China began a mass vaccination program on Monday, with around 100,000 students in Beijing due to be given the shots initially. State media said they are the first large group of people anywhere in the world to get vaccinated.
China's Health Minister Chen Zhu, who is attending a regional meeting of the World Health Organization in Hong Kong, said public service providers and vulnerable groups in densely populated cities and travel hubs would be given priority.
"We will concentrate (our vaccination) on certain areas, the Pearl River Delta, Beijing and Shanghai because they have heavy dealings with the outside world. This disease is imported from overseas," Chen told reporters on the sidelines of the meeting.
