SINGAPORE — Clinical studies have shown that the updated Moderna/Spikevax bivalent vaccine has the same safety profile as the original dose which had about six in 100,000 people reporting serious adverse events, said Health Minister Ong Ye Kung.

All who have reported serious adverse events after taking the vaccine have recovered or are recovering, added Mr Ong on Sunday .

The latest vaccination recommendations are three complete mRNA or Novavax doses or four Sinovac-CoronaVac doses for minimum protection. Addressing concerns surrounding the updated bivalent dose that targets the original SARS-CoV-2 strain and the Omicron BA.1 variant, Mr Ong said that clinical studies have proven that the dose has the same safety profile as the original Moderna/Spikevax mRNA vaccine.

He added that serious adverse effects are rare, with no cases of anaphylaxis or pericarditis/myocarditis observed in the clinical trial. The recommended Moderna/Spikevax vaccine dosage for this age group is two doses of 25 micrograms each, spaced eight weeks apart.
