More than 1.2 million people in Hong Kong have been infected with the new crown virus in the past few months. They do not need to be vaccinated for half a year after recovery. They can use the QR code of the recovered to enter and exit places that require a vaccine pass.
Starting from the 31st of this month, the vaccine pass will be upgraded to three doses of the vaccine. Some people infected with the virus in January found that the validity period of the QR code of the recovered person will expire in July, and they have already received two doses of the vaccine. When the third dose is administered, it may be impossible to enter or leave restaurants and listed premises.
The Food and Health Bureau replied to "Hong Kong 01", stating that citizens only need to follow the government's vaccination requirements, and those who have already received two shots do not need to receive a third shot.
However, the bureau did not answer whether the QR code of the recovered person "expired", whether the public will continue to use their own QR code, or if there are other arrangements.

Vaccine Pass will be increased to 3 shots from May 31
At present, when entering restaurants and listed premises, in addition to scanning the Safe Travel App, some premises also need to scan the customer's vaccine pass.
Starting from April 30, entering the relevant places must have received at least two doses of the vaccine, and it will be upgraded to three doses by the 31st of this month.
However, after a confirmed patient recovers, they can wait three months at the earliest before being vaccinated, and up to six months.
The Department of Health launched a new platform in April. Recovered patients can obtain electronic recovery records on the government website, or obtain the QR code of the recovered patients through "Medical Health Link", which can be scanned and recorded at the venue without the need to present the needle card.

Those who have recovered from two doses of the vaccine do not need a third dose
In the fifth wave of the epidemic, 1.2 million people were infected. According to the Department of Health, if citizens have been vaccinated with two doses of the vaccine before they contracted the epidemic, they do not need a third dose after recovery, and the central recording system will also refuse their vaccination requirements.
Only the recovered people found the QR code to be puzzling. The QR code stated that the validity period was half a year from the date of infection. That is, if the infected person was infected in January, the QR code would expire in July. I thought I was going to get a third shot before the deadline, but I don't know what to do.
Food and Health Bureau: The number of vaccine doses is based on the current injection requirements
However, the government has not stated whether the recovered patients who have received two injections will still need a third injection before they can enter the relevant venues after the QR code of the recovery record "expires".
The Food and Health Bureau only reiterated that the recovered patients who have received two injections can follow the current injection requirements; and stressed that the third phase of the "Vaccine Pass" on May 31 will not prevent the public from entering the relevant places due to the QR code.
As for whether there will be any update measures for the recovered QR codes after the "expiration", the authorities have not answered directly.
