The Government Vaccination Programme 2014-15 campaign will start on November 3 to promote seasonal influenza vaccination.
Briefing reporters on the campaign today, Centre for Health Protection Controller Dr Leung Ting-hung said free influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations will be provided for eligible groups via public clinics and hospitals.
The Government's vaccination subsidy schemes for childhood and elderly influenza shots will see children aged six months to less than six years old, and people aged 65 years or more, receive subsidised vaccinations from doctors enrolled in the Government's Vaccination Subsidy Schemes, from October 6.
The subsidy in the coming year will rise to $160.
