HONG KONG -- Over 400 people got vaccinated against measles Monday at vaccination stations set up at the Hong Kong International Airport to prevent the spread of measles infection, according to Hong Kong's Center for Health Protection (CHP).From Jan 1 to March 24, 2019, 20 measles cases have been registered in Hong Kong, a spokesperson of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government's Health Department told Xinhua on Monday.This number is higher than the annual totals of the past few years.Out of the 20 cases, at least nine have been categorized as imported cases and several recent cases concern people working at the Hong Kong International Airport.The CHP held a health talk on Friday at the airport to deliver measles-related health advice, and set up a vaccination station on Saturday at the airport to provide measles vaccination to non-immune people working there."This mop-up measles vaccination exercise aims to protect those non-immune to measles. For those who was born before 1967 in Hong Kong, it is expected that they have contracted measles in the past and thus have antibodies against measles. Separately, those who have received two doses of measles-containing vaccine will also be protected against measles," a CHP spokesman explained.The vaccination services were enhanced on Monday. According to the CHP, another vaccination station has been set up at the airport, and on Monday alone 484 people received measles vaccination at the stations. cool things to do with rubber braceletsblue silicone wristbandsbuy wristbands near mecreate wristbands onlinecool rubber bracelets
BEIJING -- The Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Atmospheric Physics and Laoting County have reached an agreement to build an atmosphere and marine research station and an industrial base in this north China county.The current limited shore-based and island weather stations, floating stations, merchant ship weather report and aviation monitoring report cannot satisfy the scientific research demand, according to a report on the China Science Daily. Thus the offshore observation platform is needed to conduct continuous ocean meteorological observation covering long distances with high endurance under severe meteorological conditions.The station will have a shore-based remote observation and control center, while the industrial base will have assembly lines of unmanned ships and drones.At the industrial base, an unmanned smart technical team will conduct marine weather and hazard research.Laoting County has over 100 km of coastline, 25 percent of the total coastline length of Hebei Province.
