  • Hong Kong health authorities have publicly named over 160 schools for not organizing on-campus flu vaccinations, increasing pressure on these institutions.
  • Among the schools cited are 11 of 22 international schools run by the English Schools Foundation and various elite private institutions.
  • Health officials report the city has entered the flu season, with significant positive test rates, namely 90 percent for influenza A (H1).
  • Officials have called on the public, particularly the elderly and children, to get vaccinated, emphasizing that vaccination can prevent serious complications.
  • Education representatives argue against publicly identifying schools, stressing that participation should be voluntary and allowing for community-specific vaccination arrangements.
