          Also never disclose if these 2000 people with severe adverse reactions after 1st dose, had any preconditions like drug allergies etc. or are they healthy individuals.

          So, I am quite surprised that those with drug allergies, cancer patients etc. are now allowed to take P and M vaccines. Hopefully not because we are rushing to hit the National vaccination target.

          After I read the article from MOH website, I told my friend, if can wait then wait till end of this year as HSA is going to play safe by vigorously assessing Sinovac, which is even better! Before end of this year, it could be included under the National Vaccination program.

            Sinovac is listed on Nasdaq, unlike CanSino, SinoPharm, Anhui Zhifei Longcom, and other experimental local vaccines that the mainlanders are jabbed with, which are listed on bourses in Greater China. As such, I suppose there's pressure to keep up with western rivals to retain its market share, so they have to lower the age band to seize the market in ''developing jurisdictions'' asap, before USA's 80 mil donations reach them. Singapore's among the many ''developed jurisdictions'' per MOH's statement dated 4 Jun.

            Kinda worried for my HK contacts with pre-school-primary school kids.

            They will be revealing their rollout plans for 12-15 yos tomorrow I think. Waiting to see if Sophia Chan's expert team also include Sinovac as a must-take for those rebellious students as well as very young ones.

            Most importantly, will the HK Govt impose this as an ATB or vaccine passport criterion for their minor residents to leave the territory?

              Should be mainly above 45 yo.


              MOH released some vital figures on late Sat night.

              They did a quick update on 652 community cases wef 28 April 2021. Among these cases, 71.9% were unvaccinated vs 18.9% vaccinated (ooh my earlier <20% guestimation's quite accurate!).

              Of the 123 FULLY vaccinated(incl. 2-week-wait), 99.2% had no or mild symptoms. Only 1 required O2 support.

              Among the 469 unvaccinated cases, 30 required O2 support, 6 in ICU, 3 deaths. They made up 8.3% of total cases studied.

              Among the 60 cases with D1 & those D2 with < 2-week-wait, 91.7% had no or mild symptoms. 6.7% or 4 persons required O2 support and only 1 was in ICU.

              In a nutshell, only 1 person or 0.8% among the vaccinated group required O2 support, while 8.3% among the unvaccinated group were cases that required O2 support, in ICU or died.

                    Too bad we have a lot of South Asians. But thank God our approved vaccines are quite effective against delta, the sneaky, notti, spiky little prick! :pokeeye:

                    The variant that CoronaVac was testing/fighting against in Serrana was P1 (gamma), not B.1617.2 (delta). Delta variant we see here is apparently more transmissible than gamma. It has reached a new high of 81.5% in the past 4 weeks in Singapore (No 1 per Gisaid ranking). So we can't compare apples with oranges.

                    Indonesia, which also uses CoronaVac, had reported 3 strains - alpha, beta & delta in early May. To date, they only have 32 delta cases (0.0x% per Gisaid record) vs SG's 358 cases (81.5%).

                    To be fair, we may have to watch Guangzhou closely. However, GZ's sample size's too small. Just 17 delta cases had been found, quarantined or blocked at the borders, so it's hard to see the real efficacy of whatever the Guangzhou residents were jabbed with.
                    Both Bahrain & UAE are going to mix 2-dose traditional vaccines with 3rd mRNA booster shots for their less protected residents against new mutants.

                      ...Are we there yet? What happens if the U.S. can't reach herd immunity. 05 June 2021


                      ...Herd immunity is often seen as the end game of the COVID-19 pandemic. This threshold is reached when the virus cannot easily spread because most people have built up immunity through vaccination or natural infection...
                      Experts estimate that we’ll reach herd immunity for COVID-19 when 65 to 80 percent of the population is vaccinated...
                      Amid a swirl of misinformation, distribution issues, and legitimate hesitancy, as of June 3, only 51 percent of Americans have received at least one shot, and just 41 percent are fully vaccinated...
                      In December, White House advisor Anthony Fauci even suggested herd immunity might require vaccinating up to 90 percent of the population...
