HK Residents Rush to Get Vaccinated Ahead of Border Open

Hong Kong has reopened its borders after nearly three years, leading to a surge in demand for foreign brand mRNA vaccines, which were previously unavailable in mainland China. Non-residents can also access these vaccines, either through government channels or private routes. This reopening is expected to boost various sectors like hotels and retail, although initial economic growth may be slow due to previous business shifts to Singapore and local staff shortages. The strict COVID measures have already cost Hong Kong significant economic growth, and the reopening may not immediately resolve these issues.
