Channel News Asia ^ | 14 Sep 2022 | Gabrielle Andres

Moderna's bivalent COVID-19 vaccine, which was granted interim authorisation by Singapore's Health Sciences Authority for use as a booster shot, targets both the original strain and Omicron BA.1 variant of the coronavirus.

The Health Sciences Authority (HSA) announced on Wednesday (Sep 14) that it has granted interim authorisation to Moderna’s bivalent COVID-19 vaccine as a booster shot, under the Pandemic Special Access Route (PSAR).

Spikevax Bivalent Original/Omicron COVID-19 vaccine is the first bivalent vaccine against the coronavirus to be authorised as a booster here. HSA said it consulted experts from its Medicines Advisory Committee and Panel of Infectious Diseases Experts in making the regulatory decision.

The authority added that its clinical review was based on an ongoing Phase 2/3 trial conducted by Moderna in individuals aged 18 years and above.

I got covid for the second time and neither one was no big deal. I’m sixty, non smoker and no co morbilities.

The same way the monovalent COVID-19 vaccines protect - not worth a darn.

Yeah, don’t think so. And thanks to the COVID shot scam, I’m probably done with trivalent and quadrivalent flu shots as well.

It will protect you by killing you, and you will never ever get any kind of disease again.

Most athletes get the jab. It targets heart tissue. The ones that die are those that are heavy into energy drinks. The heart beats so fast it breaks off a clot or blows a valve.

Cool. That should be the advertising jungle for the jab.

I think I had it twice - 70, 6-8 cigs a day but exercise - felt like mild colds and no distress.

2 friends who have been double jabbed and single boosted recently got covid and it tore them up for 2 weeks - and the wife just tested positive again...

No vax for me.

Just as I don’t want to be forced to buy an EV.

When the ICE was invented, the government didn’t mandate people give up their horse drawn carriages or tax feed to encourage them to buy model ts, it was better and the people knew it.

A pattern we’ve noticed the past 2+ years is that those people who would have a cold or the flu often tended to be more likely to have symptoms with COVID. This has been particularly true for the older folks. Completely anecdotal, but to my mind it makes sense.
