, pointed out that there are many fallacies about vaccination in the market. When it comes to receiving the wrong information, they usually say: "Someone wants me to stop listening." As a result, the condition became unstable, which caused delays or inability to vaccinate.
She pointed out that if citizens have any questions, they should ask doctors and other professionals and listen to professional opinions.
Refusal to vaccinate citizens who want to make homemade "groove injection"
Earlier, it was also circulated that "ditch injections have better protection." Huang Huiling, the operation manager of the psychiatric department of Queen Mary Hospital, who works at the Zhongshan Park Gymnasium Vaccination Center, said that a couple returned to Hong Kong after receiving the first dose of the Chinese medicine vaccine in the Mainland, and then made an appointment. He was vaccinated with Fubitide vaccine, and concealed the medical consultation and lied that he had never vaccinated. After the husband was vaccinated, the wife said that she had leaked her mouth and blew herself up for the first dose of vaccine in China. , The staff of the center immediately refused to vaccinate her, but before she left, she said that she "will go to the next day to fight."
The Food and Health Bureau has stated earlier that if someone has concealed the vaccination from abroad and then takes the injection in Hong Kong, it may involve dishonestly obtaining the benefits of vaccination and constitute a criminal offence. In addition, "ditch injection" has not been proven safe and safe. Effective, citizens should not experiment on their own.
Fainting after an injection is often related to excessive tension
Cases of fainting and being sent to hospital after vaccination occasionally occur. Lin Chengjie, deputy consultant of the Accident and Emergency Department of Pok Oi Hospital, who works at the Community Vaccination Center of Yuen Long Stadium, said that most of the fainting cases are caused by vasovagal reactions, which are often caused by excessive stress. As a result, when the blood vessels are dilated, the amount of blood delivered decreases, causing the brain to faint without getting the nutrients and oxygen delivered by the blood immediately.
Yu Yingxin, a senior nurse in the Nursing Department of Eastern District Hospital who works at the Sai Wan River Vaccination Center, said that during a 45-minute break, up to four vaccinators were sent to the medical station. She pointed out that when someone fainted, she said. Others will also become nervous. "The citizens in the rest area will be shocked, so many people will enter in a short time."
Tourism employees assist medical care and communication with foreign vaccinators
Yu Yingxin said that language barriers are also one of the difficulties of working in a vaccine center. For example, Japanese and Koreans have been vaccinated, which makes communication difficult, especially when uncomfortable, speech barriers make it difficult to comfort vaccinated people.
Until tourism employees were hired to work in vaccination centers, many vaccination centers had more staff who knew how to communicate in foreign languages, which could help communication and ease emotions.
