Dear Members of the SHPHK,
As of 26 May 2021, 1,278,575 people have been vaccinated against COVID-19. This is equivalent to 19.5% of the Hong Kong population.
Comparing the Hong Kong vaccination rate with those in some of the western countries, for example, the United Kingdom and the United States of America, the vaccination rate in Hong Kong is rather low.
Vaccination has been proven effective in preventing severe COVID-19 cases, hospitalisations and death. Low vaccination rate would delay the resumption of normal activities and stall economic recovery.
If you still have not received the COVID-19 vaccination yet, we would like to take this opportunity to once again encourage you to get vaccinated as soon as possible. This not only can protect yourself, but also your family, friends, colleagues and the whole community against COVID-19.
To book your vaccination appointment now, please visit: https://www.covidvaccine.gov.hk/zh-HK/
Don’t forget to encourage your family members, friends and colleagues to get vaccinated too!
Yours Sincerely,
William C M CHUI
President of the Society of Hospital Pharmacists of Hong Kong
