Looks like bioNtech or pfizer using another manufacturer to produce their vaccine and we will be receiving these. Suppose to be the same as pfizer, so my guess is it's alright to mix 1st dose and 2nd dose between pfizer and ComirnatyTM.

Then when Singapore roll out our vaccine in 2023 we call it

Reddot Comirnaty? 

SG Comirnaty? 

Singacomirnaty?

Biological effects of a mix-and-match approach

Scientists suspect there are a few ways that receiving two different COVID-19 vaccines may result in a stronger immune response.

Each company used slightly different regions of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in their formulations. It’s the virus’s spike protein that your immune system responds to, so exposure to different portions of the spike protein should mean your body will make an array of corresponding antibodies that can fend off future infection. The range of antibodies should then provide better protection and increase the likelihood that you’ll be protected from variants with changes in the spike protein.

And different vaccine technologies activate unique aspects of the immune system thanks to how they present their portion of the spike protein.

I see, thanks for the info.

 

I think mod should change the title, since this will be the official brand name of their covid19 vaccine.

From the article...

"Moderna initially filed in January four variations that included the city name “Wuhan,” including Wuhan Vax and Wuhan Corona MVax, but those are now listed in the database as “abandoned.”

Comirnaty is pronounced phonetically as koe mir' na tee

I think most people that know Bahasa Melayu don't think it's auspicious.

If you already got jab using the old name then confirmed safe and ok la. For those who haven’t jab yet and will be jabbing using the new vaccine name then maybe need worry?! 😅

Booster shots in future?

Some experts who had Johnson & Johnson's single-dose vaccine are now getting extra shots of Pfizer or Moderna to try to protect against the Delta variant

 

Some experts who got Johnson & Johnson's one-dose vaccine are trying an extra shot of Moderna or Pfizer's vaccines to try to protect against the fast-spreading Delta coronavirus variant.

Officials have not recommended getting a booster shot after J&J's vaccine or any other vaccine, and two experts said everyone should wait for more data.

Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, said on Twitter Tuesday that she got the Pfizer vaccine to "top off" the J&J vaccine she received in April.  

Rasmussen said that the rise of the Delta variant in the UK — where more than 95% of new infections are caused by Delta — showed the "crucial importance" of getting as many people vaccinated as possible.

Rasmussen said that we don't know whether an extra vaccine dose after a J&J shot boosts protection against variants, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or CDC haven't made any recommendations. But it was likely to work, given that boosters work for nearly every other vaccine in use, she said.

"We shouldn't wait to make recommendations about this," she said. 

Rasmussen encouraged people who'd had J&J's shot, especially those living in communities with low vaccination rates, to speak with healthcare providers about getting an extra dose. 

Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Joe Biden's chief medical adviser, said Wednesday that the Delta variant accounted for more than 20% of new infections in the US and was the "greatest threat" to the nation's efforts to eradicate COVID-19. 

There's no data on how well J&J's vaccine works against the Delta variant. More than 9 million Americans have been given the single dose vaccine, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Jason Gallagher, clinical professor in infectious diseases at Temple University's School of Pharmacy, told Reuters Monday that he got J&J's vaccine in a trial in November, and recently had a dose of Pfizer-BioNTech's COVID-19 vaccine.

Gallagher said he was concerned about data that suggested a single shot of either Pfizer or AstraZeneca's vaccine was only 33% effective against symptomatic COVID-19 caused by the Delta variant. "So I took the plunge," he said.

Professor Peter Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, said in a tweet on Thursday that adding a second J&J dose, or an extra shot of Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, could provide broader protection against variants, "but we need data and CDC-FDA guidance."

Dr. John Beigel, associate director for clinical research at the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID), told Reuters Monday that J&J recipients should wait for more data.
