COVID-19 Sinopharm Vaccine & Booster

Sinopharm COVID-19 Vaccine is available @ MD International Medical Centre. Make a Vaccination or Booster Appointment at Tel: 6694 1661.

Sinopharm BBIBP-CorV vaccine has now been approved for use by private clinics in Singapore against the COVID-19 virus under the Special Access Route. It is the first China-made vaccine to be approved by the World Health Organisation (WHO).

To date, more than a billion doses of the Sinopharm BBIBP-CorV have been administered. The vaccine has also been approved for use in over 50 countries around the world.

Inactivated vaccines are a tried-and-tested form of vaccine technology which is used in other well-established vaccines, such as the Flu and Hepatitis B vaccines.

Effects of COVID-19 on the Brain

COVID Symptoms to watch out for:

SARS-CoV-2 Virus Infection of Human Organ Tissues through Cell ACE-2 Receptors:

Singapore Ministry of Health Recommendation:

For persons who have already completed their Primary series with mRNA vaccines and are recommended to get a booster, but are unable to take another dose of mRNA vaccines for medical reasons, they may boost using one dose of Sinopharm vaccine. The booster should be taken six months after mRNA dose 2 (M-M-S).

For persons who are unable to take the 2nd dose of mRNA vaccines for medical reasons, they may complete their vaccination with the Sinopharm vaccine. 2 doses of the Sinopharm vaccine is recommended to complete the Primary series. The 2nd Sinopharm dose should be taken 28 days after the 1st Sinopharm dose (M-S-S).

For recovered persons who had not completed a primary series before infection:

For persons who have recovered from a COVID-19 infection but received 1 dose or none of COVID-19 vaccination prior, they may receive 2 doses of the Sinopharm vaccine (28 days interval between doses), 3 months after the date of infection to complete a primary vaccination series (Recovered-S-S or S-Recovered-S-S or M-Recovered-S-S).

For persons who have recovered from a COVID-19 infection and had received 2 doses of Sinovac or Sinopharm vaccines prior, they may receive 1 dose of Sinopharm after 3 months from the date of infection to complete a primary vaccination series (S-S-Recovered-S).

Inactivated vaccines have been widely used for the prevention of emerging respiratory diseases for decades

This whole-virus inactivated COVID-19 vaccine has a low rate of adverse reactions and demonstrated immunogenicity (https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2769612).

Based on clinical trials, the most common side effects recorded were:

headaches
fatigue
injection site reactions

The most common adverse reaction was injection site pain, which was mild and self-limiting.

Who is eligible for the Sinopharm vaccine?

It is an inactivated COVID-19 virus vaccine suitable for 18 year olds & above, with no medical history of anaphylaxis.

The Sinopharm vaccine is an alternative option for people who have previously been found unsuitable to receive the mRNA vaccines. This would enhance vaccination coverage against COVID-19 in Singapore.

Sinopharm (Inactivated COVID-19 vaccine BIBP) is developed by China National Biotec Group (CNBG).

What is the Recommended Dosage?

According to WHO, it is recommended to receive two doses with an interval of 3-4 weeks between the first and second dose.

SARS-CoV-2 Variants

SARS-CoV-2 viruses undergo evolution. Some new virus variants may be associated with higher transmissibility, disease severity, risk of reinfection, or a change in antigenic composition resulting in lower vaccine effectiveness. The efficacy of the various vaccines have not yet been evaluated in a context of widespread circulation of variants of concern.

Sinopharm COVID Vaccine may be administered as a COVID Booster shot for 18 years & above.

If you are interested in getting the Sinopharm vaccine or booster, please make an appointment at MD International Medical Centre Tel: 6694 1661.

* The World Health Organization reminds of the need to maintain and strengthen public health measures that work: masking, physical distancing, handwashing, respiratory and cough hygiene, avoiding crowds and ensuring adequate ventilation.
