Muhyiddin announced on Tuesday June 15 that the nation's Covid-19 recovery plan would move into the second phase once cases drop below 4, 000 and about 10% of the population is fully vaccinated. So far, 19 Pikas vaccine dispensing centres PPV have started operations in Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, Selangor, Johor, Melaka, Negri Sembilan, Perak, Kedah, Penang and Terengganu.
NextPUTRAJAYA: Over 100,000 workers in the manufacturing sector have received their first Covid-19 vaccination dose under the Public-Private Partnership Covid-19 Industry Immunisation Programme Pikas.
The Pikas programme was also launched for critical manufacturing sub-sectors in Johor, Penang and Sarawak. Preclinical studies have demonstrated that PIKA recombinant COVID-19 vaccine is capable of inducing rapid and efficient production of neutralizing antibody and cellular immunity against the currently prevalent virus variants of SARS-CoV-2, including the alpha, beta, gamma and delta variants from the United Kingdom, South Africa, Brazil and India. As part of our commercialization strategy, we are about to finish the construction of a state-of-art manufacturing facility with annual production capacity of up to one billion doses to meet the future need of mass immunization.
YishengBio's other product candidates also include PIKA rabies vaccine, PIKA recombinant COVID-19 vaccine, PIKA YS-ON-001, and PIKA YS-HBV-001, PIKA YS-HBV-002, PIKA YS-ON-002 and PIKA influenza vaccine.
Preclinical studies have demonstrated that it has the potential to become a universal prophylactic and therapeutic vaccine against existing and emerging variants, including the alpha, beta, gamma and delta variants from the United Kingdom, South Africa, Brazil and India. Texas Instruments set up an in-house vaccination facility to vaccinate 2,371 of its workers. We appreciate the unified and swift steps taken by various healthcare authorities and collaborators in moving this program into clinical stage.
