Hong Kong Hpv vaccine is out of stock

In the CCTV report, a Ms. Han said.

"I had my first shot in Hong Kong at the beginning of April this year, and now it suddenly says that it is suspended there, so I don't know if I can go for the next two shots as scheduled. Because we all contacted the clinic through an intermediary, the clinic is now unreachable. hpv疫苗香港 The key is that after they break the contract, we waste time, money and most of all, we are afraid that the protective effect of the vaccine will be affected."

Vaccine prices soar as agencies sit on the sidelines

In fact, demand for the HPV vaccine is surging in recent years as people become more aware of its popularity, while prices are also rising. Southern Metropolis Daily reported that Ms. Liu, who went to Hong Kong for the first shot in April 2015, told reporters that the price of three shots of the nine-valent HPV vaccine at that time was 2,700 Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to a price of about 2,100 yuan; while Ms. Wu, who only played the first shot in June 2016, the price of three shots in total had reached 4,000 Hong Kong dollars (equivalent to 3,227 yuan). And the price of the vaccine immediately shot up to RMB 8,000 or even RMB 10,000 after the recent break in supply, doubling the price again.

As a result, some consumers have questioned the clinics using the out-of-stock vaccine as a pretext to force previous appointees to return the vaccine and sell their transferred "single shots" at a high price for profiteering.

The China Consumer News reporter saw a screenshot of a WeChat message from "Mingle Overseas Medical" showing that the clinic said: "If you can't get the shot on May 19, you can reschedule it, according to the 0-8-11 cycle. Or refund the cost of a shot, the second shot outside the single shot. Single shot of 3,500 Hong Kong dollars, need to make up the difference.

Heng Hui Clinic also said that you can book a single shot, "booking instructions" show: prepayment of $600, after the hospital to pay the final payment of $3000 HKD (about $2400), the total cost of $3000 / needle, the final payment supports Hong Kong dollars and credit card.

A consumer complained to the Hong Kong Consumer Council and received the response, "Generally speaking, the company receives complaint cases from the Council and will contact the consumer directly to resolve the problem or provide options for consideration."

Qiu Baochang, president of the E-Commerce Rule of Law Research Association of the Beijing Law Society, said

If a consumer is docked and connected by a mainland intermediary to Hong Kong for vaccination, the intermediary will be held responsible for any breach of contract. Consumers can negotiate with the intermediary, and if they fail to do so, they can file a complaint, or file a lawsuit, or apply for arbitration at the arbitration institution agreed upon in the contract.

If the consumer enters into a contract with a Hong Kong medical institution, he or she can apply for arbitration at the arbitration institution in the territory agreed upon in the contract or file a lawsuit at the court with jurisdiction agreed upon by both parties.

If there is no agreement between the consumer and the medical institution in Hong Kong, the consumer can only file a lawsuit in Hong Kong on his own.

The first vaccination in the Mainland was given in Boao at RMB 1,318 for one shot

A slight consolation for consumers is that the procurement of the nine-valent HPV vaccine for the mainland is already on its way in order to allow consumers to enjoy this service earlier.

According to CCTV, on May 10, the Public Resources Transaction Service Center of Hainan Province announced in its public resources trading platform that the negotiated price for both specifications of the nine-valent cervical cancer vaccine was 1,298 yuan per shot, higher than the price of about 1,200 yuan per shot in Hong Kong. In this regard, the relevant personnel of a Chongqing Biological Products Co Ltd, which won the bid, said that the actual cost of the vaccine may also rise after the winning price is determined, and that the prices are similar worldwide.
