SCS appeals to public to receive COVID-19 vaccination early (with photos)
*************************************************************************
     The Secretary for the Civil Service, Mr Patrick Nip, visited the Community Vaccination Centre (CVC) at the Education Bureau Kowloon Tong Education Services Centre today (February 3) to inspect the first-day operation of the CVC in the Year of the Tiger and to learn more about the views of persons who received vaccination there. He also expressed gratitude to the medical and administrative support staff there for their dedicated efforts to serve the public.
      
     "Twelve CVCs are open in advance to provide vaccination services to the public on the third day of the Lunar New Year and more vaccination venues will resume operation tomorrow (February 4). I hope that members of the public can grasp and treasure the opportunity and get vaccinated," Mr Nip said.
      
     "Recently, there are cases that tested positive for COVID-19 with an unknown source of infection in some districts. Regardless of the districts people reside in, vaccination is the best way for them to protect themselves. Early vaccination means early protection. The Lunar New Year period is also an opportune time for vaccination."
      
     Mr Nip appealed to members of the public who have yet to receive vaccination to get vaccinated as early as possible for self-protection. He also urged the public to make vaccination appointments for the elderly in their families as soon as possible. To assist the elderly in receiving COVID-19 vaccination, elderly persons aged 60 or above are accorded the same-day ticket service at CVCs (except for the CVCs located at private hospitals) so that they can receive vaccination on the day they collect the tickets.
      
     The designated website for the COVID-19 Vaccination Programme (www.covidvaccine.gov.hk/en/programme) provides the latest information including details on vaccination venues, reservation and enquiry hotlines.
