Two More Vaccines Recognized for Entry to Australia
TGA recognises two more COVID-19 vaccines not registered in Australia but used widely internationally
1 November 2021
Today, the TGA determined that Covaxin (manufactured by Bharat Biotech, India) and BBIBP-CorV (manufactured by Sinopharm, China) vaccines would be 'recognised' for the purpose of establishing a traveller's vaccination status. This recognition is for travellers aged 12 and over who have been vaccinated with Covaxin, and those 18 to 60 who have been vaccinated with BBIBP-CorV.
In recent weeks, the TGA has obtained additional information demonstrating these vaccines provide protection and potentially reduce the likelihood that an incoming traveller would transmit COVID-19 infection to others while in Australia or become acutely unwell due to COVID-19. The supporting information has been provided to the TGA from the vaccine sponsor and/or the World Health Organisation.
Importantly, recognition of Covaxin, and BBIBP-CorV, along with the previously announced recognition of Coronavac (manufactured by Sinovac, China) and Covishield (manufactured by AstraZeneca, India), means many citizens of China and India as well as other countries in our region where these vaccines have been widely deployed will now be considered fully vaccinated on entry to Australia. This will have significant impacts for the return of international students, and travel of skilled and unskilled workers to Australia. TGA's updated report on its advice about vaccines not registered in Australia but in use internationally can be found at: COVID-19 vaccines not registered in Australia but in current international use - TGA advice on "recognition".
In addition, with input from the TGA, ATAGI have determined that those who have received two doses of a TGA-approved or recognised vaccine at least 14 days apart are regarded as fully vaccinated from 7 days after the second dose (with the exception of Janssen vaccine, where they are regarded as fully vaccinated 7 days after the single dose). This includes homologous (two doses of the same vaccine) and heterologous (two doses of two different TGA-approved or recognised vaccines) schedules.
From 1 November 2021, vaccinated Australians and permanent residents aged 12 and over may depart Australia without the need to seek a travel exemption. Information about this, and what constitutes 'fully vaccinated', can be found at Travel for vaccinated Australians and permanent residents(link is external).

How Covid-19 vaccine patch could replace jabs
A needle-free Covid-19 vaccine is on track to become a “significant addition” to the global effort to stop the spread, according to scientists.
In a newly published study in the Science Advances journal, Australian researchers say they have developed a 1cm x 1cm skin patch that has been found to be “superior to traditional needle-and-syringe vaccination”.
The “microneedle patch” is a small plastic chip that is “administered with the click of a small, round applicator device” to the upper arm, explained the US-based Smithsonian magazine. The vaccine is then deposited via 5,000 tiny spikes, each about a quarter of a millimetre long.
The spikes are also made of plastic and “are so tiny that they don’t draw blood or trigger the nerve endings that sense pain”, the mag said.
Similar patches are being developed to enable diabetics to administer insulin and could “revolutionise” care, as the BBC reported after the technology was first unveiled in 2018.
Advantages
The University of Queensland team behind the Covid vaccine patch believe it may give greater immune protection than traditional needle injections. Tests on mice found that those treated with the patch developed “more coronavirus antibodies than those injected with the vaccine and were completely protected from getting sick, even with a single dose”, reported New Scientist.
The patch is also a good option for people with a needle phobia – a fear felt by at least one in ten people, according to the NHS.
University of Oxford researchers reported in June that a survey of more than 15,000 UK adults had found that those with an injection phobia were twice as likely to say they were hesitant to get a Covid vaccine.
The patches would also be easier to distribute as they can be stored at room temperature, unlike current Covid vaccines, which have to be refrigerated. Experts hope the patches “could eventually be sent through the mail or even delivered by drones in hard-to-reach places without reliable cold storage”, said Smithsonian mag.
And since the patches can be self-administered, they could be ideal for communities without access to trained medical staff too.
“We wanted to come up with an alternative that would be stable long enough to go that last mile, especially in resource-limited settings,” virologist David Muller, part of the team behind the development, told New Scientist.
Disadvantages
The patch may have some side effects. Smithsonian said that “like any vaccine”, it may “leave your arm feeling sore because it delivers an agent that’s meant to stimulate an immune response”.
The patch “also produces some redness that usually goes away over the course of a few days”, the mag added.
Timeline for roll-out
The Covid-19 patches have only been tested on mice so far. Scientists and Massachusetts-based biotech company Vaxxas, which is manufacturing the patches and applicators, are aiming to begin human trials next year.
Although skin patch vaccines for Covid “may still be a few years away”, said Smithsonian mag, “many experts predict that the coronavirus will become endemic, and it’s possible that booster vaccines will be needed regularly.
“An easy-to-apply, shelf-stable vaccine option could help ensure that more of the world’s population is vaccinated.”

does not draw blood.... I should hope not its not an intravascular injection! has anyone been following Dr Campbell on you tube and his concerns about the lack of Aspiration during vaccination?AndyKK wrote: ↑Wed Nov 03, 2021 4:59 pm How Covid-19 vaccine patch could replace jabs

From Facebook today.
BIG HITCH WITH AUSTRALIAN RECOGNITION OF SINOPHARM
This is an important update to an earlier news item on Siem Reap Daily News which said that the Australian government now recognizes Sinopharm Covid vaccine.
New advice from Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration now says there are two types of Sinopharm vaccine: one from Beijing and the other from Wuhan.
Only the Beijing variant is recognized by the Australian government.
Vaccine cards that simply say “Sinopharm” will not be accepted. The code number for the Beijing variant must be included.
For information about how the two variants are identified check the Australian passport section on the Australian Embassy in Phnom Penh website.

Sinopharm brand names
There are two kinds of Sinopharm vaccine. One is from Beijing and one from Wuhan, although both may also be produced at other locations.
Only the Beijing vaccine is recognised by the TGA. A certificate shows the Beijing vaccine if the brand name contains the expressions ‘BBIBP’, ‘BIBP’ or ‘Covilo’.
Sinopharm brand names can also include other expressions such as ‘Cor‑V’ and ‘Vero Cells’. These are not relevant to whether the vaccine is recognised by the TGA.
Examples of acceptable brand names on a vaccination certificate include:
Sinopharm BBIBP-CorV
Sinopharm BBIBP
Sinopharm BIBP-CorV
Sinopharm Covid Vaccine BIBP
Sinopharm Beijing
BBIBP-CorV
BBIBP (Vero Cells)
BIBP
BIBP-CorV
Sinopharm Covilo
Covilo
Examples of unacceptable brand names on a vaccination certificate include:
Sinopharm
Sinopharm WIBP
Sinopharm Wuhan
‘Sinopharm’ by itself is not acceptable on a certificate because there is no way of telling whether it refers to the Beijing or Wuhan vaccine.

Re: Two More Vaccines Recognized for Entry to Australia
Well I wasn't exactly planning on going to Australia, but my vaccine cert just says Sinovac. I think I'll need to get a Johnson & Johnson if I want to travel. A couple of friends got that recently for $100.

Re: Two More Vaccines Recognized for Entry to Australia
I expect that this will affect every Khmer that has had the Sinopharm vaccine planning on going to Oztralia.
My wife's card just says 'Sinopharm', so I scanned the QR code hoping that there may be more info in the database.
The database shows no more info than that shown on the card. Back to square one.

Re: Two More Vaccines Recognized for Entry to Australia
People don't get much of a choice, they get the vaccine provided by the government of the day, but when it comes to travel not all vaccine's are equal, what a complete shit show.
Maybe Scotty is playing games with china on this.
