INVITATION TO INFORMATION SESSION ON COVID-19 VACCINATIONS IN HONG KONG

Introduction	:	To vaccinate or not? Is it safe? What are the benefits? What about potential risks? How will I impact family members if I do or do not? So many questions and so challenging to know which information is accurate.

We invite you to join this one-hour webinar with Professor Gabriel Leung, Dean of Medicine at the Univerisity of Hong Kong and one of Asia's most respected health leaders.

DIMA Promotion

The Government is committed to promoting digital inclusion to help groups with special needs enjoy equal opportunities in accessing and using information and communications technology to improve their daily life.

Since 2012, the Government has launched the Funding Scheme for Digital Inclusion Mobile Apps (the Scheme). Through three rounds of the Scheme, the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer has provided funding support for non-profit social service organisations to develop mobile apps that cater for the needs of underprivileged groups.

A new batch of five mobile apps has been launched early this year. These apps can better cater for the needs of the target groups, including persons with visual or hearing impairment, elders and children with learning difficulties or Down Syndrome, in terms of contents and services, thus enhancing their quality of life and learning abilities. Details of the new batch of mobile apps are as follows:

Mobile apps	Non-profit social service organisation partner
