All individuals who have taken two doses of the Sinovac vaccine will be regarded as fully vaccinated for four months after the second dose, or Dec 31 this year, whichever is later.
Yahoo News SingaporeThose given Sinovac, Sinopharm or AstraZeneca jabs counted as fully vaccinated from 10 Aug
Wong Casandra·Senior Reporter6 August 2021·2-min readSINGAPORE — From next Tuesday (10 August), those in Singapore who receive COVID-19 jabs that are not under the national programme but are under the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) emergency use listing will also be recognised as fully-vaccinated two weeks after completing the vaccine regimen.
no. it is fully vaccinated after 2 weeks and before 4 months. With sinovac added to national vaccination program, it is easy to get a 3rd dose. Sinovac was administered quite late in Singapore and i dont know if many have met the 4 months mark if they have received their first dose in Singapore. https://www.reuters.com/world/as ... vaccine-2021-06-18/
it was in June that first dose was given. So there was no downgrade because no one in Singapore has over 4 months of 2 doses sinovac.
Sinovac will be not offered as a booster for people who have already completed two doses of mRNA vaccine and did not develop allergies or severe adverse reactio ...
it has nothing to do with what you posted as incorrect information previously which I tried to correct
新加坡以前：2劑就係fully vaccinated FOREVER（at least，no 「expiry date」）
而家：2劑係fully vaccinated FOR FOUR MONTHS!
HK is neither singapore nor Israel. Singapore is just as irreverent as Israel to HK.
So you selectively want to comment on a country, while ignoring others to make a point.
I personally dont care about 3rd shot for sinovac as i know of no one who had any side effect from sinovac. I dont have needle phobia as I used to do double plasma donation (two needles, one in each arm for an hour -- far thicker than needle from vaccine), extract blood, and spin for plasma and then circle back to the body.
taking one dose of sinovac is like going for a lunch for me, just need to have time to show up.
There are many considerations for vaccine, you can take biontech as you like it, it is allowed.Sinovac has shown to work well. look at Regina Yip.after 6 months of sinovac, her boosters from 1 dose of biontech had taken her from <100 to >20000
sinovac is clearly proven a very good base.
Ho Ching had 3 doses of pfizer, and her antibodes was in 13k after booster
If 2 doses of sinovac has zero impact after 6 months, the 1 dose biontech would generate antibody level comparing to single dose Pfizer which is far lower level than 20k
(the 11k is for an far younger average age group, comparing to Regina Yip)
this alone can prove that 2 doses of sinovac generates strong immune memory (that are not being shown by measuring the antibody level).
more interesting, the booster shot that ho ching got (she is a few years younger, and only get a boost
from 700 to 15k, not as dramatic as what Regina Yip is getting...
this is just antibody level alone, it does not even factor that mRNA vaccine does not induce b cell evolution as shown in the Nature paper, while the sinovac paper has shown that there is b cell evolution.
so the antibody that Regina Yip has generated is of higher quality than Ho Ching
