On April 14, Jinhua launched a new service on its public WeChat account: any foreigners living or working in Jinhua can schedule an appointment for a COVID-19 vaccine on WeChat. The person must first follow the official WeChat account of Jinhua, “iJinhua” (ID: iJinhua365), then click “Service” to make an appointment by submitting related information. After the appointment is confirmed, the government will inform him of the specific vaccination time and location by text message or phone call. Foreigners must bring their passports and a valid residence permit to the designated place at the specified time and follow the procedure for vaccination. Appointments for the COVID-19 vaccine for foreigners in Jinhua began on April 8. So far, about 1,000 foreigners have made appointments. For those who participate in Jinhua Social Security, the vaccination is free of charge; for those who do not have Jinhua Social Security, the cost of vaccination is 100 RMB per dose. The newly launched service on the official WeChat account provides a convenient channel for foreigners to make appointments online. (By Jiang Xinyi, translated by Li Ziyi, edited by Kendra Fiddler)
