Original Title: Hong Kong Healthcare Industry: Safe and Reliable Vaccines Urges Public to Get Vaccinated ASAP Source: CCTV News Client
Since the government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region officially launched the vaccination plan last week, the public has responded enthusiastically and the system has been running smoothly. As of 8:00 p.m. on day 1, more than 228,000 people have made appointments for vaccination. The journalist extensively interviewed people from the Hong Kong healthcare industry. They noted that Kexing vaccines are safe and reliable, and that the vaccination plan is proceeding in a safe and orderly manner. People in industry are urged to get vaccinated as soon as possible.
△ Cui Junming, President of the Hong Kong Society of Hospital PharmacistsCui Junming, President of the Hong Kong Society of Hospital Pharmacists:The Kexing vaccine itself is an inactivated vaccine. The inactivated vaccine is a relatively long-term technology, the most important thing is that its safety is established, so the public does not have to worry about it. You can see that many other countries, especially developing countries, have been vaccinated with the Koxing vaccine.
The Hong Kong healthcare industry further noted that Kexing vaccines are safe, effective and quality assured. The benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks, and the public is urged to get vaccinated as soon as possible.
Cui Junming, President of the Hong Kong Society of Hospital Pharmacists:Because there are some people who are not suitable for vaccination, for example, some elderly are weak and bedridden in nursing homes, we do not recommend vaccination at the moment.We hope that herd immunity can occur. One advantage of more people getting vaccinated is that these people who are unsuitable for vaccination can be protected, so early vaccination is really a good thing.
To better promote the vaccination plan, the RAE government has openly hired professional medical personnel for vaccination. Hong Kong medical workers are actively involved in the vaccination plan. Among them, the Hong Kong School of Nursing, the only professional institution in Hong Kong that is in line with the International School of Nursing, is a typical representative. Currently, the Hong Kong School of Nursing has recruited more than 1,300 nursing and medical representatives to participate in the vaccination plan.
△ Gu Huixian, President of the Hong Kong School of NursingGu Huixian, President of the Hong Kong College of Nursing:Hong Kong has a lot of epidemic prevention work and the SAR government has many, many tasks. Our nurses cooperate with each other at work. As a nurses association, we are all looking to support the government’s epidemic prevention work, in hopes of getting back to normal life as soon as possible.
In response to the current situation of citizens actively registering for vaccination, in addition to the previous community vaccination centers, the SAR government has also opened community vaccination centers to respond to the needs of citizens. Some well-known Hong Kong medical centers have also actively participated in this vaccination plan.
△ Leung Guoling, Chief Operating Officer of Hong Kong Health International Medical Group Co., Ltd.Leung Guoling, Chief Operating Officer of Hong Kong Town Health International Medical Group Co., Ltd .:In Hong Kong, we are very grateful to the country for supplying many vaccines. The Kexing vaccine is now in Hong Kong and more than 200,000 people have made appointments since the beginning. So far, 30,000 people have been vaccinated, so we are very happy and hope that the epidemic can be brought under control soon.
Hong Kong citizens who are interested in vaccinating the Kexing vaccine can schedule appointments for eight vaccination centers for the Kexing vaccine and 18 general outpatient clinics under the Hospital Authority through the online appointment system.
At the same time, citizens can also choose to make appointments directly with private doctors and clinics participating in the plan to vaccinate Kexing vaccines, instead of making an appointment through the government’s online appointment system.
