A Government spokesman today (March 2) reminded people belonging to the five priority groups that they can make reservations through the online booking system on the designated website of the COVID-19 Vaccination Programme (www.covidvaccine.gov.hk）starting from 9am tomorrow (March 3), for receiving the Comirnaty vaccine at the seven Community Vaccination Centres (CVCs, list at Annex 1) operated by the Hospital Authority (HA) for the period from March 10 to 30.

     Under the COVID-19 Vaccination Programme officially launched on February 26, people in the five priority groups who wish to receive the Sinovac vaccine can make an online booking for the vaccination at eight CVCs (list at Annex 2) and the 18 general out-patient clinics of the HA for the period until March 28. 

     Members of the public can also choose and make an appointment for receiving the Sinovac vaccine directly with a private doctor or clinic under the programme, without going through the Government online booking system. The list of participating private doctors and clinics that have made vaccine orders has been uploaded to the designated website of the programme. 

     Members of the public can search information about the vaccination venues including CVCs, general out-patient clinics of the HA, private doctors and clinics participating in the programme through the Interactive Map Dashboard of COVID-19 and the GeoInfo Map on the designated website (www.covidvaccine.gov.hk). This information will be updated in a timely manner.   

     "Vaccinations will protect ourselves and others, and reduce the chance of an outbreak of the epidemic in the community. We call on people in the five priority groups to get vaccinated as soon as possible so that Hong Kong's economy and people's lives can return to normal as soon as possible," the spokesman said.
