The first batch of about 770,000 doses of Fubitai bivalent vaccine has arrived in Hong Kong. The Secretary for the Civil Service, Yang Ho Pei-yin, said on a radio program today (26th) that the bivalent vaccine will be administered from December 1.
When citizens make appointments for the fourth dose of the new crown vaccine tomorrow (27th), they can choose a bivalent vaccine.
From December 1st, when the fourth injection is given at the vaccination center on the same day, you can also choose to receive the bivalent vaccine.
Yang He Beiyin said that the bivalent vaccine can be used as an option for the fourth injection, and it will be available to the public for vaccination on December 1, and appointments will be accepted from tomorrow, but the public is reminded that the bivalent vaccine can only be used as an option for the fourth injection. The three doses cannot be vaccinated, and citizens can also choose the Fubitai vaccine that has been used for the fourth dose.
The priority vaccination group for the fourth dose includes people over the age of 50, people aged 18 to 49 who work in nursing homes or medical institutions, people with high exposure to work, and young people aged 12 to 17 with weak immunity. A fourth injection is not recommended for the time being.
The SWD has also begun to arrange for the fourth dose of vaccination for residents of residential care homes. However, due to the complicated storage and dilution process of Fubitai vaccine, it is temporarily unable to arrange individual home-based vaccinations for non-residential residents.

Yang He Beiyin said that the current vaccination rate for the elderly and the young is not as good as it should be. If children are infected with the new crown virus, severe illness will affect their studies and emotions. Some parents who are still hesitant are worried that if something happens to their children after vaccination, it will drag their children down. Emphasized that unvaccinated young children may have serious sequelae if they are infected, and the consequences are even more serious. "You are afraid that something will happen if you hit the BB, but in fact, you will regret it even more if you don't hit it."
Regarding the elderly, she said that the first two doses of residents in residential care have reached more than 90% of the vaccination rate, which is higher than the vaccination rate in Hong Kong, but the vaccination situation of the elderly over 80 years old is not ideal.
About 2,800 elderly people decided not to get vaccinated after registering for the "home-based vaccination service", partly because their family members did not agree.
She said that many elderly people need repeated explanations before they are willing to get an injection, emphasizing that they will continue to promote vaccination.
