EDB again strongly appeal to schools and parents to make full use of various measures and means provided by the government to arrange vaccination for students (https://edb.gov.hk/en/sch-admin/admin/about-sch/diseases-prevention/early-vaccination.html) so that they can get effective protection and resume their happy school life.
