Inoculation and Swabbing Techniques Workshops

HKUMed has been a leading partner in supporting the Government’s anti-COVID-19 efforts, providing direct services and training its students to also help with this work. Workshops on inoculation and swabbing techniques were arranged for medical and nursing students to practise relevant skills with the assistance of the School of Nursing.

At the same time, a temporary COVID-19 vaccination centre was set up on campus to provide third doses of the BioNTech vaccine for HKUMed’s students. This was visited by the then Secretary of Food and Health Bureau, Professor Sophia Chan, with the then Dean of Medicine, Professor Gabriel Leung. Professor Chia-Chin Lin, Head of the School of Nursing, also participated in the visit, which showcased our efforts to prepare students to combat the epidemic and serve the public.
