More global professional service enterprises support outreach vaccination service (with photos)
******************************************************************************************
     The Secretary for the Civil Service, Mr Patrick Nip, today (June 21) visited EY Office in Hong Kong. During the visit, he and the Managing Partner, Hong Kong and Macau, EY, Ms Agnes Chan, jointly viewed the administering of a COVID-19 vaccine to staff members of the enterprise as arranged by the Government's outreach vaccination service. Some 210 staff members of the enterprise received the BioNTech vaccine today. 

     "Employees of global professional services enterprises have frequent overseas trips for work and meetings. As the COVID-19 virus is still raging across the globe, getting vaccinated is the best way for them to protect themselves, colleagues and their family members from being infected," Mr Nip said. 

     "There are only two months left in this critical anti-epidemic juncture until the end of August. I call on various sectors to continue to encourage employees to get vaccinated as soon as possible, so as to help build an immune barrier in Hong Kong by significantly raising the vaccination rate, thereby restoring normality to society sooner rather than later." 
    
     He thanked various sectors and industries for supporting the Early Vaccination for All campaign. Should enterprises and organisations have a sufficient number of employees who would like to get vaccinated and a suitable venue with sufficient space, they can make use of the outreach vaccination service so that their employees can be vaccinated in a more convenient way. Enterprises and groups can call the hotline for the outreach vaccination service at 3904 1490 from Monday to Friday, from 9am to 6pm, for arrangements. 
  
     There has been enthusiastic support for the outreach vaccination programme since it was launched by the Civil Service Bureau (CSB). Having provided the outreach vaccination service to the Hong Kong Sports Institute, global professional services enterprises, a property developer, a financial institution and the construction industry, the CSB is now proactively in discussions with enterprises and groups from various sectors, including post-secondary institutions, public utilities and theme parks and the like on the feasibility of providing the service to them.  

     Mr Nip expressed his gratitude to the medical team and administrative support staff of the Community Vaccination Centre at Ho Man Tin Sports Centre for providing the outreach service today.
