Arrangements for assisting elderly people to make COVID-19 vaccination bookings updated
***************************************************************************************
Since the launch of the COVID-19 Vaccination Programme, the Government has set up an online booking system which is available around the clock (booking.covidvaccine.gov.hk). Members of the public may choose the desired vaccines and make a reservation via the system for COVID-19 vaccination at Private Clinic COVID-19 Vaccination Stations, Children Community Vaccination Centres, designated General Outpatient Clinics under the Hospital Authority, or designated Student Health Service Centres, Maternal and Child Health Centres and EHCs under the DH.
Starting from April 2, elderly people living in the community aged 60 or above may seek assistance for making online bookings of COVID-19 vaccination at the SWD's DECCs and NECs (www.swd.gov.hk/en/pubsvc/elderly/cat_commsupp/elderly_centres/) or the HHB's DHCs and DHC Expresses (www.dhc.gov.hk/en/index.html). Apart from providing COVID-19 vaccination service for members and non-members aged 65 or above, designated EHCs (www.elderly.gov.hk/english/contactus/elderly_health_centres.html) of the DH will also provide assistance for elderly people in need to make online bookings for COVID-19 vaccines which are not provided at that EHC. The assistance at post offices for elderly people making online bookings will be maintained until end of March.
Apart from making online bookings for COVID-19 vaccination, members of the public may also call the Private Clinic COVID-19 Vaccination Stations to enquire about relevant vaccination services. The full list of the stations can be accessed at www.chp.gov.hk/files/pdf/list_pcvs_covid_eng.pdf.
For latest information about COVID-19 vaccination, please visit the website of the Centre for Health Protection of the DH (www.chp.gov.hk/en/features/106934.html).
