Wait & See Lagi!
AZ followed by Pfizer vaccines generated a robust immune response
BETTER antibody response than AZ-AZ
Obviates rare risk of blood clots
Highest T-cell response  > P-P or AZ-AZ or P-AZ
Offers flexibility
Address late/low supply issues
 
thelancet.com/journals/lance…
Fortified by Spanish study
AZ-P antibody response 3.5X that of AZ-AZ
Only 1.7% participants reported headache, muscle pain, malaise

Whilst JKJAV wait & see or worst still procrastinate …
Canada, South Korea, Bahrain, Spain, Italy, Germany, UAE are going ahead with the mix & match schedule

reuters.com/world/middle-e…
Is JKJAV considering ONE dose Pfizer or AZ vaccine only in post-COVID patients?
At least 7 studies showed a robust immune response
This Hybrid Immunity ramps antibodies 50X
This dose sparing strategy will save us 750,000 doses for COVID naïve Malaysians.

Selepas kajian Sepanyol, kajian UK juga sahkan bahawa:
1. Kombinasi AstraZeneca(AZ)-Pfizer(P) natijahkan respon antibody & sel memori melebihi AZ-AZ
2 Respon antibody tertinggi dgn P-P
3 Respon sel memori tertinggi dgn AZ-P

bbc.co.uk/news/health-57…
Kombinasi AZ-P:
1. atasi risiko darah beku AZ yang jarang berlaku namun lebih tinggi jika umur<50thn
2. tingkatkan perlindungan dari covid termasuk mutasinya
3. kombinasi lebih anjal
4. atasi isu kurang bekalan vaksin
MOH & JKJAV mesti pertimbang ASAP

reuters.com/business/healt…
Yg telah kena COVID, hanya perlu 1 dos Pfizer BUKAN 2!
COVID+Pfizer tingkatkan antibody 50X ganda!
Mcm ambil 2 dos Pfizer!
MOH & JKJAV jgn membazir vaksin Pfizer dgn memberi 2 dos kpd bekas pesakit COVID!
Alihkan 730K dos kpd yg tidak pernah kena covid.

In reality-No cases of ID are unlinked!
By it’s very virtue, ID means it’s linked from 1 case to another.
Sporadic or Unlinked is a temporary designation until investigation ie Contact Tracing (CT) uncovers the link-often part of a cluster or outbreak.
1st QR-based visitor logs tool for CT was @Selangkah_my Launched 5/5/2021
@my_sejahtera Check-In was launched 2/6/2021
What sets them apart?
1. The level of Analytic Sophistication
2. The ease of use for Health Care Workers (HCW)
CT automation means sifting through records of visitor logs & DO NOT require MANUAL corroboration.
By using patient’s phone number, @Selangkah_my algorithm sift thru millions of records, to create a list of “probable close contact”, ranked by its importance.

Agree our COVID-19 know how is evolving.
But needs to prioritise SCIENCE centric pandemic strategies.
Sanitised from Politics!
eg boosting coverage for Swak elections
Haven’t they learnt from Sabah PRN fiasco?

thestar.com.my/news/nation/20…
Good SCIENCE would prioritise vaccine coverage in HIGH INFECTION states!
Labuan-2109/100K
NS-707
KL-451
Sgor-394
S’wak-301
Sabah-Lowest Vaccine Coverage 12%
May sort out >70% of the nation’s COVID-19 nightmare!
And it makes good ECONOMIC sense too!
Sgor is the powerhouse of the nation.
Sgor contributed- 24.2% GDP
KL-16.4%
Sarawak-9.6%
Yet Sgor has the second lowest vaccine coverage
Is this political vendetta?
Just asking!

11-point KPIs of Public Health to mitigate & en-route to exit the COVID-19 pandemic.
5 KPIs focuses on a speedy and effective FTTIS response.

6 KPIs offers tangible metrics which are science based, realistic and doable.
If we carefully monitor these datasets it will enable, empower the authorities to:
a. gradually roll out our economic activities i.e. safety@work
b. re-open our schools i.e. safety@school
c. allow more social and sports programs i.e. safety@community
After >1 yr in operation, the crisis preparedness response centre (CPRC) should be reviewed & evaluated:
1. To strengthen its TOR
2. To better function as the nation’s COVID Nerve Centre
3. To reinforce public trust in the government’s pandemic response

Will NOT Mitigate Pandemic.
Only buys time to later unleash another COVID wave when the MCO is eased. Image
Attached is a combination of Key Performance Indicators (PH) to Mitigate the Pandemic En-Route to Exiting it.
The first 5 KPI emphasizes the Critical Importance of a Warp Speed FTTIS Response.
This is the back to basics of effective & efficient COVID-19 Pandemic Management. Image
The next 6 KPI offers Tangible Data which are:
1 Science-based
2 Realistic and
3 Doable
Meticulous & consistent monitoring of these datasets will direct the:
1 Economic rollout Safe@Work
2 Re-opening of schools Safe@School

Scotland Study on Vaccine Effectiveness (VE) of 2 doses AZ & Pfizer doses against all COVID and Symptomatic Infections.
Pfizer vaccine provides excellent protection against Delta variant
Less protection with AZ thelancet.com/journals/lance… [1]
Is it time to consider boosting AZ with Pfizer as second dose?
Heterologous boosting is safe [2]

thelancet.com/journals/lance…
Interim safety analysis in UK mix-and-match study, showed increase systemic AEFI in AZ-Pfizer heterologous vaccine schedule compared to the AZ-AZ , Pfizer-Pfizer homologous group.
And associated with increased paracetamol use.
Reassuring that the systemic AEFI were short-lived[3]
