China may be developing a booster shot for people who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 with the arguably less effective jabs of Sinopharm and Sinovac.

China’s Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical (Fosun Pharma) has partnered with BioNTech to develop an mRNA booster vaccine. The shot is now in the administrative review stage following an expert panel review conducted by Chinese drug regulators, Caixin Global reported.

The booster, which is expected to have the brand name Comirnaty, may begin domestic trial production by the end of August and could be offered for free to people who have received the Sinopharm and Sinovac shots.

Health experts said the development of the booster shot could be seen as a blow to the Chinese government which has been touting the effectiveness of its vaccines.

“I think scientists in China also realized the fact of low antibody [levels] in the serum of Sinovac or Sinopharm vaccines. Therefore, they may suggest the Chinese government has another shot as a booster," Shih Shin-ru, director of the Research Center for Emerging Viral Infections, told VOA Mandarin.

Talks about a booster vaccine in China come after a Hong Kong study published in The Lancet on July 15 found that the COVID-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer-BioNTech gave recipients 10 times more antibody levels than the Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine.

Researchers said antibody levels in 63 participants who received the Pfizer shot “rose substantially after the first dose and then rose again after the second dose of vaccination.” In comparison, antibody levels for the 30 healthcare workers who received the Sinovac jab “had low antibody concentrations… after the first dose, rising to moderate concentrations after the second dose,” the study found.

In another study published on medRxiv Monday, researchers found that the Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine had a weaker antibody response against the more contagious Delta variant.


According to the scientists, the antibody levels in people who were administered the Sinopharm shot showed a 1.38-fold reduction to the Delta variant compared to the original strain of COVID-19. The study also found that the shot showed a 10-fold decrease in antibody levels in people who developed the Beta variant.

Cdc withdrawal of RT-PCR testing for fda approval

that's not quite the article tho. They are saying that from next year they want labs to move to broader panels that will check for influenza as well.

Thanks for the clarification

[Mmoney607]

So when we going to give out pzifer boosters?

So when we going to give out pzifer boosters?

We first have to use up all those Sinopharm

[Dohplaydat]

Do we even have any more AZ other than the limited covax supplies coming in soon?

[redmanjp]

sigh. seeing messages about 341 'vaccine deaths' being spread on WhatsApp. saying the spike happened when vaccines started rolling out keep having to tell ppl on the chat that the gamma variant also came in around that time.

so we going to have an mrna Sinopharm vax soon

Dr Trotman actually said that. She mis-spoke (she meant they recorded 341 deaths since they started documenting the vaccine status of the deceased). This wasn't corrected or acknowledged until weeks later when Dr. Hinds was asked about it at a press conference. But by that time, the die was cast and the video was shared on social media and by influencers and here we are.

[Dizzy28]

Do we even have any more AZ other than the limited covax supplies coming in soon?

I would hope so........I am two months in from my AZ Shot#1 next week.

I saw the the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) advise that the sweet spot for the second AZ is 12 weeks after the first. At this time the AZ and Pfizer are the only vaccines approved for use in Australia and they have comprehensive datasets.

Uh vaccines world wide have been correlated with much lower death rates....but yea Trinidad is the exception because apparently our vaccines killing us. nothing to do the P1 gamma variant at all.

High 90 percent of deaths is among unvaccinated

Just take the vaccine

This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated

And remember once you get covid it's to late to vaccinate

You healthy now go get vaccinated!

So when we going to give out pzifer boosters?

We first have to use up all those Sinopharm

We can't be proactive?

NOPE!

The Sinopharm had me a bit sleepy today bit that was about it.

[aaron17]

Yea I can't...when ur significant other oppose.. what you want me to do?

[hover11]

So we taking sinopharm, pfizer, mrna in our bodies not caring about the chemical components that mixing up there and going fully against what the CDC said about mixing vaccines.....nice

[paid_influencer]

^just as an aside, hover11 is right. Both the WHO and CDC are against mixing vaccines, with the only exception being AZ-->Pfizer.

The T&T govt doh even recognize people with the Pfizer/Moderna combo. Apparently them folks having issues with TTravel Pass blocking them for being 'unvaxxed'.

[redmanjp]

so basically EUA requires safety & efficacy alone, Full Approval in addition to those 2 things, requires data on how long immunity will last

[PariaMan]

so basically EUA requires safety & efficacy alone, Full Approval i addition to those 2 things, requires data on how long immunity will last

So basically anti vaxxers have no reason to not vaccinate

[hover11]

Sure once someone willing to stand liability I have no problem taking the vaccine

so basically EUA requires safety & efficacy alone, Full Approval i addition to those 2 things, requires data on how long immunity will last

[PariaMan]

Who took liability for your small poc and measles vaccine ?

There have been cases of these vaccines having bad side effects or this liability thing is only for covid

[PariaMan]

Reactions to yellow fever vaccine are generally mild and include headaches, muscle aches, and low-grade fevers. Rarely, people develop severe, sometimes life-threatening reactions to the yellow fever vaccine, including: Allergic reaction, including difficulty breathing or swallowing (anaphylaxis)

You think the makers of this takes any liability ?

[hover11]

That was before if anything happens to your child from taking small pox measles mumps vaccines trust me you will be entitled to compensation....if you are a reputable business then you should be able to stand by your product

Who took liability for your small poc and measles vaccine ?

There have been cases of these vaccines having bad side effects or this liability thing is only for covid

delta variant coming here. doh waste time reading news article. it already in miami and the borders open

above graphic the CDC ("ACIP COVID-19 Vaccines in Adults: Benefit-Risk Discussion" for July 22nd)

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/meeti ... um-508.pdf

^this is generally a good link to read too. compares the J&J vaxx vs mRNA vaxx risks/benefits across different age groups and genders.

[PariaMan]

Most if not all vaccines and medicines have side effect that can be serious

Does not mean we stop taking them

Shucks people have died from eating nuts

[MaxPower]

Miami open as normal.

No signs really in the airport reiterating the covid protocols.

Some wear masks, some don’t.

Trinis will love it there.

Also PariaMan

This is more than just a virus eh.

This is a test of how much freedoms people willing to give up. So go ahead and muzzle yourself literally and figuratively.

Banning people for 'wrongthink' is exactly the kinda mentality that gave rise to Nazi-ism.

We cannot have people walking around as disease spreaders impacting other people's health.

Your rights stop where it infringes on someone's else's.

Your feelings stop where it infringes on others.

You've been brainwashed to think covid is as bad as they say it is.


Stop being a typical Trini and THINK.
