Starting January 14, the public can make reservations to receive free BioNTech vaccination at the community vaccination centres (CVCs) located at the Education Bureau Kowloon Tong Education Services Centre and Kowloon Bay Sports Centre, the Government announced.

The two centres will provide vaccination services from January 21.

The Government said it decided to advance the date for reservation, which was announced earlier for the two centres, to enable the public to make early arrangements for their vaccination reservations.

It once again appealed to people who have yet to receive the jab to get vaccinated as soon as possible and stressed that those eligible should receive their third dose on time to protect themselves.

People aged 60 or above can go to community vaccination centres, except those located at private hospitals, to get same-day tickets.

The same-day tickets are distributed daily from 7.45am on a first come, first served basis. Accompanying people will not be allowed to receive vaccination together and separate vaccination appointments are required.

Apart from CVCs, people can also receive free COVID-19 vaccination through general out-patient clinics under the Hospital Authority, Hospital COVID-19 Vaccination Stations, Elderly Health Centres under the Department of Health, private doctors or clinics, private healthcare institutions enrolled in the BioNTech Vaccination Pilot Scheme and mobile vaccination stations.
