Having studied clinical trial data from around the world, Health Bureau launches drive for over-18s who have had both jabs at least six months ago.
Medical staff await the findings of international studies before launching roll-out; new contact tracing function on Macao Health Code ready soon.
Almost all 30- and 40-somethings have had either one or both jabs; SSM will focus on senior citizens who are still shirking their inoculations.
Over-60s can get inoculated with same vaccine if they face increased risk; all results from Sunday’s NAT drive reported negative.
Rolling system allows people who booked jabs during citywide test to keep same timeslot; 10,000 appointments available every day.
Vaccination facility now provides both BioNTech and Sinopharm inoculations; 10,000 slots available every day in Macao.
No appointment necessary for over-60s at all 18 vaccination points; health workers will assess outpatients and inoculate them if they agree.
Little by little, the vaccination campaign is making headway towards government target of herd immunity.
