Covid-19 vaccination

Sinovac, BioNTech and BioNTech Bivalent vaccine

Vaccination outreach programme

To fight against the pandemic, Asia Medical Specialists began to engage in community outreach services as early as March 2022. We are honoured to participate in the "Home Vaccination Service" launched by the Hong Kong government, in which over 55 000 vaccine doses have been administered to elderly persons aged 70 or above and persons who have difficulties going out for vaccination due to illness or disability across the territory.

Private Clinic Covid-19 Vaccination Station

Our clinic has also become one of the first batches of 15 designated private clinic Covid-19 vaccination stations in September, providing Sinovac and BioNTech COVID-19 vaccination services for Hong Kong residents. Until December 2022, the clinic has vaccinated over 10,000 people with the Covid-19 vaccine.

 Bivalent Covid-19 vaccination for non-local residents

Since Hong Kong and the Mainland have started to reopen the border, and the government has approved extending the vaccination service to non-local residents, our clinic is now providing BioNTech bivalent vaccination services for non-local residents.

About BioNTech Bivalent vaccine

What is the bivalent vaccine? 

The bivalent vaccine is a vaccine booster developed by BioNTech for Omicron mutant virus strains BA.4 and BA.5. Bivalent means that the vaccine contains two antigens, one for the original Covid-19 virus and the other for the mutant virus strain BA.4 to 5. According to the clinical data provided by BioNTech, after being vaccinated with the bivalent vaccine, antibodies against Omicron mutant strain BA4 to 5 increased by 13.2 times compared with that before the injection.

What are the side effects of the bivalent vaccine? 

Like all vaccines, the BioNTech bivalent vaccine may cause side effects, but not all people will experience side effects. The side effects that the bivalent vaccine may cause are similar to those of ordinary BioNTech vaccine and generally include pain at the injection site, swelling, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, etc.
