Scores of mainland Chinese travellers are rushing to Hong Kong to receive mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, which are not available on the Chinese mainland, as the country grapples with a torrent of infections which have overwhelmed its health system.

A private hospital in the special Chinese administrative region of Hong Kong welcomed the first batch of mainland customers on Thursday, just five days after China reopened its borders for the first time in three years, allowing quarantine free travel.

Yoyo Liang, a 36-year old Beijing resident, was one of the first customers at the Virtus Medical Centre where she paid HK$ 1,888 for her first BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. Liang had received three domestically developed vaccine doses from China's Sinovac over the past two years but said she took Pfizer-BioNtech's bivalent booster vaccine to better protect herself against the virus.Yoyo Liang, from mainland China, received a dose of BioNTech bivalent coronavirus disease vaccine at a private clinic in Hong Kong, China January 12, 2023.

Corona virus?! Oh jesus chris !

Why would anyone think this is a good idea? Everyone I know in HK went out their way to take an actual vaccine made from attenuated virus, rather than what amounts to experimental gene therapy.

They'll spike in myocarditis cases

There's only one China no need for Reuters to lick china's boots by saying 'mainland'.

Smart

Western Vaccines work better, China should just try to purchase them so the people are better protected.
