Civil service minister Patrick Nip Tak-kuen, who oversees the city’s Covid-19 vaccination campaign, said that seniors who had received their third dose at least three months ago could start walking into community vaccination centres and inoculation stations at public hospitals to get their fourth doses from Friday, with no need to book ahead.
Nip also announced that the government would begin providing at-home vaccination with the Chinese-made Sinovac jabs for everyone aged 70 and up by the end of this month. An online platform will be set up to allow them to register for the service. Nip noted that over the past week, only about 34,000 vaccine doses had been administered each day – a fraction of the city’s maximum capacity of some 100,000.
A joint scientific committee under the Centre for Health Protection had issued recommendations on Thursday saying people aged 60 or older should get a fourth Covid-19 vaccine dose at least three months after their last one for better protection.
