Ray7456 3rd Gear June 2, 2021 Share June 2, 2021 So far no death relating to vaccine. All those they said is Covid with underlying health condition. By MCF standard, where $20K pm salary is the norm, its only a year's annual income 😂 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash2017 Twincharged June 2, 2021 Share June 2, 2021 (edited) Did my reporters got it wrong? Singapore has received about 200,000 doses of the Sinovac Covid-19 vaccine as part of advanced purchases made last year, but these will not be used until the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) has approved the vaccine. Sinovac had been approved by WHO and MOH. Questions: If approved by WHO and MOH, with ready stock*, why not provide them to the general public via the National Programme rather than allowed under the Special Access Route (SAR) via private institutions. Furthermore Sinovac complications will not be eligible for the Vaccine Injury Financial Assistance Programme (Vifap). * vaccines bought using tax-payers' money. Isn't it confusing? Authorities hold back Sinovac for the longest time because waiting for information. Suddenly approved for public use (includes Tom, Dick and Harry including Mary and Jane) BUT only via private healthcare and no Vifap. However, MOH clarified on Wednesday that this is still a possibility that is being assessed. So exactly is Sinovac safe to take or not? If safe, approved for public use and needed to pay then why NO Vifap and still possibility of being assessed? Will these confusing messages lead to vaccination hesitancy? Please kindly bear with me (sweating under my collar) as I will improve our internal reporting standards for clarity but in the mean time please don't umbrage.

Ender Hypersonic June 2, 2021 Author Share June 2, 2021 (edited) Sinopharm much waited phase 3 trial results. Good to go with 72% and 78% efficacy between age 18 to 59. But still lacking in data for the 60 and above. No test or trial for under 18, which is the data I am more concern of. The other data of on concern that is lacking is the sides effects. Not much is written out there. https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3135067/chinese-drug-firm-sinopharm-finally-publishes-covid-19-vaccine Edited June 2, 2021 by Ender Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kklim Supercharged June 7, 2021 Share June 7, 2021 https://fortune.com/2021/06/02/china-covid-vaccine-who-approval-sinovac-sinopharm-bet/ The WHO found that Sinovac’s inactivated COVID-19 vaccine is “safe, effective, and quality assured” in a two-dose regimen, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the WHO, said in a statement on Tuesday. “It’s now crucial to get these lifesaving tools to the people that need them quickly,” he said. Initial Phase III trial results showed that Sinovac's vaccine is just over 50% effective in preventing COVID-19 infections. But real-world data suggests that its efficacy may be as high as 67% in preventing infections and 98% effective in preventing deaths related to COVID-19 vaccines. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kb27 Supersonic June 17, 2021 Share June 17, 2021 (edited) Sinovac not good enough ? It's the delta variant causing havoc.. Hundreds of Indonesian doctors contract COVID-19 despite vaccination, dozens hospitalised JAKARTA: More than 350 Indonesian doctors have contracted COVID-19 despite being vaccinated with Sinovac and dozens have been hospitalised, officials said, as concerns rise about the efficacy of some vaccines against more virulent virus strains. Most of the doctors were asymptomatic and self-isolating at home, said Badai Ismoyo, head of the Kudus district health office in Central Java, but dozens were in hospital with high fevers and declining oxygen saturation levels. Kudus is battling an outbreak believed to be driven by the more transmissible Delta variant which has pushed bed occupancy rates above 90 per cent in the district. Designated as a priority group, Indonesian healthcare workers were among the first to be vaccinated when the inoculation drive started in January. Almost all have received the COVID-19 vaccine developed by Chinese biopharmaceutical company Sinovac, according to the Indonesian Medical Association. While the number of Indonesian healthcare workers dying from COVID-19 has decreased significantly – dropping from 158 deaths this January to 13 this May, according to data initiative group LaporCOVID-19 – public health experts say the Java hospitalisations are cause for concern. "The data shows they have the Delta variant so it is no surprise that the breakthrough infection is higher than before because as we know the majority of healthcare workers in Indonesia got Sinovac, and we still don't know yet how effective it is in the real world against the Delta variant," said Dicky Budiman, an epidemiologist from Australia's Griffith University. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asia/indonesia-covid-19-doctors-hospitalised-delta-variant-vaccinated-15033196 Edited June 17, 2021 by Kb27 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
