Pfizer COVID vaccines are here!


Minister of Foreign and CARICOM Affairs, Senator Dr Amery Browne, has confirmed the arrival 305,270 doses of WHO approved Pfizer vaccines from the US Government.

Minister Browne posted in social media that a DHL flight arrived with the shots at Piarco Airport at 7:58am today.

On Wednesday, the United States Government announced the donation of 305,370 doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine—out of a total 907,920—to be donated to the people and government of Trinidad and Tobago.

“The nearly 908,000 doses the United States has committed to donating to Trinidad and Tobago will constitute 77 percent of all vaccines donated to Trinidad and Tobago since deliveries started in February,” the US Embassy said in an official statement.

The statement also notes that the Pfizer vaccine is the only vaccine approved for use in children as young as 12 years old.

On Wednesday 11 August 2021, some 33,600 AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines, via the COVAX Facility, arrived in Trinidad and Tobago.

The vaccines were the third tranche of AstraZeneca vaccines provided to the country through the COVAX Facility. The first arrived on March 31, while the second tranche arrived on May 10.

Yesterday’s shipment from COVAX means an additional 16,800 persons would be fully vaccinated from this third tranche. It also comes after 82,030 AstraZeneca vaccines were donated to this country by Canada, which arrived last Thursday.

hmmm, seeing online saying you can mix the phyzer with sinopharm about 6 months after the second dose of sino?

[K74T]

Pfizer vaccines arrival earlier this morning

[Dizzy28]

That boast China made for their 100,000 vaccine donation has aged poorly!!

[redmanjp]

so we should have at least 60k Pfizer doses extra which means 30000 adults could get that. at least, cuz not every parent want their child vaxxed (unless they make it mandatory to go to school). so it could be a lot more available.

that is the only one my 70+ yr old dad might take. question is how soon they will expand it to adults

Those are some pretty adverse side effects.

You are aware that the possibility exists that a person who has extreme reactions as those could have had the COVID virus in his/her system and the vaccine has triggered the immune response to the virus.

I had 24 hours of fever and chills after my first AZ vaccy. Once subsided, I felt pretty tired for a few days afterwards.

I got my second shot last week and felt great the day after.

Hope the GF feels better and do see her doctor if the side effects don't subside by tomorrow.

my gf went yesterday morning to get her first dose of AZ vaccinate.
last night went to check her, she sicker than a newborn puppy with parvo. fever, vomiting, body aches, cold sweat, loss of appetite, & the usual loss of taste & smell.
Went to check her this a.m., she couldn't even get up to see about the kids, thank God one big enough to handle at least some small scenes like making stuff to eat & cleaning up after themselves.right now is level panadol, coconut water & electrolytes, with the occasional small bite of a sandwich, which may or may not stay down.

We agreed that if by tomorrow morning she don't start improving she going to the dr early o'clock.

Should have gone to check for covid antibodies and general doc checkup to see if they can take the vacc.

Said noone ever

Expect to see children younger than 12 to be cleared for vaccination by the WHO in the next few months.

"Pfizer expects data on kids ages 5 through 11 in September, with data on toddlers up to age 4 soon after. Moderna's timeline for data on children is likely later this fall or early winter."

Moderna superior to pfizer with delta variant

https://news.yahoo.com/moderna-may-superior-pfizer-against-204309306.html

Moderna's vaccine may be best against Delta

The mRNA vaccine from Pfizer and BioNTech may be less effective than Moderna's against the Delta variant of the coronavirus, according to two reports posted on medRxiv on Sunday ahead of peer review. In a study of more than 50,000 patients in the Mayo Clinic Health System https://bit.ly/37Btmhf, researchers found the effectiveness of Moderna's vaccine against infection had dropped to 76% in July - when the Delta variant was predominant - from 86% in early 2021. Over the same period, the effectiveness of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine had fallen to 42% from 76%, researchers said. While both vaccines remain effective at preventing COVID hospitalization, a Moderna booster shot may be necessary soon for anyone who got the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines earlier this year, said Dr. Venky Soundararajan of Massachusetts data analytics company nference, who led the Mayo study.

that still gives us time to distribute the 60k extra from this first tranch. the 5-11 yr olds would benefit from the next set.

[Strugglerzinc]

Look how the rush for AZ this week going to ease up as everyone going to wait for the inevitable availability of Pfizer.

So about 90k secondary school students plus first year university students.

Tens of thousands of school children are in line to get a Pfizer vaccine against Covid-19 from as early as Monday.

Parents and school officials will be given details on the rollout of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for secondary school pupils over the age of 12 today, Education Minister Dr Nyan Gadsby-Dolly confirmed yesterday afternoon.

“We are working with the Ministry of Health and the target is to begin on Monday,” she told the Express via WhatsApp. Gadsby-Dolly said there are approximately 81,000 pupils in the public secondary school system and approximately 10,000 in private secondary schools in Trinidad and Tobago. A donation of 305,370 doses of the World Health Organisation (WHO)-approved Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine arrived in Trinidad and Tobago from the United States at 7.50 a.m. yesterday. Speaking from Piarco International Airport, Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh reiterated that the Pfizer vaccines will be designated for the specific age group of 12 to 18-year-olds.

He said: “These Pfizer vaccines will be used almost exclusively for our 12-to-18 cohort, that is secondary school and some in first year university because it is the only one that we have for that age cohort. “I’ve been having ongoing conversations with my colleague, Minister Nyan Gadsby-Dolly. (Yesterday) there was a technical meeting between Health and Education (ministries). If all goes well, we want to start administering these vaccines early next week once the Ministry of Education gives us the go-ahead but we do have to pre-plan,” he added.

Earlier yesterday, Gadsby-Dolly told the Express the ministry was “heartened by any measure of protection that can be offered to our children against Covid-19. Educational continuity is paramount and though online teaching is the best arrangement that can be offered when physical school is not available, it is globally acknowledged that it cannot replace the face-to-face interaction that our young people so desperately need.”

Gadsby-Dolly said in a phone interview: “We have been tracking the many countries that have been able to restart physical school, even in the presence of the Delta variant, and a critical layer of protection has been the vaccination of children 12 and over along with high rates of vaccine uptake in the adult population. We are happy that our children in Trinidad and Tobago now join the adults in having access to this opportunity.”

Also speaking at the airport yesterday, executive director of the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) Dr Joy St John said “the timing of the arrival of the vaccines in the 15 Caricom countries is almost perfect so we are very pleased that the US government extended this welcomed gesture to the Caricom region...” The donation of Pfizer vaccines to arrive in the country was the first batch of almost 908,000 doses to come from the United States.

Moderators this subject deserves SPECIAL attention since pregnant mothers are being marginalized .

SAVE OUR MOTHERS AND BABIES !!!

Use Pfizer for pregnant women


" ..The appeal has come from three gynaecologists—Dr Karen Sohan, Dr Sherene Kalloo and Dr Lackram Bodoe, who said vaccination of pregnant women will protect both mother and baby .. "


" the Pfizer vaccine has an international stamp of approval for use in pregnancy by The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and the Society for Maternal Foetal Medicine "
