Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine shipment arrives in HKG

A plane carrying Pfizer vaccines arrived in Hong Kong on Saturday before being packed into vehicles for delivery.

Hong Kong has struck deals to buy 22.5 million doses of vaccines from Sinovac, AstraZeneca and Fosun Pharma, which will deliver the shots developed by Pfizer-BioNTech.

People aged 60 and older and health care workers are among some 2.4 million people prioritized to receive vaccines at community centers and outpatient clinics across Hong Kong.

The government said Friday registrations for the first two weeks of the program are full.
