[Thread] What's happening with #COVID19 vaccine boosters in SA?
Nicholas Crisp, @healthza:
1. #Pfizer boosters (3rd shots) = approved this week for 6 mnths after a 2nd shot
2. The 1st group of people = vaccinated on May 17 (start of rollout) + would qualify 4 a booster on 28 Dec

2. Nicholas Crisp, @healthza:
1. @healthza needs a recommendation from the vaccine MAC before it can start with a booster rollout
2. If approved, the rollout will start in early Jan (not on the 28 Dec when the 1st person technically qualifies)

3. Nicholas Crisp, @healthza: When will people who got jabbed with #JnJ get boosters?
1. #JnJ applied for @SAHPRA1 booster approval on Thu
2. Sahpra = review application over the weekend + make a recommendation next week
3. #JnJ + #Pfizer boosters = rolled out simultaneously

3. #JnJ + #Pfizer boosters = rolled out simultaneously
4. Boosters + additional doses = different:
1. Boosters = because vax immunity wanes (#Pfizer booster: 6 mnths after 2nd shot)
2. Additional doses = 28 days after 2nd #Pfizer or 1st #JnJ shot 4 people whose immune systems = so weak that normal nr of jabs don't work well enough
