Both Kexing and Fubitai vaccines currently require two doses.

Earlier, there were media reports that the government is discussing the need for a third shot in the future.

Cui Junming, president of the Hong Kong Institute of Hospital Pharmacists, stated on a radio program today (12th) that antibodies can stay in the body for 6 to 9 months after taking Fubitai vaccine, plus the virus variant, so if the third dose is added to deal with the variant virus The ability to strengthen the protection, "So the third shot is related to the time issue, in fact, you have to prepare."

He also pointed out that if the first two injections of Kexing are injected and the third dose of Fubitai is injected, it is expected to increase its efficiency. "The overall efficiency of Fubitai will be 90% or more, so it can be used for Gao Kexing."

Cui Junming quoted the results of the study, saying that after vaccination with Fubitai vaccine, most scientists said that the antibody can stay in the body for 6 to 9 months, so there is a chance that a third dose is needed, "it looks like a flu vaccine."

Cui Junming continued to point out that in addition to the current virus variants, the ability to deal with variant viruses in the third shot can be added to strengthen the protection. "Therefore, the third shot is a time issue. In fact, you have to prepare." He also pointed out that it must be repeated. Thai company has applied to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for emergency use authorization for the third needle.

If the "groove needle" is compounded by the Tecora high-tech effect

For those who reported that the first two injections were given to Kexing, the third injection could be used to get the Futai, which is the popular kind of "gou needle."

Cui Junming said that the University of Hong Kong is doing relevant research. Although the data has not yet been released, but with reference to foreign data, if the injection of AstraZeneca and Fubitai is relatively effective, the overall efficiency of Fubitai has reached 90% or The above, so we can talk about Hi-Tech." He continued that even if the data is not available, we still believe that it can help increase the overall efficiency of Hi-Tech.

Cui Junming also pointed out that Kexing is an inactivated vaccine, while Fubitai is an mRNA vaccine. The two can complement each other. For example, although Kexing has neutralizing antibodies, its T cell response is very weak. "If Kexing has a low efficiency In fact, you can consider Fubitai."

The third injection has a higher chance of side effects

Cui Junming believes that if the third injection is injected, the side effects will be similar, such as redness, swelling and pain, fatigue, mild fever, etc.

However, according to foreign data, since the third dose of antibody production will be stronger, there is a higher chance of side effects. However, he urged everyone not to worry and expect to recover after one to two days of rest.

The third shot should be injected with the second generation, against the variant virus vaccine

As for the third shot, it refers to the current first-generation vaccine or the new second-generation vaccine.

Cui Junming took Fubitai as an example, saying that they are conducting two studies, including injecting existing vaccines or injecting new vaccines that can deal with the Delta variant virus as the third shot.

He believes that the third dose of vaccination will be more ideal. Although only two doses of Forbitux have been given, it has 70 to 80% protection against the Delta variant virus. "But if it can be 100% protected, it will be more ideal." It is believed that the Hong Kong government will discuss with drug manufacturers to purchase second-generation vaccines.

He also pointed out that when Fubitel opens factories in the mainland, the supply will have a chance to be more stable, otherwise the government may not be able to snap up the second-generation vaccines in the first place if it only depends on German supplies.
