A pharmacist says the government should compensate people who develop serious side-effects after receiving a coronavirus vaccination. William Chui, president of the Society of Hospital Pharmacists told an RTHK program that the government should also set up a database to keep track of any serious side-effects. The Secretary for Health, Sophia Chan Siu-chee, on Wednesday suggested that the government might waive the responsibility of manufacturers if the vaccines were problematic, which she said was in accordance with international practice for drugs for emergency use. She had previously said the government would hold the vaccine manufactures accountable.
