The Scientific Committee on Vaccine Preventable Diseases and the Scientific Committee on New Discoveries and Animal Infectious Diseases under the Center for Health Protection of the Department of Health held a joint meeting today. The Director of the Center for Health Protection Xu Lejian, the chairmen of the two scientific committees Liu Yulong, and Xu Shuchang met with the media after the meeting.
Once a citizen of Kexing needs a third shot, he can ditch the Fubitai
Xu Shuchang said that people with immune disorders, including those suffering from cancer, those who have received organ transplants, AIDS, rheumatism, etc., who need to take food to suppress the immune system, should receive the third dose of the vaccine.
He said that after receiving the second shot of the vaccine, the relevant person should have the third shot four weeks apart; if he is a Kexing, he can consider switching to Fubitai, because the literature shows that the antibody level will be higher, but he emphasized Kexing is not invalid.

Xu: It is not recommended to use Kexing for the third shot of those who have already recovered.
Xu Shuchang continued that elderly people 60 years of age or older, "high-risk groups" such as medical staff, frontline staff including cross-border drivers, crew members, hotel workers, and chronically ill patients, should also receive the third shot.
If the relevant person has received two shots of Kexing before, they can get the third shot 6 months later, or consider switching to Bitex.
As for the people of the same kind who received two injections of Forbitux, he said that he can also get the third injection 6 months after the second injection, but he does not recommend switching to Kexing, because there will be no better results.
People who have recovered from the new coronary pneumonia in the past only need one dose of the vaccine.
Xu Shuchang said that although their antibody levels can be maintained for a longer period of time, they will always fall, and they may need to go abroad. Therefore, they can consider taking the second shot 6 months after the first shot. Details can be discussed with the doctor.
Hong Kong is about to enter winter and will face the flu virus.
Liu Yulong said that it is recommended that the new crown vaccine and influenza vaccine should be vaccinated at least 14 days apart.
He said that Hong Kong's failure to follow the WHO's updated guidelines does not mean that the WHO is making a mistake. It is purely an assessment of the situation in Hong Kong and the belief that Hong Kong has sufficient time to arrange for it to be vaccinated.
He also said that this will help distinguish possible reactions or side effects, and emphasized that the number of days can be handled flexibly.
Asked when to implement the third injection, Xu Lejian said that he would "do it in an orderly manner." In the current global epidemic situation, he believes that it needs to be launched as soon as possible. If there are enough citizens who have received the same two or two shots, they will need to calculate how many doses of the third shot of the vaccine will be. For the time being, there is no plan to force the third shot.
In addition, the government has recently tightened the discharge standards for patients with COVID-19, including requiring them to be isolated for another two weeks after being discharged from the hospital.
Xu Lejian said that this move is to reduce the risk of patients' recovery to the community, and hopes to minimize the risk.
