Nie Dequan said that the two new coronavirus vaccines provided in Hong Kong are both highly effective in reducing severe illness and death. Under the threat of more contagious mutant virus strains, citizens, especially the elderly, should protect themselves through vaccination. There is no need to get vaccinated when you go out, and there should be no illusion that the younger generation can get vaccinated. We call on the elderly to seize the opportunity to get the new crown vaccine immediately before the winter flu season."

It is hoped that the elderly attending the seminar will tell their family members and other "friends" about the new crown vaccine, and share their own experience of vaccination, "If there are elderly people in the home If they have not been vaccinated yet, please tell them the information about the vaccine and encourage them to vaccinate. To achieve a 70% or higher vaccination rate in Hong Kong, each of us must do our part to promote it."
