Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam got a Chinese Covid-19 vaccine at a public event on Monday in an effort to overcome skepticism as the Asian financial hub prepares to begin its inoculation campaign.
Lam and the heads of various government departments received coronavirus shots produced by Sinovac Biotech Ltd. in Hong Kong’s main library. She urged members of the public to do the same to “help Hong Kong to resume travel and economic activity as soon as possible.”
