Senior citizens aged 60 and above can be given the Sinovac vaccine under phase two of the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme, says Khairy Jamaluddin.

The coordinating minister for the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme said that the committee evaluating the vaccines have looked at the latest data and found that that vaccine is "safe, effective and stable" for senior citizens.

Khairy, who is also Science, Technology and Innovation Minister, said the countries that have administered the Sinovac vaccine to its population aged 60 and above are Turkey (11 million people), Brazil (seven million) and Chile (three million).

"The committee has reviewed the data and we have decided to use the Sinovac for senior citizens based on the Brazil trials and trial papers under review.
"The secondary efficacy against Covid-19 for Sinovac is 83.7% for moderate cases and 100% for severe cases.
"So, this vaccine is effective in preventing severe cases of Covid-19 and this is precisely what we want for the people in phase two and senior citizens.
"The Covid-19 mortality rate for those aged 60 and above is 80%, so if we can give 100% protection against severe cases of the virus – which the Sinovac vaccine provides – then it is something we need to use," he said during a press conference on Monday (April 12).

The Sinovac vaccine came under scrutiny as its efficacy rates have varied across different countries, while China's immunisation plan initially did not include those above 60 years old.

In a tweet later, Khairy clarified that both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Sinovac vaccines would be given to those aged 60 and above.
"Before this, Sonovac was not given to those in the above 60 age group. On the advice of experts. the Special Committee for Ensuring Access to Covid-19 Vaccine Supply (JKJAV) has decided that Sinovac vaccines are safe for senior citizens," he said.

Mortality rate for above 60 is 80% meaning 8 out of 10 who contracted will die? Quite deadly.

Gomen can make it difficult for anti-vax to enjoy basic services later. Which means cannot shop, dine in, go holiday or even pray. See who cave in first.

How dare you question the intelligence of Dr. Khairy. He says the vaccine is safe for the elderly, not deadly. So cucuk ler tanpa was-was, dijamin selamat oleh Dr. Khairy.

Do they inform the oldest first to cucuk. If so those age 60 will have to wait a few months to get notifications.

The AstraZeneca vaccine has been declared safe for use in the second phase of the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme (NIP).

Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba said the 280,000 doses of AstraZeneca vaccine which had arrived in the country would be used for those aged 60 years and above.

"We have received 280,000 doses (of AstraZeneca vaccine) and we will use it," he said in a press conference today.

Dr Adham also said Pharmaniaga LifeScience Sdn Bhd would also produce 2 million doses of the "fill and finish" Sinovac vaccine for usage in phase two of the NIP.

Meanwhile, Health Ministry Institute for Clinical Research director Dr Kalairasu Peariasamy said a team of multi-disciplinary experts in the Covid-19 Vaccine Supply Guarantee Special Committee (JKJAV) had applied three conditions in deciding whether the AstraZeneca vaccine should be used in the country.

"The first is to see if the vaccine leads to a decrease in hospitalisation, a decrease in patients being warded in the intensive care unit, and a decrease in deaths because of Covid-19 risks.

"After going through all data, our panel has decided that the benefits outweigh the risks and that the (AstraZeneca) vaccine is suitable especially for those aged 60 years and above," he said.

Dr Kalairasu explained that in the United Kingdom, the AstraZeneca vaccine had been widely used for the elderly and did not showcase blood clots.
"(The European Union drug regulator) European Medicines Agency on April 7 has decided that AstraZeneca is suitable for use, and while blood clots are extremely rare, there is no scientific evidence that blood clots can be linked to the vaccines," he added.

The AstraZeneca vaccine, purchased through the Covax facility, arrived at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport at 8.20pm on Friday.
