Hospital COVID-19 Vaccination Stations to provide Sinovac and BioNTech vaccination service from next week
***************************************************************

     Starting from next Monday (October 31), the 13 COVID-19 Vaccination Stations in public hospitals (HCVSs) will provide walk-in vaccination with the Sinovac and BioNTech vaccines.
 
     The 13 HCVSs, which used to administer the BioNTech vaccine only, will provide both the Sinovac and BioNTech vaccines concurrently for members of the public to choose for vaccination starting from next week. Persons aged between 6 months and below 12 can receive the Sinovac vaccine while those aged 12 or above can choose to receive the Sinovac vaccine or the BioNTech vaccine.
 
     The Secretary for the Civil Service, Mrs Ingrid Yeung, said the HCVSs had become a quick and convenient way for persons with follow-up medical appointments at hospitals to receive vaccination since the commencement of their operation. The provision of vaccination services for both kinds of vaccine will offer more choices for the public.
 
     The HCVSs (except for the one at Princess Margaret Hospital) operate from 10am to 7pm on weekdays except public holidays and the last vaccination is at 6.30pm. The vaccination station at Princess Margaret Hospital operates from 9am to 6pm on weekdays except public holidays. Last vaccination is at 5.30pm. All HCVSs remain open during lunch hours.
