Pfizer Covid-19 booster shots get the nod in SA

Image:Pfizer Covid-19 booster shots have been given the go-ahead for people older than 18.

The SA Health Products Regulatory Authority confirmed in a statement on Wednesday that it had approved the “optional third dose” of the Covid-19 vaccine after the company applied for approval.A third dose of the Comirnaty® Covid-19 vaccine in individuals aged 18 years and older, to be administered at least six months after the second dose.

A third dose of the Comirnaty® Covid-19 vaccine in individuals aged 12 years and older who are severely immunocompromised, to be administered at least 28 days after the second dose. However, the authority said the data only dealt with boosters for the same brand of vaccine, meaning that there will be no “mix-and-match” of the Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer shots.

Everything gets a nod in SA as long as it comes from western countries. They can't say no and they know why and what they signed for.

Omicron variant discovered a week or so ago. Pfizer is claiming they’ve already done a study showing their booster is effective against it.

Y cnt they approve sputnik and the China one And there were radio personalities taking about how the inkabjed are selfish gits for not being fully jabbed. Looks like they were never anything but fully fooled. In what history would a business stop a scheme that literally makes tens of billions of dollars? Approval of more doses of a product that has yet to work as advertised is madness, but also profitable. Let's investigate the wealth of SAHPRA & its members perosnal wealth over the last 24 months.
