Hospital Authority to resume flu vaccination service
****************************************************
The Hospital Authority (HA) spokesperson said today (November 30) that following the suspension on the use of a batch of quadrivalent seasonal influenza vaccines (box label: R3J721V; syringe label: R3J72), the stocks are being replenished with other unaffected batches of influenza vaccines.
With due consideration for patient safety, all injection service points are now inspecting the replenished vaccines. The seasonal influenza vaccination service will fully resume on Monday (December 3). Members of the public may call the HA hotline on 2300 6028 during office hours, Monday to Friday, for enquiries. The HA will continue to liaise closely with the Department of Health for an update on the latest situation.
