Flu outbreak: 168 HK schools refuse on-site vaccinations for students

Despite government efforts to promote seasonal flu vaccinations, 168 schools in Hong Kong have refused to arrange on-site vaccination programs for their students. An additional 13 schools, while agreeing to participate, have yet to confirm vaccination dates. The government has taken the unusual step of publicly listing these schools on its website, which includes several prestigious and international institutions.

Notable schools such as St. Paul's Co-educational College, Diocesan Girls' School, St. Stephen's Girls' College, Pui Ching Primary School, and DSC International School. The list includes 29 primary schools, 36 secondary schools, and 103 kindergartens.
