The vaccination rate among the elderly in Hong Kong is low, with the vaccination rate being less than 30% for people aged 70 or above.
The Secretary of the Civil Service, Nie Dequan, said that it is difficult to encourage elders who are hesitant to have vaccines. "Except for TV propaganda and more explanations, you must bury yourself and encourage them to be vaccinated." This month (September) will be held in two public offices. The hospital has set up a vaccination station. "After the follow-up elder sees the doctor's injection, please don't go to other places." According to information, the two hospitals are located at Tuen Mun Hospital and Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
It’s so hard to say that he (the elderly with chronic diseases) is gloomy. Apart from TV propaganda and more talks, you must bury yourself and encourage you to be vaccinated... In special department hospitals, severe cases and death rates are both very high.

Nie Dequan will be opened within the month: follow-up visits to the elderly do not ask to go to other places to fight
The first injection rate of the eligible population in Hong Kong is 65.7%, and only 28% of elderly people aged 70 or above get injections.
Nie Dequan said on the Radio Television Hong Kong program "Free Wind Free Phone" tonight (22) that vaccination stations will be opened in two public hospitals within this month.
Nie Dequan said that elderly people with chronic diseases hesitate about vaccines. "It's so hard to call them depression. Except for TV propaganda and talk about it, you must bury yourself and encourage them to be vaccinated." Stand-on lectures, one-on-one medical consultations", quoted experts insisting that if the condition is not an emergency, all the elderly should be given an injection, "if the flu vaccine is given, it is safe to get the new crown vaccine." In special department hospitals, severe illnesses and death rates are both very high."

Nie Dequan refers to the vaccination "recently to the bottleneck position"
The government has also extended the "same-day arrangement" of the vaccination center to citizens aged 12 or above. Nie Dequan mentioned that the vaccination plan "is near the bottleneck, and many people want to get an injection. The vaccination center is the most convenient and effective place." In the past, it was necessary to control the number of people and the supply of vaccines, so you had to make an appointment. The family can handle the amount as much as possible to make it convenient for the public to vaccinate. 1,080 "same-day chips" were dispatched.
Nie Dequan described the vaccination plan as "a bottleneck in the near future." The government encourages the elderly to get vaccinated quickly.
