Based in Sydney, Australia Topic: The Facts about COVID-19 Vaccines Translation Summary: A Rohingya Medical Professional, Dr. Kamal Hussein told VOA Rohingya Lifeline , our Rohingya community getting familiar with the terms related to vaccines (vaccine/Ka-kawe-sáy/Tika). A vaccine is to prevent infectious disease. It is different from antibiotics/antivirus, which kills or stop bacteria or virus already in the body causing the disease. There are so many COVID-19 vaccines currently under development using various technologies. A vaccine can be made up of many components of the virus in many ways. Like a foreign force, if we find a uniform, backpack, walkie-talkie, abandoned tank, or a runaway enemy, our government will activate the entire military to protect the country. In COVID-19 also, the vaccine developed on the inactivated virus (runaway soldier), spike protein (a backpack or a uniform), viral vector (abandoned tank), messenger RNA (walkie-talkie). Vaccine production has developed tremendously in the last decade. Pfizer BioNTech vaccine (modified mRNA encodes part of spike protein), Moderna (modified mRNA), Oxford AstraZeneca (viral vector), Sinovac (inactivated SARS-CoV-2), he added. There are common side effects of many vaccines such as pain, swelling injection site, fever, headache, muscle ache, etc. Those are temporary and taking Panadol could fix it. There are some serious side effects that may occur such as severe anaphylactic reactions (such as penicillin shock as known by Rohingya). Those are exceedingly rare, few in a million. Vaccination centers are equipped to deal with this kind of reaction. We wish no major side effect could surface later. He said, Pfizer and Moderna cost about $20 each and AstraZeneca cost about $2-3. Burma is trying to get $2 a dose of AstraZeneca manufactured in India. AstraZeneca vaccine is recently reported 95% efficient. I think this is fine. Vaccine production is closely monitored by WHO. One more factor of logistic and cold chain requirement is a factor too. Even if Pfizer vaccine is given free, Burma and India will struggle to maintain -70 C (-80 to -60 C) required environment. Other vaccines require only the usual cold chain of 2 to 8 C. I am sure Burma’s procurement of vaccine from India is fine to protect the population. .
