[Reporter Wu Liangyi/Taipei Report] Hon Hai founder Guo Taiming asked the Central Epidemic Command Center to purchase the BNT next-generation vaccine on the grounds that "the 97-year-old mother cannot get the BNT vaccine", and said that so many people in Taiwan have received the BNT vaccine , Why increase the risk of changing vaccines; Zhuang Renxiang, spokesman of the command center, said that the existing next-generation bivalent vaccine Modena can be used as an additional dose, and the United States also agrees that mixed vaccination is safe.

In response to Guo Taiming's request for my country to purchase BNT next-generation vaccines again, Zhuang Renxiang put forward a four-point response.

First, in addition to the 15 million doses of BNT vaccine donated by Hon Hai, TSMC and Tzu Chi, the command center later purchased an additional 7.66 million doses of BNT monovalent vaccine, and there are currently more than 1 million doses of BNT monovalent vaccine available for additional vaccination Dosage, and has repeatedly stated that the purchase of the BNT next-generation vaccine is "under discussion."

Second, Zhuang Renxiang pointed out that my country's ACIP (Ministry of Health and Welfare's Advisory Committee on Infectious Disease Prevention and Vaccination) recommends that Moderna's next-generation vaccine can be used as an additional dose of any combination of basic doses, unless serious side effects have occurred to the vaccine.

Third, the US NIH (National Institute of Health) research found that mixed vaccines against pneumonia are safe and can produce similar or higher antibody responses than vaccines of the same brand. Therefore, the US Food and Drug Administration has also approved mixed vaccines. way of playing.

Fourth, Zhuang Renxiang said that if the public really has doubts about the Moderna next-generation vaccine, they can receive the BNT monovalent vaccine as a second supplementary dose.

In fact, there are still about 4 million doses of Moderna's next-generation vaccine in my country, and there are still 15 million doses of vaccine contracts next year. There may be a large amount of vaccine remaining, which will have to be scrapped and destroyed after the due date.

The Moderna next-generation vaccine currently purchased in my country is the latest bivalent vaccine of BA.4/5, which also belongs to the mRNA category like the BNT vaccine.
