The government announced a few days ago that it will further tighten the existing "vaccination instead of regular testing" arrangement for all government employees starting from December 28, and the non-injection will require self-financed testing every 3 days.
Leung Choi-ting, the director general of the Federation of Civil Service Unions, said today (22nd) that about 90% of civil servants have been vaccinated, and most of those who have not received the injection have physical problems or worries, including pregnant women.
If encrypted testing will affect manpower arrangements, we hope that the government will extend the opening of testing centers or night clinics to provide testing services, or change testing to a 5-day inspection.

Leung Choi-ting pointed out in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Commercial TV programs that the union agrees with the government’s call for employees to be vaccinated, while civil servants are “not so good.” 9 adults have been vaccinated. Others who have not been vaccinated generally have physical problems or worries. For example, pregnant women are worried about the impact on their babies, but it is generally difficult to obtain a doctor's certificate.
He believes that the government has overlooked that most doctors are unwilling to issue certificates that are not suitable for vaccination.

Leung Choi-ting used his long-term patient as an example. He has always seen two doctors. Among them, the private specialist said that he should make his own decision. Leung believes that the doctor does not want to bear this responsibility, because if something goes wrong, he will need to "fly away."
And Liang Kan's other publicly-run specialist only said that at Liang Choi-ting's age, he "plays better than not", but has no other instructions.
Other colleagues also asked him for inquiries, saying that the doctor was unwilling to issue a certificate that it was not suitable for vaccination.
He pointed out that the requirement for the three-day inspection will have an impact on the manpower arrangements. He believes that the government should provide resources to open night clinics or extend the opening hours so that civil servants can be inspected after get off work; or it can be changed to the 5-day inspection so that they can be tested during the weekend.
Zeng Qiyin, the co-chair of the Infectious Disease Advisory Committee of the Medical Association, said in a program on Hong Kong and Taiwan that the government’s new arrangement is "justifiable." Because vaccination has become a general trend, it can reduce the chance of infection during work.
He pointed out that encryption detection is to detect infected cases earlier and follow up as soon as possible.
The government will implement a "vaccine bubble" in government buildings and office premises in mid-February 2022.
