Group staff and tenants support COVID-19 vaccination (with photos)

******************************************************************

The Secretary for the Civil Service, Mr Patrick Nip, visited Windsor House in Causeway Bay today (June 28). During the visit, he and the Chief Executive Officer of Chinese Estates Holdings Limited, Ms Chan Hoi-wan, jointly viewed the administering of the BioNTech vaccine to over 200 people, including staff members and tenants of the group, as arranged by the Government's outreach vaccination service.

"I am grateful to Chinese Estates Holdings Limited for joining hands with the Government in promoting the "Early Vaccination for All" campaign by providing a convenient place in this building for its staff and their families as well as tenants to receive vaccination through the outreach vaccination service," Mr Nip said.

Mr Nip called on enterprises and organisations to encourage their employees to get vaccinated so as to help build an immune barrier in Hong Kong as soon as possible by significantly raising the vaccination rate, thereby restoring normality to society sooner rather than later.

Should enterprises and organisations have a sufficient number of employees who would like to get vaccinated and a suitable venue with sufficient space, they can make use of the outreach vaccination service so that their employees can be vaccinated in a more convenient way. Enterprises and groups can call the hotline for the outreach vaccination service at 3904 1490 from Monday to Friday, from 9am to 6pm, for arrangements.

There has been enthusiastic support for the outreach vaccination programme since it was launched by the Civil Service Bureau. The bureau has provided the outreach vaccination service to the Hong Kong Sports Institute, global professional services enterprises, property developers, a financial institution, the construction industry, a university and a district organisation.

Mr Nip expressed his gratitude to the medical team and administrative support staff of the Community Vaccination Centre at Ho Man Tin Sports Centre for providing the outreach service today.
