The Omicron epidemic is spreading in Hong Kong. The Secretary for the Civil Service, Nip Takquan, said in a radio program today (10th) that the public has been actively vaccinating in recent days, and the government has increased the number of community vaccination centers and public hospital vaccination stations. The volume increased by 30% compared with the beginning of this month.
Nie Dequan pointed out that at present, only 20% of the elderly over the age of 80 are vaccinated, and he believes that the vaccination of the elderly needs to be accelerated and strengthened.
He said that today's donations from the Community Vaccination Centre will only be distributed to seniors aged 60 or above starting tomorrow.

Nie Dequan pointed out that recently he noticed that some elderly people do not know how to make an appointment and need to rely on the same day fundraising, so he hopes to limit the collection to the elderly aged 60 or above to facilitate them, "Those who can make an appointment can make an appointment. With today’s chips, all of them are for the elderly, I believe this method is more convenient and efficient.”
He also pointed out that the vast majority of the elderly are suitable for vaccination, but he believes that the biggest obstacle is their family members. The government will hold health seminars for them to increase their willingness to be vaccinated.
In the middle of next month, all government employees must have vaccination certificates before entering government premises and offices. Nie Dequan believes that statutory bodies and public bodies will follow suit, and he calls on other companies to follow suit.
