在中国内地疫苗丑闻曝光后，出于对内地一些家庭可能赴港接种疫苗，继而引发"疫苗荒"的担忧，香港将对公立诊所为非本地儿童接种疫苗实施限额制。

From April 1, Hong Kong's Maternal³ and Child Health Centres will only accept 120 new non-resident children a month. Non-resident children will only be able to book an appointment when there is spare capacity and will have to pay a higher fee.

自4月1日起，全港31间母婴健康院为非本地儿童接种疫苗设定的限额为每月120宗新症。只有在先满足了香港本地儿童的需求的情况下，外地儿童才能预约接种，而且收费较本地儿童更高。

"The government's policy is to accord priority to local children," Hong Kong's Assistant Director of Health for Family and Elderly Health Services, Teresa Li, said in a statement. "We will closely monitor the utilization⁴ of services by (non-resident children) and may adjust the quota⁵ or withhold⁶ new case bookings."

香港家庭和老年人健康中心助理署长李敏碧在一份声明中表示：“政府这一政策的目的在于优先保障本地儿童接受治疗的权利。我们将密切监测（对外地儿童）医疗服务的利用率，并可以适当调整配额，或者保留一些预定的名额。”

Mainland Chinese authorities said this month a mother and daughter had illegally traded nearly $90 million worth of vaccines⁷ and sold them on to hundreds of re-sellers around the country, prompting an outcry from parents and political leaders.

中国大陆当局本月表示，一对母女涉嫌非法交易近9000万美元的疫苗，并将其出售给全国各地的数百名分销商，这一事件引起了家长和政府领导人的强烈抗议。

The vaccines, which police said were made by licensed⁸ producers, were not kept refrigerated, meaning they could be ineffective.

警方表示，这些疫苗是由特许生产商生产的，没有冷藏保存，这意味着它们可能是无效的。

Hong Kong would order additional vaccine supplies if needed, another spokeswoman there said.

香港另一位女发言人表示，如果需要的话，香港方面将订购额外的供应疫苗。

The Macau government said in a statement on last Tuesday that only Macau residents were entitled to free vaccinations and government-procured routine vaccinations would not be given to visitors.

澳门政府在上周二的一则声明中也表示，只有澳门本地居民能够享有免费接种疫苗，政府采购的常规疫苗不会分发给游客。
