On 31 May, the Government announced the launch of the “Early Vaccination for All” campaign to further encourage Hong Kong citizens to receive COVID-19 vaccination. In Support of the Campaign, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data, Hong Kong (PCPD), is now providing “Vaccination Leave” for Staff following their COVID-19 jabs.
From 1 June 2021, to facilitate staff receiving COVID-19 vaccinations as early as possible and give recognition to those staff members who have already been vaccinated the PCPD have implemented two key measures:
- From 1 June to 31 August, all staff members of the PCPD will be entitled to one day of “vaccination leave” for each dose of vaccination received so that they can have sufficient time to take a rest after vaccination; and
- Staff members who were vaccinated on or before 31 May this year may apply for one day of authorised leave, for each dose of vaccination already received. The leave may be taken by 31 March 2022.
