Best Posts in Thread: Latest on Booster Shots

No more boosters at ACE Doctors for the time being. They told me that they administered boosters to seniors up until Monday and now they are vaccinating children.

 

I'm sorry, but that's a bit too cynical for me.
Obviously, since in most cases it is governments that are paying for those vaccinations (and for the booster shots), and because those same governments would no doubt much prefer to buy cheaper vaccines from other suppliers, the scientific advisory bodies of all these governments must be totally daft if they're all advising these expensive mRNA boosters for no good reason at all, against the pretty strong financial interest of the governments that pay those advisory bodies.

 

I notice they have not given a reason for citing an mRNA vaccine as the booster shot, but they did write "initial data from an early-stage trial from the companies behind the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.... " and those companies have a vested interest.

I would be interested to know if other scientific articles back their claim for using their vaccine type as a booster (i.e. a profit booster).

 

**Singapore on Sinovac**
Similarly, there is evidence that antibody levels after 2 doses of Sinovac’s CoronaVac COVID-19 vaccine are low, and decline rapidly in all age groups within 3 to 6 months, In Singapore, booster shots are now available. All persons are strongly recommended to get mRNA vaccines as their booster (unless unable for medical reasons such as allergy or myocarditis from a prior dose). For persons who are unable to take mRNA vaccines for medical reasons, they should consider non-mRNA vaccines such as Sinovac-CoronaVac or Sinopharm.returning to pre-vaccination levels by 6 months. A third dose of CoronaVac is necessary to increase in antibodies and strengthen the immune protection against COVID-19...

For those who took two doses of Sinovac-CoronaVac or Sinopharm, the third dose should be taken 90 days after the second dose...

Persons who have received two doses of Sinovac-CoronaVac or Sinopharm but are able to receive the mRNA vaccines are recommended to receive a PSAR mRNA vaccine as the third dose of the primary vaccination series.(PSAR is their approval committee)

MOH does not recommend the use of Sinovac-CoronaVac or Sinopharm as a booster vaccination. The exception is for persons who are unable to receive an mRNA vaccine due to medical reasons, such as an allergy to the mRNA vaccine.

Mixing up shots seems to be good but there are so many potential combinations of the main vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, JJ, Sinovac, Sputnik) and whether two of the same and a different one or three different ones and in which order and which is best for which age group or health-risk group or gender and at what spacing! It's a lucky dip.

 

Are you saying she got Moderna as a booster?

Early on the only vaccine available was Sinovac. Then J&J for a short period. More recently it has almost been exclusively Pfizer and Moderna. My wife got Pfizer. The neighbors got Moderna. I went early and got Sinovac. I am looking forward to getting this Chinese sh*t boosted with a decent vaccine.
