Dear Staff and Students,
We would like to share the following message from Department of Health about Updated information on Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and vaccines.
Health, Safety and Environment Office
Dear Sir/Madam,
Updated information on Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and vaccines
1. Distribution of same-day tickets at Community Vaccination Centres open to all eligible persons
Starting from September 22, 21 Community Vaccination Centres (CVCs) under the COVID-19 Vaccination Programme will distribute same-day tickets to all eligible persons who want to receive a COVID-19 vaccination so that they can get vaccinated in a CVC at a designated time slot on the day of distribution.
The same-day tickets will be distributed daily from 7.45am on a first-come, first-served basis in September and October. The CVCs will be closed between 1.30pm and 2.30pm daily for cleaning and disinfection, and the last vaccination session will be held from 7pm to 7.30pm.
Starting from November, the same-day tickets will be available for distribution 15 minutes before the CVCs open, and the last vaccination session will be held an hour before they close.
For details, refer to: https://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/202109/20/P2021092000338.htm
2. Latest list of places of recognised vaccination records
From 0.00am on September 22, the Government will accept vaccination records issued by Iran as recognised vaccination records for Hong Kong residents who have stayed in Group A specified places under the mechanism. The Government will also accept the vaccination records issued by non-Group A specified places including Chile and New Zealand for boarding flights for Hong Kong by Hong Kong residents who have stayed in Group A specified places.
Meanwhile, the Government announced earlier that it accepts vaccination records recognised under the EU Digital COVID Certificate mechanism as recognised vaccination records required for the purpose of boarding flights for Hong Kong from high-risk Group A specified places. As the EU has recently announced the recognition of the vaccination records issued by Albania, Andorra, Faroe Islands, Israel, Monaco, Morocco and Panama as being equivalent to vaccination records issued by EU member states under the mechanism, the Government will therefore also accept the vaccination records issued by the aforementioned places as recognised vaccination records from 0.00am on September 22.

2. 最新認可疫苗接種紀錄地區名單
政府由9月22日凌晨零時起將認可伊朗發出的疫苗接種紀錄，作為曾於A組指明地區逗留的香港居民的認可疫苗紀錄。政府亦將接受曾逗留A組指明地區的香港居民持智利和新西蘭等目前並非A組指明地區所發出的疫苗接種紀錄登機來港。
此外，政府早前宣布接受歐盟新冠數碼通行證機制下認可的疫苗接種紀錄，作為從高風險A組指明地區登機來港所要求的認可疫苗接種紀錄。歐盟最近宣布在該機制下，認可由阿爾巴尼亞、安道爾、法羅群島、以色列、摩納哥、摩洛哥及巴拿馬發出的疫苗接種紀錄等同歐盟成員國發出的疫苗接種紀錄，因此政府亦將由9月22日凌晨零時起接受上述地區發出的疫苗接種紀錄為認可疫苗接種紀錄。
