The Government announced today that from September 29, it will accept jab records issued by Brazil or Russia as recognised vaccination records for Hong Kong residents returning from Group A specified places.

Hong Kong residents holding vaccination records issued by the relevant authorities of the two countries in the prescribed formats can board a flight for Hong Kong from Group A specified places. The vaccines administered to the travellers must be those recognised by the Government.

From August 20, the Government has implemented stringent inbound prevention and control measures for travellers from overseas places. Those who have stayed in Group A specified places on the day of boarding or 21 days before that day can only board a flight for Hong Kong if they are Hong Kong residents who are fully vaccinated and holding recognised vaccination records.
