Vaccines in Children's Immunization Program: Hong Kong's Children's Immunization Program covers many common childhood diseases, including diphtheria, whooping cough, mumps, hepatitis B and so on. These vaccines are designed to protect children from these infectious diseases and will be provided to children free of charge if they meet the conditions.
2. Influenza Vaccination: Every autumn, the Hong Kong government organizes a free influenza vaccination campaign to help people vulnerable to influenza in society prevent infection. This program usually includes the elderly over 65 years old, people with chronic diseases or specific medical conditions, and medical workers.
3. Coronavirus Pneumonia-19 Vaccine: In response to coronavirus pneumonia caused by novel coronavirus-19, the government launched a large-scale free vaccination program. The plan is implemented in stages, and different groups of people are vaccinated in priority order. At present, residents of all ages can get free coronavirus pneumonia-19 vaccine by appointment.
In addition to these free vaccines, Hong Kong also provides other kinds of vaccines for the public to choose from, which need to be purchased at their own expense. For example, vaccines prevent rabies, Japanese encephalitis and pneumococcal infections. If necessary, residents can consult relevant doctors or go to private clinics for more information and decide whether to vaccinate these non-free vaccines.
To sum up, Hong Kong provides free vaccines to prevent common diseases, influenza and coronavirus pneumonia in children-19. This policy aims to protect the health of residents and reduce the spread of infectious diseases. If you need other types of vaccines, you may need to buy them at your own expense or consult a private clinic. In any case, vaccination is an important measure to protect the health of individuals and communities, and we should actively participate in it.
