The Secretary for Innovation and Technology Xue Yongheng said on a program a few days ago that if Hong Kong people need to convert the Hong Kong Health Code to the "Yuekang Code" for customs clearance, "it is necessary to have vaccinations."
In other words, it is expected that those who have not completed the vaccination will find it difficult to pass.
However, if Macao residents need to pass the border to Zhuhai, they do not need to complete the vaccination. They only need to have a negative test certificate within 7 days, that is, Hong Kong will be stricter than Macau.
The reporter is asking the government whether adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17 who have received only one dose of Fubital vaccine meet the definition of "complete vaccination"; and whether people with low immunity must receive three injections to pass the border.

The Hong Kong Health Code will be launched this Friday (10th), and citizens do not need to upload vaccination records when registering. However, Xue Yongheng said on the Now TV program "Da Ming Da Fang" that if the Hong Kong Health Code needs to be "transcoded in the future" "Yuekang Code", you need to add other information, "Vaccinations must be buried, and negative test records are required. Arrange and enter another piece of information to make the Yuekang code available for daily use."
However, Lin Yutao, a member of the Macau Legislative Council, said that if Macau people want to cross the border to the mainland, they do not have to be vaccinated with the new crown vaccine first. They only need to have the nucleic acid test results within 7 days.
On the other hand, Xue Yongheng and Government Information Technology Director Lin Weiqiao stated at the press conference that when citizens register for the Hong Kong Health Code, they only need to upload their "Travel with Peace" whereabouts in the past 21 days, even if they haven’t been in the past 21 days. Travel with peace of mind, the government will also accept it.
