By Teodoro B. Padillahe United States is one of the newest additions to the list of countries that are, or soon will be, imposing a coronavirus disease 2019 testing requirement on visitors coming from China, a highly populous country which is just emerging from a three-year lockdown. Apart from the US, other countries requiring COVID testing on people flying in from China are Japan, India, Italy, the UK, France, Australia, Canada, Spain, Malaysia, South Korea, Morocco, Qatar, and Taiwan.
“We should remain vigilant and focus on vaccinating target populations to achieve herd immunity,” said Jannette Jakosalem, vice-president of the Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Association of the Philippines in a recent interview on ANC. The bivalent COVID-19 vaccines have received emergency use authorization from regulators in a number of countries. These new generation vaccines include a component of the original virus strain to provide broad protection against COVID-19, and a component of the Omicron variant to provide better protection against COVID-19 caused by the Omicron variant. These are called “bivalent” COVID-19 vaccines because they contain these two components.
“There is reason to be optimistic in 2023. We are in a much better position now than we were in January 2022 when the country was hit by the highly infectious Omicron variant,” said Ms. Jakosalem.
