Scientific Committee on Vaccine Preventable Diseases and Scientific Committee on Emerging and Zoonotic Diseases
Scientific Committee on Emerging and Zoonotic Disease and Scientific Committee on Vaccine Preventable Diseases Consensus Interim Recommendations on the Use of COVID-19 Vaccines in Hong Kong (As of Jan 7, 2021) Introduction The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic causes a significant disease burden worldwide. In Hong Kong, cases and outbreaks continue to be reported. To reduce the impacts of COVID-19 on health and society, vaccines against COVID-19 is considered an important public health tool for containing the pandemic in the medium and long term. On 7 January 2021, the Scientific Committee on Emerging and Zoonotic Diseases (SCEZD), the Scientific Committee on Vaccine Preventable Diseases (SCVPD), and the Expert Advisory Panel to Chief Executive (EAP) reviewed the latest scientific evidence on the epidemiology and clinical features of COVID-19, published data on the COVID- 19 vaccines be procured by the Hong Kong SAR Government, local data as well as overseas recommendations/practices, and provides recommendations on the population groups and circumstances for the use of COVID-19 vaccines in Hong Kong. COVID-19 Vaccines 2. At the meeting held on 13 August 2020, the joint SCEZD and SCVPD together with the EAP reviewed the then scientific development of COVID 19 vaccines and prioritization of target groups for COVID 19 vaccines in Hong Kong. The meeting recommended that vaccine procurement would be aimed at the whole Hong Kong population in the long run. In anticipation of a limited supply at the early stage when vaccines are available, a phased approach has to be taken with certain priority groups of the local population identified to be vaccinated first, in order to reduce morbidity and mortality and maintain essential services.

COVID-19: China Medical Supply Chains and Broader Trade Issues Updated December 23, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R46304 SUMMARY R46304 COVID-19: China Medical Supply Chains and December 23, 2020 Broader Trade Issues Karen M. Sutter, The outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), first in China, and then Coordinator globally, including in the United States, has drawn attention to the ways in which the Specialist in Asian Trade U.S. economy depends on manufacturing and supply chains based in China. This report and Finance aims to assess current developments and identify immediate and longer range China trade issues for Congress. Andres B. Schwarzenberg Analyst in International An area of particular concern to Congress has been U.S. shortages in medical supplies— Trade and Finance including personal protective equipment (PPE) and pharmaceuticals—as the United States stepped up efforts to contain the COVID-19 pandemic with limited domestic Michael D. Sutherland stockpiles and insufficient U.S. industrial capacity. Because of China’s role as a global Analyst in International supplier of PPE, medical devices, antibiotics, and active pharmaceutical ingredients, Trade and Finance reduced exports from China led to shortages of critical medical supplies in the United States. Exacerbating the situation, in early February 2020, the Chinese government nationalized control of the production and distribution of medical supplies in China— directing all production for domestic use—and directed the bureaucracy and Chinese industry to secure supplies from the global market. Once past the initial peak of its COVID-19 outbreak, the Chinese government appears to have prioritized certain countries and selectively released some medical supplies for overseas delivery.

COVID-19 Vaccines: Summary of Current State-Of-Play Prepared Under Urgency 21 May 2020 – Updated 16 July 2020
Office of the Prime Minister’s Chief Science Advisor Kaitohutohu Mātanga Pūtaiao Matua ki te Pirimia COVID-19 vaccines: Summary of current state-of-play Prepared under urgency 21 May 2020 – updated 16 July 2020 The COVID-19 pandemic has spurred a global effort to find a vaccine to protect people from SARS- CoV-2 infection. This summary highlights selected candidates, explains the different types of vaccines being investigated and outlines some of the potential issues and risks that may arise during the clinical testing process and beyond. Key points • There are at least 22 vaccine candidates registered in clinical (human) trials, out of a total of at least 194 in various stages of active development. • It is too early to choose a particular frontrunner as we lack safety and efficacy information for these candidates. • It is difficult to predict when a vaccine will be widely available. The fastest turnaround from exploratory research to vaccine approval was previously 4–5 years (ebolavirus vaccine), although it is likely that current efforts will break this record. • There are a number of challenges associated with accelerated vaccine development, including ensuring safety, proving efficacy in a rapidly changing pandemic landscape, and scaling up manufacture. • The vaccine that is licensed first will not necessarily confer full or long-lasting protection. 1 Contents Key points .................................................................................................................................. 1 1.
