VAKCINA

WOW!
China is pushing ahead with the largest vaccination drive in the history of the world. A staggering 20 million jabs are administered pr day. China has vaccinated 1000 million at home and provided 400 million vaccines to other countries.

An Associated Press analysis of available government data from May shows that “breakthrough” infections in fully vaccinated people accounted for fewer than 1,200 of more than 853,000 COVID-19 hospitalizations. That’s about 0.1%.

And only about 150 of the more than 18,000 COVID-19 deaths in May were in fully vaccinated people. That translates to about 0.8%, or five deaths per day on average.

The World Health Organization (WHO) forecasts that people most vulnerable to COVID-19, such as the elderly, will need to get an annual vaccine booster to be protected against variants, an internal document seen by Reuters shows.

The estimate is included in a report, which is to be discussed on Thursday at a board meeting of Gavi, a vaccine alliance that co-leads the WHO's COVID-19 vaccine programme COVAX. The forecast is subject to changes and is also paired with two other less likely scenarios.

The document shows that the WHO considers annual boosters for high-risk individuals as its "indicative" baseline scenario, and boosters every two years for the general population.

Why we don't believe any Covid variant will be able to defeat our jab completely: Creators of the Oxford vaccine SARAH GILBERT and CATH GREEN give a very reassuring answer to the question that haunts us all
...
New variants are inevitable and we had expected them, but we had not, perhaps, anticipated that they would emerge quite as fast as they did. 
At our Clinical Biomanufacturing Facility, in Oxford, we had even allowed ourselves to relax a little, thinking our job with Covid-19 was done and we could start to 'go back to normal'.
By early 2021 we knew of three variants of concern – Kent, South African and Brazilian. And by early February, we had good evidence that the vaccine still worked against the Kent variant, so we focused on the other two.
The signs were good that our vaccine would still prevent death and severe disease, but it looked like they were unlikely to do as well in preventing mild and asymptomatic cases. Later on, of course, we had to think about the Delta variant, which was even more transmissible than the Kent variant.
Happily, we didn't have to make new vaccines from scratch. Instead we would use the methods we'd used in 2020 – we just needed the genetic code for the mutated virus.
We also wouldn't need to repeat all the clinical trials, since this was just a tweak of the original vaccine, and if the vaccine behaved as expected we should have a booster shot by the autumn of 2021.
One day we might be able to design one vaccine that works well against multiple variants (not forgetting that the existing vaccines do, to some extent, still work against them all). We even might be able to design pre-emptive vaccines against variants that we have not yet seen. None of these issues feel insurmountable.
The good news is that we also think it is unlikely that the virus can mutate in a way that keeps it functioning but makes our vaccine completely ineffective.
That's because a change in the spike protein – which allows the coronavirus to enter and infect human cells – that is radical enough to make our vaccine completely ineffective would also, almost certainly, be so extreme as to make the virus non-functional. So although it feels like Groundhog Day, and although we are all exhausted and wondering when it will ever end, we are tackling the new variant situation with our teeth gritted and the fortifying knowledge that we know more about what we are doing and where we are headed.
We don't know how many more versions of the vaccine we might be asked to make over the next year, but as global vaccination programmes get going, less coronavirus will be in circulation, making the chances of new variants decline, too.

A Sydney house party that acted as a superspreader event for the coronavirus has also become a case study in the effectiveness of vaccines.

While the majority of the people who attended the West Hoxton party were infected with the virus, those who emerged unscathed had been vaccinated, the NSW Health Minister said.

“I can report that of the more than 30 people that were at that party, 24 of those people are now positive for Covid-19,” Brad Hazzard told reporters on Monday.

“And not one of those 24 people were vaccinated. I could also advise that six health workers who attended at that party, who were fully vaccinated, not one of those people has been infected with (the coronavirus).

“I can also report that there was one aged care worker at the party, who’d had the first dose, and that aged care worker was also not infected at the party.”

Greece will offer its young people 150 euro and a free month of phone data to get their first COVID-19 shot.

"It's a debt to the youth, a gift out of gratitude," Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said.https://t.co/RDBlybzZif

Turkey is offering people a choice of Sinovac or Pfizer-BioNTech for the third shot. Turkey is vaccinating 700,000+ people a day now, many of them with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.
