Most of my friends and relatives also prefer Sinovac to other vaccines because they know after Sinovac jabs side effects are less compared to other vaccines such as Pfizer.
Poppema, a specialist in immunopathology, said all vaccines, including Sinovac, provide sufficient protection against serious illness or death from Covid-19.
He said all vaccines offer slightly lower protection against the Delta variant, “but they also prevent serious illness caused by this variant”.
Poppema said concerns over Sinovac’s efficacy were also exacerbated by news reports of Covid-19 infections and deaths, including 350 Indonesian health workers contracting the virus.
This, he said, was a “small minority” when compared to the one million healthcare workers vaccinated with Sinovac.
“Very few of them became seriously ill,” he said, adding that the success of the vaccine had been underreported.
He also said the highest numbers of infections with the Delta variant were currently found in the UK, which mostly used the AstraZeneca vaccine, and in European countries (Pfizer and AstraZeneca) and the US (Pfizer and Moderna).
“Does that mean they are not effective? No, it’s the non-vaccinated who are affected, and the small number of vaccinated people who do become infected are not seriously ill,” he told FMT.
KUALA LUMPUR: Data perubatan menunjukkan vaksin Sinovac dan Pfizer mempunyai keberkesanan yang sama dalam melawan virus COVID-19.
Ketua Pengarah Kesihatan, Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah, berkata tidak banyak perbezaan ditemui antara vaksin Sinovac dan Pfizer dalam penggunaan secara praktikal.
Beliau berkata, perkara itu dibuktikan melalui data perubatan mengenai pengalaman Chile menggunakan Sinovac yang diterbitkan dalam laporan 'New England Journal of Medicine' 7 Julai lalu.
"Kedua-duanya sangat efektif dalam mengelakkan penyakit teruk COVID-19 dan sehingga dimasukkan ke hospital namun kurang berkesan menentang kesan ringan atau yang tidak mempunyai gejala," katanya dalam kenyataan di Facebooknya.
Pfizer trial that reported efficacy of 95% was very small and analyzed only 170 Covid-19 cases involving a group of eight vaccinated and 162 unvaccinated individuals.
Study on 4.2 million fully vaccinated individuals compared to 5.5 million unvaccinated residents, SINOVAV was found to reduce Covid-19 infection by 65.9%, reduce hospitalization by 87.5%, reduce intensive care unit (ICU) admission by 90.3% and reduce deaths by 86.3%,”
