- Given that the social distancing rules remain largely the same for whether one is vaccinated or not, the ‘wait and see’ approach of many residents is understandable

My family of three in Hong Kong has now been fully inoculated. The whole experience was almost without problems.
More side effects seem to be experienced by people, including ourselves, after the second dose than the first. Nevertheless, we are all glad that we are vaccinated and would certainly like to commend the staff at the Airport Centre for their friendly support and professionalism.
The question now, though, is “what next?”. We were very unlikely to contract the disease before and we are very unlikely to contract it now.
Before, we had to wear uncomfortable masks outside the house and we still have to do so.
Before, we couldn’t travel to Macau, for instance, and that is still the case.
Before, we had to adhere to social distancing rules, and now there isn’t much difference. Hence, I can understand those who wish to “wait and see”, despite the carrots that various organisations are dangling before them.
