No malls, stores, or apartment buildings that I know of in Kunming require proof of vaccination for entrance. Quite lax these days here. The strictest protocols would be cursory glances at your green health code and the formality motions of taking your temperature.

Correction: Convidecia is another name for Ad5-nCoV COVID-19 vaccine under Cansino Biologics. So both are the same one shot jab.

@Cromson, I heard about this single-dose vaccine offered in Kunming. Did your wife get Convidecia or Cansino Biologics?

Efficacy for both one-dose vaccines seem to range in the sixties percentile. Cansino was 65.7% effective in preventing symptomatic cases of the virus and 90.1% effective in preventing severe diseases in trials outside China. Booster required after six months.

Vaccine delivery to doorstep in the future may be farfetched, but volunteers do already come to residential communities offering to whisk residents to vaccination sites or hospitals in their free shuttle transport services. True for Kunming and for other cities outside Yunnan where I own apartments so I know this for a fact. Jabs aren't mandatory, but complex security/baoan (not in Yunnan) make a big deal about vaccinations when entering premises.

Interesting stat. According to a recent SCMP piece, "200,000 of 845,000 foreigners living in the mainland have had the jab" as of early June. Slightly less than a quarter, yet much more than I'd expected based on discussions on these forum threads.

Great info lemon. Congrats again, as the 2nd dose beefs up your antibody response by multiple folds for Chinese vaccines based on above-mentioned non-domestic, clinical trial data.

So second dose after 25 days from your first, not "42 or 56 days" as previously instructed. Yunnan health ministry has been sending out SMS in recent days reminding folks to receive 2nd jab after "21 days." Probably best not to spread out after 40-50 days. Would've been the case, and understandably so, had there not been enough vaccines to go around. Vaccine supply challenges seem to be more manageable as of late.

@AlPage, hospitals receiving different instructions shouldn't come as a surprise. Long-time Kunmingers would go as far as to say front desk/cashier/pharmacists/nurses/doctors in the same clinic, let alone same hospital, may receive different instructions. As per lemon's account, PRP alone is an improvement from hospital guanxi of knowing someone from the inside, and/or being insured, in order for a foreigner over 60 to get vaccinated. Rooting for you.
