It has been more than a year since the Hong Kong government began its COVID-19 vaccination program. The latest government data shows that as of May 15, the total number of vaccine doses administered was 16.45 million, and the Department of Health received 7,484 reports of unusual vaccination events, of which, 103 were deaths within 14 days after vaccination.
The Food and Health Bureau recently approved a HK$2 million (about $254,790) payout for a death case, the first compensation for death after COVID vaccination in Hong Kong.
