WHO country representative Rabindra Abeyasinghe announced yesterday that the Philippines has been allocated 44 million doses under COVAX, mostly from Pfizer and AstraZeneca / Oxford U, with 9.2 million expected to arrive within the first half of the year. An initial 117,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine will arrive within a week or two.

Our total allocation will be good for 22 million people – not enough to meet the 70 percent coverage for herd immunity. Unless President Duterte can secure from his friend Vladimir Putin a large amount of Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine, now peer-reviewed to be 91.6 percent effective, it looks like the bulk of the COVID jabs to be administered nationwide will still be the ones developed by Sinovac and possibly by Chinese state-owned Sinopharm. These vaccines are more readily available and don’t need the cold-chain logistics of the Pfizer and Moderna shots.

While the Chinese vaccines reportedly have a much longer shelf life than the Western shots, all vaccines expire rather quickly. And they’re not free, except for a gift of 500,000 doses from Uncle Xi.

Galvez, under fire for the secrecy surrounding the deal, says the price of the Sinovac shot will be reasonable. Even if Sinovac can match the no-profit, no-loss price of AstraZeneca, however, our great-great grandchildren are already deep in debt so we can pay for these vaccines. We can’t afford any waste, the way vaccine hesitancy in America is leading to the waste of thousands of US-made vaccines.

Officials of the Duterte administration, which has embraced everything Chinese including the Wuhan virus at the start of the pandemic, must set the example in accepting the China-made vaccines.

Even Taiwan has to line up in the COVAX program...advantage lang nila they don't have a 100 million plus population to vaccinate..

In December, the CECC had projected that 20 million doses of vaccines it had negotiated to purchase, including 4.76 million doses through the COVAX global initiative and 10 million doses of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine, would be available by March. However, on Wednesday, COVAX released its allocation forecast for the initial 337.2 million doses of vaccines to be distributed through the first half of the year, and Taiwan was not on the list.

In an interview with Apple Daily, Chen said that the government has encountered many difficulties in procuring vaccines and said that it is "more likely" that vaccines will be available in Taiwan by June. He said that when the vaccines do become available, Taiwan can begin to open its borders to travelers once 60 percent of the population is inoculated, meaning that herd immunity will have been achieved.

Britain explores mixed COVID vaccine shots as variants threaten | Reuters

Britain on Thursday launched a trial to assess the immune responses generated if doses of the vaccines from Pfizer and AstraZeneca are combined in a two-shot schedule. Initial data on immune responses is expected to be generated around June.

The trial will examine the responses to an initial dose of Pfizer vaccine followed by a booster of AstraZeneca’s, as well as vice versa, with intervals of four and 12 weeks.

The trial will be the first of its kind to combine a mRNA shot - the one developed by Pfizer and BioNtech - and a adenovirus viral vector vaccine of the type developed by Oxford University and AstraZeneca. AstraZeneca’s shot is separately being trialled in combination with another viral vector vaccine, Russia’s Sputnik V.

The British researchers behind the trial said data on vaccinating people with the two different types of vaccine could help understanding of whether shots can be rolled out with greater flexibility, and might even increase immunity.

Now that it is agreed that the virus transmits through the air, in both large and small droplets, efforts to prevent spread should focus on improving ventilation or installing rigorously tested air purifiers. People must also be reminded to wear masks and maintain a safe distance. At the same time, agencies such as the WHO and the CDC need to update their guidance on the basis of current knowledge.

Coronavirus is in the air — there’s too much focus on surfaces

Don’t be too honest with those “contact tracing” apps. In a store in Alabang, one question was if I had travelled outside the NCR. Obvious ba? A lot of people do. So I answered yes, automatically banned from entering. Isn’t that discrimination? At mas marami pang kaso ng COVID sa NCR kesa sa probinsya.

Kung hindi nga nakakalabas sa bahay, ibig sabihin nyan ay wala din silang nakakausap na taga labas.

So saan nila nakuha ang CHINA WUHAN VIRUS kung ganun? Sa bukas na bintana?

I have a giant batya I pour dishwashing liquid and I make it bubble with a hose then I soak all the fruits and vegetables there, and yes even eggs. I am able to determine pa if the egg is fresh (if the eggs float it's not fresh anymore)

I don't bilad my car anymore
I don't alcohol packages and mail anymore
I don't obsess about cleaning the floor of our garage
