Hongkongers may get the Pfizer vaccine after the first quarter next year – it will likely be administered first in the US and Europe – says Ho Pak-Leung, above. "A great day for science and humanity," Pfizer chief executive Albert Bourla said. Ho Pak-leung, a University of Hong Kong infectious diseases expert, said: "Chances are slim for Hong Kong to use this vaccine within this year, or even the first quarter of next year." Meanwhile, Ho also urged Hong Kong authorities to work on vaccination arrangements, especially for high-risk groups. He added: "Hong Kong has the full support of our country."
