The government has repeatedly announced in recent months that eligible persons can receive the third dose of the new crown vaccine.
The Secretary for the Civil Service, Nie Dequan, stated on a TV program today (7th) that the current vaccination rate for the 20 to 59-year-old group has exceeded 70%. If the vaccination rate is to be further increased, the assistance of enterprises is required, including reference to government practices and requirements. Employees who have not received the injection shall be tested regularly.
Government employees who have not received injections need to be tested every two weeks. Nie revealed that the number of days may be shortened to 7 days, and he hopes companies will follow suit.
In addition, Nie Dequan said that strict measures may not be taken to require citizens to get the third shot, but he hopes that qualified persons will be vaccinated as soon as possible.
He agreed that a vaccine holiday should be promoted for the third dose, and the government will make an announcement after the relevant decision is made.

The third needle received 35,000 appointments in the first two days
Nie Dequan said on the radio program "Clarify the Truth", after opening the third-dose vaccine reservation system last Friday (5th), 35,000 reservations were received in the first two days.

Nie Dequan: Strict measures may not be taken at this stage, but I don’t know when the fifth wave will burst
Asked whether citizens will be required to get three doses of vaccine before they can go to specific places, Nie Dequan said that strict measures may not be adopted at this stage, but he does not know when the fifth wave of epidemic will break out, and the elderly are at high risk of severe illness. He appealed to be eligible. The public will get the third shot as soon as possible.
He added that it will depend on the third dose of vaccination, and then the study will open the third dose to other eligible vaccinators.
In the past, the two injections of the government have introduced vaccine holidays. Nie Dequan believes that it is equally reasonable to push for the third injection. The government will announce it again when it makes a decision and encourage companies to adopt similar measures.

The first shot vaccination rate seems to be close to 70% and it is still far away to increase the vaccination rate needs to be promoted by enterprises
The current vaccination rate for the first shot is 68.9%. Nie Dequan said that although it seems to be close to 70%, it "seems to be far away."
He added that the current vaccination rate for the 20 to 59-year-old group is more than 70%, and if one step is to increase the vaccination rate, it needs to be promoted by enterprises.
He pointed out that taking the government, the Hospital Authority, and schools as examples, the vaccination rate has increased to 90% after requiring non-injected employees to be tested regularly at their own expense. I believe that if companies adopt the same measures, they will help increase the vaccination rate.
He continued to point out that it is possible to shorten the period of regular inspections for government employees who have not received injections from every 14 days to 7 days, hoping that other companies will follow suit.

Earlier, Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said that the third shot would receive the Koxing vaccine.
Nie Dequan was also asked which vaccine to get on the show. He said that he would get the third shot, but the style was "sold out."
He continued that the third injection of Bitex produced higher neutralizing antibodies, but the two had similar effects in terms of preventing severe illness and death.
He said that after the Kexing vaccine was previously administered, there were no side effects and he was confident in the inactivation technology.
