Hong Kong authorities have warned they will consider prosecuting a man who received two Covid-19 jabs locally despite being fully vaccinated elsewhere, condemning his “extremely selfish and irresponsible” behaviour.
The move followed media reports of the 30-year-old receiving the BioNTech vaccine despite having taken two Moderna shots in Singapore. The man, who works in Hong Kong, reportedly wanted to obtain a local electronic vaccination record to visit bars.
In a statement on Monday evening, the government said his actions not only posed risks to his own health, but also implicated the medical staff who inoculated him and wasted the city’s vaccine resources.

A new Hong Kong study has found that recipients of the BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine have 10 times more antibodies than those who took Sinovac, with the latter generating levels of the virus-targeting proteins that were similar or lower than the naturally occurring ones seen in recovered patients.
The findings by the University of Hong Kong, published in Lancet Microbe on Friday (July 16), could suggest the need for alternative strategies - including booster shots - to increase Sinovac recipients antibody concentrations and protection against Covid-19, according to the researchers.
The presence of antibodies is a sign of a previous infection, or that a vaccine is working to protect an individual, but the quantity of the proteins generated by the body to identify and neutralise the coronavirus does not directly correlate to the level of immunity.
