The outbreak of the variant virus Omicron is getting worse. The Hong Kong government recently announced the expansion of the "vaccine bubble". Starting February 24, it will enter restaurants and other places and be vaccinated.
Cai Jian, the president of the Hong Kong Medical Association, said today (7th) that 30% of recent patients have concerns about vaccination and hope to obtain a certificate of exemption.
Some of them were suspected of having myocarditis after the first shot, but the hospital still recommended the second shot.
Zeng Qiyin, the co-chairman of the Infectious Disease Advisory Committee, said that some elderly people "as soon as they hear the government say that there is no need to drink tea with injections, and if they don't have a bleat disease, and if they are well controlled, they rush out to get an injection."
The association reminded people with chronic illnesses to pay attention to their physical conditions and urged the government to provide physical examination services in general clinics.
The Hong Kong Medical Association held a press conference today and made a number of recommendations on the epidemic in Hong Kong.

Cai Jian said that 30% of the patients recently "seek help" because they are worried about vaccination, hoping to be exempted from the need for injections, including the elderly and pregnant women.
He pointed out that some patients were exempted with reasonable grounds. Four to five patients have received certificates in the past two weeks.
For example, he said that "myocardial enzymes in the blood have increased many times after the first injection", which is estimated to be myocarditis, but the hospital still recommends the second injection, which "causes a lot of worry."
Cai Jian urges the government to set up inspection services in general outpatient clinics, etc., so that citizens can check the three higher levels before vaccination. If necessary, free electrocardiogram inspections can alleviate public doubts.
Zeng Qiyin said that some citizens are "hard-liners, and the more they ask me to do (injection), I won't do anything."
However, there are elderly people who "as soon as they hear the government say that there is no need for injections to drink tea." They plan to get vaccinated regardless of their physical conditions, reminding people with unstable third-level illnesses to assess their physical conditions.
Chen Yicheng, co-chairman of the Infectious Disease Advisory Committee of the Medical Association, said that in the past, two patients had been issued exemption certificates, including a 40-year-old patient who had congenital hemangioma in the brain, had two bloods, and now has high blood pressure. , So provide a certificate, it is recommended not to take the injection temporarily, and then check first.
He also said that some patients do not want to be vaccinated because of psychological factors, including the death of a patient's brother-in-law who was given an injection. He described "the psychological barrier is huge."
