The Society of Hospital Pharmacists of Hong Kong (SHPHK) has recently held two press conferences to raise public awareness about the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) vaccine and the Meningococcal Group B Vaccine.
On 20th May, 2024, SHPHK president Mr. So Yiu Wah and Professor Ivan Hung Fan Ngai co-hosted a press conference where they recommended that individuals aged 60 and above should receive the RSV vaccine due to the higher risk and mortality rate among the elderly. Subsequently, on 4th August, 2024, Mr. So hosted another press conference, highlighting the global rise in meningococcal cases and advising parents to vaccinate their children before traveling or studying abroad to reduce the risk of infection.
The SHPHK conducted its 37th Annual General Meeting (AGM) on July 19, 2024, at The Mira Hong Kong. Prior to the AGM, SHPHK President Mr. So Yiu Wah presented a seminar on updates in RSV vaccination.
The general committee for 2024-2025 was elected during the meeting, comprising of 15 members (in alphabetical order):
