An extra #COVID19 booster jab for people of 18+ in SA will become available towards the end of JANUARY
- People of 50+ qualify for a 5th dose
- People of 18+ qualify for a 4th dose
🧵JUST IN: 1. From Mon, 6 June, people of 50+ can get an extra #Pfizer #COVID19 vaccine booster 120 days after their previous booster. Technically, you can already get one from tomorrow (Sat), as the #EVDS went live tonight, but you’ll only receive an sms alert from Mon.
FDA limits #JnJ vaccine to only those who can't receive other vaccines due to risk of thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS), aka vaccine-induced thrombocytic thrombocytopenia (VITT), aka the rare vaccine clot syndrome we've known about since 3/2021

The cause of this rare effect is the development of anti-PIF4 antibodies, but the mechanism of that is, surprisingly, still unknown. The same effect is seen in AZ, and J&J is Ad26 while AZ is a chimp Ad, so it's likely common to many-most primate adenoviruses.
It's been suggested Ad capsids bind and precipitate PIF4, triggering an immune reaction against PIF4. However a simpler mechanism that I have yet to see ruled out would be simply the production of antibodies to some Ad capsid protein that in rare cases cross-react to PIF4
🧵1. Is SA in a 5th #COVID19 wave?
@ProfAbdoolKarim: It’s too early to tell. We don’t have reliable data 2 compare infections of the last 7 days with the previous 7 days. Why? SA = 2 holidays in the past week, so testing nrs = down + can’t reliably be compared 2 the previous wk.

2. Why do we need to compare data of the last 7 days with the previous 7 days?
- For a 5th wave the 7-day moving average would have doubled every 2-3 days (so we would have had 10,000+ cases by now)
- But we’ve seen only a 52% increase: from 3,097 (April 24) to 4,693 (May 1)

- But we’ve seen only a 52% increase: from 3,097 (April 24) to 4,693 (May 1)
3. Does the lower-than-expected increase for a new wave mean we’re not in a 5th #COVID19 wave?
Not necessarily — it could just be that testing numbers are down because of the 2 public holidays in the past week (far fewer people go to test on public holidays).

🧵1. Until when will you be able to get a #Pfizer #COVID19 jab in SA?
Most likely only until July 31st, says @HealthZA. After that only #JnJ will be available.
Why? SA has received all the doses it's procured from Pfizer and the last batch expires on July 31.

#JoePhaahla:
1. 20 million+ vaccine doses in stock
2. There's been an increase in take-up over the past week
3. But there's still a risk that 100,000 doses that will expire on March 31 won't be used in time + need to be discarded

2. #JoePhaahla:
1. SA is working with #COVAX to take up doses in SA that risk expiry before use and then return them later (so a kind of exchange programme)
2. Programmes right now specifically target the 18-34 age group where uptake is the lowest

🧵1. Will SA vax kids between 5 + 11 years @ #COVID19?
- The vax MAC = not made a recommendation 2 @HealthZA. @SAHPRA1 = not approved vax 4 this group yet
- But if they say "yes" = no money 2 buy the jabs. Kids jabs = different from adult jabs. We can't use the ones we've got.

1. No.
2. Why not?

2. A sub-study of #Sisonke, conducted among SA #HealthWorkers, that measures #JnJ's effectiveness
