2 Dead, 2 in ICU After 83,400 Receive Sinovac Vaccines in Hong Kong
Two Hong Kong residents are in serious condition after receiving China’s Sinovac COVID-19 vaccines, the Hong Kong government announced on Sunday, after a 55-year-old woman with chronic illness died four days after receiving her vaccine—the second related death in the city.
COVID-19 is the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus.
On Sunday, 8,100 people were vaccinated with Sinovac’s CoronaVac vaccine, which was 82.3 percent of the daily vaccination appointments, according to the city’s Health Department.
But two residents were left in serious condition after vaccination on Saturday and had to be transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU). According to local media reports, two others were sent to hospitals after suffering a milder adverse reaction to the vaccine.
