VAKCINA

The Phase 3 ENSEMBLE 2 study showed that another shot of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine given 56 days after the first provided:

• 100 percent protection (CI, 33%-100%) against severe/critical COVID-19 – at least 14 days post-final vaccination.
• 75 percent protection against symptomatic (moderate to severe/critical) COVID-19 globally (CI, 55%-87%).
• 94 percent protection against symptomatic (moderate to severe/critical) COVID-19 in the U.S. (CI, 58%-100%).

WHO Suspends Approval Process For Russia's Sputnik Vaccine, Official Says

An official at the World Health Organization (WHO) says the group has suspended its approval process for Russia’s Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine, after a number of manufacturing infringements were uncovered during an inspection in Russia earlier this year.
Jarbas Barbosa, assistant director at the Pan American Health Organization, the regional office of WHO for the Americas, suggested on September 15 that new inspections at one of the plants where the vaccine is being manufactured would be required before the vaccine is granted approval for emergency use.
The plant “needs to take this under advisement, make the necessary changes, and be ready for new inspections. The WHO is waiting for the manufacturer to send news that their plant is up to code,” Barbosa said.
In a report published in June, the WHO reported it had found multiple infringements at a factory owned by Russia’s pharmaceutical company Pharmstandard in the city of Ufa, including regarding the “implementation of adequate measures to mitigate the risks of cross contamination.”
The plant later said it had addressed these concerns.
Russia submitted its applications for approval by both the WHO and European Medicines Agency (EMA) in February, after peer-reviewed results published in the medical journal The Lancet showed it to be safe and 91.6 percent effective against COVID-19.
Despite a lack of approval, Sputnik V is being used in a number of countries across the world.

Albanski parlament je danas doneo odluku o obaveznoj vakcinaciji svih poslanika protiv koronavirusa.

Poslanik vladajuće Socijalističke partije Taulant Bala je rekao da su se lideri svih parlamentarnih grupa složili da vakcine budu obavezne, kao i da će se većina sednica održati onlajn.

Vakcinacija je već obavezna za albansko medicinsko osoblje, nastavnike, profesore i studente.

In June 2021, we conducted a nationwide survey, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, that gave us a sample of 1,036 people who mirrored the diverse makeup of the U.S. (...)
We asked respondents to tell us what they would do if “vaccines were required” by their employer. (...) Among those who said they were “vaccine hesitant” – almost a quarter of respondents – we found that 48% would quit or look for another job. (...)
But while it is easy and cost-free to tell a pollster you’ll quit your job, actually doing so when it means losing a paycheck you and your family may depend upon is another matter.
And based on a sample of companies that already have vaccine mandates in place, the actual number who do resign rather than get the vaccine is much smaller than the survey data suggest.
Houston Methodist Hospital, for example, required its 25,000 workers to get a vaccine by June 7. Before the mandate, about 15% of its employees were unvaccinated. By mid-June, that percentage had dropped to 3% and hit 2% by late July. A total of 153 workers were fired or resigned, while another 285 were granted medical or religious exemptions and 332 were allowed to defer it.
At Jewish Home Family in Rockleigh, New Jersey, only five of its 527 workers quit following its vaccine mandate. Two out of 250 workers left Westminster Village in Bloomington, Illinois, and even in deeply conservative rural Alabama, a state with one of the lowest vaccine uptake rates, Hanceville Nursing & Rehab Center lost only six of its 260 employees.
Delta Airlines didn’t mandate a shot, but in August it did subject unvaccinated workers to a US$200 per month health insurance surcharge. Yet the airline said fewer than 2% of employees have quit over the policy.
And at Indiana University Health, the 125 workers who quit are out of 35,800 total employees, or 0.3%.
