I think the number is 350 health workers got infected. There are 1.3 million health workers in Indonesia and most got vaccinated since the program started in January. Rather miniscule like 0.02% infected. Moreover all from a province that the Delta variant is running rampant.

"Efficacy" should be clearly defined every single time that they institutions like Chulalongkorn publish a new release. They dance around it though with statistical mumbo-jumbo. Efficacy like creating full immunity? Efficacy like creating some antibodies? Efficacy like making you less sick if you get sick? Every institution dealing with vaccines should bolt their claims right onto a clear, standardized definition of "efficacy" used globally by all parties. Without a clear definition, then it's all just marketing to the masses to get them to jump onboard the first train to arrives at the station and be happy. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow !!! 186 recipients, That research is useless . The fact is Thailand needs to accept the fact is this deadly virus came from THEM CHINA. Thailand is rewarding China by buying their vaccines even though its killed over 1000 Thais and infected 150,000. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is relatively ineffective against the Indian variant, then it could mean that millions of people will get very sick and need to be hospitalised, and likely be given a third and maybe fourth dose of a more efficient vaccine. It's kind of bizarre to think of nations scrabbling to get out vaccines that might not actually work in the end. Hopefully this speculation is wrong though, and the Chinese vaccines are effective enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonboat Ronin Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) This is difficult to understand. The summary above states "95% of the 186 recipients of the second dose of Sinovac’s COVID-19 vaccine had immunity", but when you click the article the last line says "more than 70% of the people had the immunity that effectively prevented illness". Still there is a key takeaway regarding all the two-dose vaccines, namely that both doses as well as a few weeks waiting period after the 2nd dose are required to achieve maximum protection. This will be very challenging (~impossible) with the current vaccine rollout, especially with particular challenges posed by the Delta (India) variant. There is now recent information being published about this.

tomyami Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 2 hours ago, josthomz said: it's more than clear that vaccinated people getting infected is a sad but true fact, specially with these new variants. Bottom line is that the percentage of fully vaccinated people (with any of the available vaccinated) around the world who have died because of COVID19 is totally minuscule to the point it's almost negligible. I can speak for my own country 40% vaccinated AZ and pfizer hospitalisiations and deaths have fallen off a cliff new infections recorded on younger and unvaccinated only. Health worker infections almost zero I think 6 last month when it was as high as 5000 in janurary Country started to opened 1 month ago and will fully by september al going well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wensiensheng Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Overall the article makes no sense and is far too small a sample size. it’s been released for propaganda. Many Thais have had one dose and need reminding about the need to have a second. Many Thais have concerns about sinovac and need reassurance that it works. that’s all.

Only 4% of Indonesia's population has been vaccinated versus 46% in UK and 45% in USA population. That's just like saying that AZ is ineffective because India records 70,000 (last month 300,000) new cases almost everyday recently when only 3.6% has been vaccinated in India. So you can't compare orange with apples. Edited June 18, 2021 by EricTh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
