Covid-19: ‘Vaccine bubble’ to include schools from Feb 24, students exempted but urged to get jabbed


From February 24, anyone entering a school or tutorial centre – apart from students – will be required to have had at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, the Hong Kong Education Bureau (EDB) announced on Thursday.

The new measure came as the government was looking into bringing the start date of the “vaccine bubble” forward to February 4 at designated premises, which would only allow those who had received at least their first vaccine dose to enter.

The vaccine bubble in schools will apply to all staff members, service providers, and visitors to kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, and tutorial centres in the city. Exemptions will be made for certain people, including those who are unvaccinated because of health reasons.
