ALL vaccination sites in Shenzhen will begin functioning on an appointment-based COVID-19 vaccination system for all citizens, starting tomorrow. On-arrival appointments or no-appointment vaccinations will no longer be accepted, according to the municipal health commission.
Individuals can make reservations through WeChat at the accounts szwjwwx (深圳卫健委), szcdcepi (深圳疾控), and jkshenzhen (健康深圳) or through the WeChat miniprogram called shekangtong (社康通), while Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan compatriots and foreigners can make their appointments via the WeChat account jkshenzhen (健康深圳).
The appointment time and vaccination site can be changed, if necessary, after an appointment is successfully made.
The commission has confirmed that, at present, the supply of COVID-19 vaccines in Shenzhen is on a stable upward trend, and so it is expected to meet the needs of the public.
Citizens are advised not to panic, make an appointment online, arrange time reasonably and get the jab at staggered work hours, while maintaining basic personal protection behaviors.
In accordance with national and provincial arrangements for COVID-19 vaccination, before June 9, Shenzhen will mainly administer the first of the two doses of the vaccination while still serving people who must take the second dose.
From June 10 to 30, efforts to vaccinate the public will mainly center on administering the second dose of the vaccination to people who have received the first one during the previous stage, and on serving people who have not received the first dose due to special reasons.
Starting from the beginning of July, the city will continue to carry out first and second-dose inoculations for citizens and will work to continue increasing the vaccination rate. (Shenzhen Daily)
