Citizens in the priority groups can make online bookings to receive the Comirnaty COVID-19 vaccine from March 3, the Government announced today.

They can make reservations to receive the jab during the March 10 to 30 period at seven community vaccination centres operated by the Hospital Authority.

Meanwhile, the Department of Health started distributing the first batch of the Sinovac vaccine to private doctors and clinics participating in the COVID-19 Vaccination Programme today.

These doctors and clinics are expected to start providing vaccination services to the public from tomorrow.

People can choose and make an appointment to be vaccinated directly with a private doctor or clinic under the programme, without going through the Government's online booking system. They must bring their identity document and proof of belonging to a priorty group to their vaccination appointment.

The Government called on those in the five priority groups to get vaccinated as soon as possible.
