Vaccine Pass︱ Lam Cheng: It is difficult to cancel indicators, such as virus variants or require new vaccines

The Chief Executive, Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, met with reporters before attending the Executive Council this morning (24th) and was asked whether the authorities would consider canceling the vaccine pass once the vaccination rate reaches a certain level.

Carrie Lam said that there is still room for improvement in the vaccination rate at present, and the vaccine passport must continue to be implemented. It is difficult to say any "hard indicators" to cancel the relevant policies, because the virus is changing all the time.

Carrie Lam has taken the lead in getting the fourth Kexing vaccine earlier.

Carrie Lam pointed out that in the past week, the epidemic situation in Hong Kong has been stable and has shown a downward trend.

The current vaccination rate of the first and second doses is ideal, at 91.9% and 86.5%, respectively, while the third dose is 53.7%.

With the implementation of the third phase of the vaccine pass on May 31, she called on the public to get vaccinated as soon as possible.

At present, there is still room for improvement in the vaccination rate. The second injection is not enough for 90%

Asked if the authorities had set a target to consider canceling the vaccine pass once the vaccination rate reaches a certain level.

Lam reiterated that most anti-epidemic measures will cause inconvenience, but the premise is to protect the lives, health and safety of the public. Although experts have different opinions, there is still room for improvement in the current vaccination rate in Hong Kong, and the second vaccination rate is not enough. 90%, the third shot vaccination rate is just over half, so the vaccine pass needs to continue to be implemented.

She pointed out that it is difficult to say whether there is a hard indicator for the cancellation of the pass, because the virus changes all the time.

Adding a deputy secretary is cumbersome?
