Most vaccination centers will have an allotment of 200 tickets each, but the smaller ones like in Tung Chung and the airport, will only get 100 tickets.


The elderly can send someone to pick up their pass on their behalf so they will not have to queue up. After vaccination, they will be told when they can have their second jab.

The government plans to extend the benefit to those aged 60 and above later.
