On the afternoon of February 19, the Cathay Pacific flight carrying the Kexing vaccine arrived at Hong Kong International Airport.

Hong Kong will open an online appointment for vaccinations against the new crown on February 23, and will start a vaccination plan on February 26. Five groups including medical institutions, personnel participating in the fight against the epidemic, and the elderly 60 years of age or older will be given priority vaccination.

Hong Kong has so far approved two new crown vaccines for emergency use in Hong Kong. The other is the "Fobitai" vaccine from Fosun Pharma/German pharmaceutical company BioNTech. The first batch of 1 million doses is expected to arrive in Hong Kong before the end of February.
