This is especially the case for families with young children. In our latest Podcast Dr David Owens sat down with Professor Ben Cowling. They discussed the Hong Kong public health strategy in comparison to that used in other countries. They also discussed the increasing evidence of effectiveness for COVID vaccines and the challenges of vaccine hesitancy in Hong Kong.
