Sinopharm- Sinovac
I think that I have been given Sinovac.
Sinopharm is being accepted, from Friday, by the South, no PCR test required.
Looking at my card it just says Sars. Covid.
What is your opinion ref. freedom of movement?

Re: Sinopharm- Sinovac
Our cards state “Sinovac” clearly! Has anyone in TRNC received “Sinopharm” vaccine? As I read through all reports, I can find no mention of “Sinopharm” vaccine used in the North! Yet another cunning ploy by the RoC?

Re: Sinopharm- Sinovac
CoronaVac is made by a company called Sinovac. Sinopharm is another company that has made a corona virus vaccine. The Sinopharm one has been approved by WHO for emergency use. The Sinovac vaccine (CoronaVac)is still waiting approval .

Re: Sinopharm- Sinovac
Thank you, am aware of the two companies that produce the Sino (means Chinese) vaccine derivatives, both of which are produced from an inactive (dead) virus, different to the others that contain elements of live virus. Apart from the results from Brazil which are debatable in any case, Sinovac is used to great - but not excellent - effect by many far eastern countries yet still awaits the final results of phase three testing. Probably due to the producing company being a private company and not (Chinese) state run - lots of political moves involved!
The question remains - has anyone any knowledge of Sinopharm being used in the TRNC?

Re: Sinopharm- Sinovac
the TRNC was/is supplied with three different vaccines.
from Turkey Sinovac, about 140k doses. from EU Biontech, 20k doses and Astra, 10k doses.
no sinopharm.
maybe "in the pipeline" is SputnikV, also supplied from Turkey.

13roman58, thanks, that just confirms my thoughts on the happy, helpful Greek Cypriot side of the Island allowing "anyone" with a double dose of Sinopharm to cross the Green Line - lol.

Re: Sinopharm- Sinovac
The ROC accepting Sinopharm isn't a surprise after it was added to the list of acceptable vaccines by WHO.
What will be interesting is what they do if/when Sinovac is signed off by WHO.

steveodp, probably nothing - unless the EU sign it off as well then they will follow suit! Of course resident Brits still won't be able to go across for anything other than to fly away. Oh how I miss my McDonalds breakfast - lol.

RIP indeed, but has it been proved that the vaccine was the cause. One person out of how many, how old was she, did she have any underlaying health issues. A bit early I would have thought to start casting aspersions.

The sinovac vaccine has not been passed by the EU or the UK health boards. Until they are passed then the vaccine remains unrecognised

Re: Sinopharm- Sinovac
Perfect! An unrecognized vaccine for an unrecognized country. Thousands of people want to visit the Worlds biggest open prison, thousands more want to live in it and even more own property in it - yet here it is, still being argued over by politicians - jobs for life - sad!

Re: Sinopharm- Sinovac
World Health Organisation approves Sinovac vaccine for emergency use
The Chinese-made jab is being made at a rate of around two billion doses per year and is among four domestic vaccines that have already been approved in China.
A real-world study of the vaccine in Indonesia suggested it was 98% effective at preventing death and 96% effective at stopping hospital admissions as soon as seven days after the second dose, according to the country's health ministry.
The emergency use listing is significant because it means the Sinovac vaccine could become part of the COVAX programme, used to supply jabs to poorer nations.
The Sinovac jab is particularly useful because it can be stored easily - rather than needing to be kept at extremely low temperatures like some other vaccines - making it much more suitable for supplying to developing countries.

the WHO approval has no direct consequences in these countries/areas.

Re: Sinopharm- Sinovac
as basically most of the 2nd vaccinations till today were given in march/april, that means a third Biontech!! shot will be given from november/december 2021 onwards.
this applies for less of 17% of the population who are jabbed twice.
a further say, 5% are jabbed once. so, approx 75% did not even got a first jab.
as Delta is on the doorstep.... who still wants the thousands and thousands doses available (which did arrive recently) from sinovac, wait one month for the second dose and get a third jab in.... march 2022 ?

Re: Sinopharm- Sinovac
Had mine in March, at that time Sinovac was the only one available.
Thank you TRNC.
I will greatfully receive the Biontech October/
November
Hindsight was not a privilege at the time.

Had my 2nd Sinovac in February. Very grateful to the government and health service here. Will be very happy to have the Biontech in October or whenever available to me.

Re: Sinopharm- Sinovac
For me it is simple! Any vaccine, any time, anywhere, without a worry - AstraVenica aside - there are still people here who could have and should have been vaccinated already. But for their own reasons they have refused it, putting themselves and others at risk.

Re: Sinopharm- Sinovac
"If you’ve had it and are confident it works then why worry?"
I ceased worrying about myself many years ago. But I find it sad that people only worry about themselves without a thought for others - the standards of driving is one example of this and yet they can see no wrong in it, only see what others are doing to them!
As for confident it works - the older I get the less my confidence in anything is - but better to give it a chance I say.

Re: Sinopharm- Sinovac
"...putting others that haven’t had it at risk..." - there is a great difference between those who "haven’t had it" by choice, and those who "haven’t had it" because they have not had the opportunity - the former voluntarily accept/assume the risk, while the latter? Why should they be subject to others' selfishness?

Re: Sinopharm- Sinovac
Have been watching the current push in UK to inject the black, and other ethnic minorities in UK and am astounded as to the ignorance and misinformation still on social media. The Doctors who have a preponderance of such people as patients are doing their utmost to to counter this and are starting to overcome peoples fears. However I was disgusted with the Editors/Reporters who put forward question at the Downing Street briefing yesterday. "Why is the Government not doing more to persuade people who doubt the safety of the vaccines" I thought the three people at the briefing were extremely polite but it was obvious they wanted to shout out "Why the hell don't you, the leaders and influencers of your own people do more, instead of continually wingeing" The religious leaders of these people could also do a lot more, but all they do is complain and in many cases defend those who are refusing to be jabbed. Sadly it is still the black communities which lag behind the others. There has been an 86% increase in the last two weeks, which proves how low their figures were originally.
