Children aged 5 to 11 will need to present a vaccine pass to enter the listed places, such as restaurants, sports venues and libraries, starting today (30th).
Some parents took their sons to the Kowloon Park swimming pool in the afternoon, only to find out about the new measures, but they did nothing to criticize the policy. They also did not think that vaccination is an effective and safe method of epidemic prevention. They believed that the vaccine pass was unnecessary.
However, many children are vaccinated.
In a primary school in Yau Ma Tei and McDonald's in Chun Fa Garden, some children believed that vaccination could protect their health, while some said they wanted to participate in extracurricular activities, so they were vaccinated.
From September 30, children aged 5 to 11 need to hold a valid vaccine pass to enter the premises. In the afternoon at the Kowloon Park swimming pool, Mr. Chung's 11-year-old and 7-year-old sons could only look at the door and sigh because they had not been vaccinated. .

Parents: Sons who have been diagnosed with antibodies should be allowed to show a certificate of recovery instead
The reporter went to the Kowloon Park swimming pool this afternoon and found that some parents were unable to bring their two sons into the swimming pool due to the issue of the vaccine pass.
Mr. Zhong said that he did not know about the implementation of the Children's Vaccine Pass today, and thought it was very troublesome.
He pointed out that even if the government requires everyone to be vaccinated, it is actually difficult to monitor.
Mr. Zhong said that the two sons were diagnosed in March. He believed that if they had been diagnosed, they should have antibodies. Therefore, he believed that the certificate of recovery should have the same effect as the certificate of vaccination. It is actually unfair to enter the designated premises.
When asked whether under the vaccine pass policy, would all consider taking children to be vaccinated?
Mr. Zhong said, "Looking at the situation", he thinks it depends on how the final policy will be decided and how the current situation develops.
However, he always felt that children should not be vaccinated. He felt that children were precious to the next generation. If the body did not know how to react after being vaccinated, it would have an impact on the children in the long run.
However, many children are vaccinated.
In a primary school in Yau Ma Tei and McDonald's in Chun Fa Garden, some children believed that vaccination could protect their health, while some said they wanted to participate in extracurricular activities, so they were vaccinated.
At this McDonald's, elementary school students scanned the QR code of Anxinxing outside the door at noon.
Mai said that she had been vaccinated, but she said that she did not know the policy of "vaccine passport".
Little Mai successfully scanned the QR code. She has been vaccinated, but she said that she did not know there was a policy of "Children's Vaccine Pass".

The government announced that starting from September 30, the applicable age of vaccine passes will be lowered. Children aged 5 to 11 must have received at least one dose of vaccine and have been under 3 months before they can enter the listed premises.
If they received their first dose of the vaccine three months or earlier, they will have to receive a second dose to meet the new requirements.
From November 30, the vaccination requirements for children aged 5 to 11 years old are unified to have received the second dose of the vaccine.
During the period of the epidemic, it is expected that the number of cases will be slowed down and hospitalized, and the number of severe cases will be reduced by 40%. The AWE will be transferred to standby to relax the epidemic prevention | The fitness industry expects personal trainers to be the most affected; swimming classes lose 30%; students use vaccines to 5 years old
