Vaccine Pass

A: The Vaccine Pass is an important anti-epidemic measure. It aims to encourage more people to get vaccinated while enabling residents to safely resume normal daily life. Starting from 24 February 2022 (10 February 2022 for Type D catering business premises), all persons aged 12 or above entering or remaining on the following specified premises (Table 3A), including staff involved in the operation of the premises, are required to be vaccinated according to this schedule (Table 1) unless they are exempted (Table 2). For a person who is also subject to vaccination requirements under any directions issued pursuant to the Prevention and Control of Disease (Requirements and Directions) (Business and Premises) Regulation (Cap. 599, sub. leg. F) apart from these directions issued pursuant to the Prevention and Control of Disease (Vaccine Pass) Regulation (Chapter 599, sub. leg. L), the vaccination requirements under the relevant directions issued under the former Regulation prevail.

By administrative orders, Vaccine Pass requirements are also applicable to some other premises such as schools, universities, offices of the Government and public organisations, indoor venues managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, public hospitals, residential care homes for the elderly and residential care homes for persons with disabilities, etc. The coverage of Vaccine Pass requirements of these premises may differ.
