The Secretary for Food and Health, Chen Zhaoshi, announced today (20) that he approved the expansion of Kexing’s applicable age to cover people aged 3 to 17. It is agreed that according to expert recommendations, the department will give priority to the vaccinations of 12 to 17-year-old teenagers, and expand to children of lower age groups at a later stage.

The Joint Science Committee of the Health Protection Center announced yesterday the arrangements for vaccination of young people. It is recommended that middle school students aged 12 to 17 can take the lead in the injection of Kexing vaccine.
Liu Yulong, chairman of the Scientific Committee on Vaccine-Preventable Diseases, said this morning that many middle school students hoped to make science and technology, and the vaccination rate reached 70%.
Therefore, it is expected that after the launch of Kexing vaccination, the vaccination rate of middle school students can be increased to more than 80%, which will help middle schools to resume full-time face-to-face courses.
It is expected that the vaccination will be extended to elementary school students early next year, and two or three months of experience will be accumulated and then extended to kindergartens.
Xu Shuchang, a government expert consultant and chairman of the Scientific Committee on New Discoveries and Animal Infectious Diseases, said that whether it is an adult or a child, the vaccination of Kexing also requires three injections to be considered complete.
