The Hong Kong SAR government said on March 4 that after considering the suggestions of experts, it decided to shorten the interval between the third dose and the second dose from six months to three months. Both Kexing vaccine and fubitai vaccine are applicable.

The SAR government said that the appointment system of the new crown vaccination plan has been upgraded, and it is hoped that the citizens of relevant groups will make an appointment for the third dose of vaccine as soon as possible. Since people aged 60 or over have a higher risk of severe illness and mortality after infection, they should give priority to vaccination.

The spokesman of the SAR government said that the current epidemic situation is grim. The elderly and school-age children are the key protection objects of vaccination. At present, community vaccination centers have been added to take care of children, adolescents and the elderly, so as to facilitate them to be vaccinated as soon as possible.
