A total of about 103,800 people in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) have received the first dose of COVID-19 vaccine, including 101,700 who received the Sinovac vaccine, HKSAR said in a statement late Monday.

HKSAR started its voluntary vaccination program on February 26. The inoculation was rolled out first to high-risk groups, including healthcare staff, workers in nursing and disability care homes, and people over the age of 60.
