Hong Kong’s new crown vaccination rate has not reached 70%. The Secretary for Civil Service, Nie Dequan, said on a radio program this morning (16th) that a special telephone line for vaccines will be set up. If the elderly need to call, they can arrange a special car to the vaccination center for injections.
The government will also launch a mobile vaccine vehicle next month to vaccinate the public with Fubitai and Kexing vaccines in housing estates and other places.
In the past week, only 3000 people received the first injection every day
Nie Dequan said that in the past 7 days, only 3,000 people received the first dose of vaccination per day, which was a significant decrease from earlier, and called on citizens who have not received the first dose to get the first dose before the end of November.
He expects that the number of vaccination centers will decrease in the future, and arrangements will be made depending on the need for the third injection.
In addition to vaccination in clinics and 7 hospitals, community halls will also provide on-site vaccination services.
He also said that the government has purchased 7.5 million doses of Fubitai and Kexing vaccines, and there are sufficient numbers for the citizens to get the third shot.
WHO experts earlier suggested that people over 60 years of age who were vaccinated with Kexing and Sinopharm should receive a third dose to strengthen their protection.
The government expert advisory group will meet next Thursday (21st) to discuss the principles and implementation time of the third dose of vaccination.
