COVID-19 Vaccination Stations to be set up at four public hospitals
*******************************************************************
     The Government will set up COVID-19 Vaccination Stations in four public hospitals starting from next Monday (October 18) to enable patients visiting the hospital for follow-up appointments and visitors, in particular patients of specialist out-patient clinics, to receive BioNTech vaccination without prior booking when they have their follow-up medical consultation.
 
     The new COVID-19 Vaccination Stations will be set up in Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital, Tseung Kwan O Hospital, Caritas Medical Centre and Prince of Wales Hospital respectively. In addition to the vaccination stations in Queen Mary Hospital, Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Tuen Mun Hospital which came into service last month, the number of vaccination stations will increase from three to seven.
 
     The Secretary for the Civil Service, Mr Patrick Nip, said today (October 15), "The vaccination rate for elderly persons has increased recently. However, given the threat posed by mutant strains, their vaccination rate should raise further as they have comparatively higher risk of falling seriously ill and dying brought by COVID-19 infection. As such, the Government set up vaccination stations operated by medical organisations in three public hospitals as a pilot scheme. In the past two weeks, an average of about 200 people received vaccination at the vaccination stations every day. After evaluation, the Government has decided to expand the scheme to enable more elderly persons to receive vaccination when they have their follow-up medical consultation at specialist out-patient clinics in hospitals."
 
     The vaccination stations operate from 10am to 7pm on weekdays except public holidays, with no lunch break. Last vaccination is at 6.30pm. Arrangements will be made for people being vaccinated to have their second dose injection at the same vaccination station or another Community Vaccination Centre. For those who opt for the Sinovac vaccine, they will be referred to a nearby Community Vaccination Centre.
