Update on 2015 Southern Hemisphere Seasonal Influenza Vaccination Programme

2 July 2015

The Centre for Health Protection (CHP) of the Department of Health (DH) today (July 2) announced that the stock of the 2015 Southern Hemisphere Seasonal Influenza Vaccination (SH SIV) Programme might be depleted shortly.

As of June 29, about 39 000 doses of SH SIV had been administered to eligible community-living elderly persons aged 75 or above from the Hospital Authority (HA) and the DH's designated Elderly Health Centres (EHCs), while about 46 000 had been ordered by residential care homes for the elderly for their residents, of which about 43 000 had been administered.

"As about 15 000 doses are now left for eligible community-living elderly people, it is expected that the stock might be depleted shortly. Vaccination services by the HA and the DH's EHCs will continue until all vaccines in each clinic/centre are used up and a notice will be posted accordingly to inform the public," a spokesman for the CHP said.

Eligible elderly persons and family members may visit the CHP's page for the SH SIV Programme (This link will open in a new windowwww.chp.gov.hk/en/view_content/39442.html), call the CHP's Vaccination Office (2125 2125) from 9am to 5.30pm from Monday to Friday or call the respective clinic/centre for details.
