Medifast COVID-19 Pre-booster Vaccination Health Assessment

Medifast COVID-19 Pre-booster Vaccination Health Assessment

In order to reinforce the protection against COVID-19, COVID-19 vaccine booster regime is introduced in Hong Kong, to further enhance the efficacy of the vaccines. Meanwhile, health condition is the major concern for certain people, whether taking the COVID-19 booster shot is an eligible option. COVID-19 Pre-booster Vaccination Health Assessment has been launched, which incorporates the examination of cardiovascular disease risk factors, aiming to relieve any anxiety or doubt towards myocarditis. The assessment also includes two COVID-19 antibody tests, for tracking the antibody level after the booster dose, which also allows people to have a much more comprehensive preparation for the third dose.

What is COVID-19 Pre-booster Vaccination Health Assessmentdifferent from health checks related to COVID-19 vaccination from others?

In general, COVID 19 Pre-booster Vaccination Health Assessment caters for whoever received two doses of COVID-19 vaccines and whenever a booster dose is required. The pre-booster health assessmentwith the antibody test can be used to detect the antibody level after the original vaccination, and provide detailed medical reports about the health condition, hence they could determine whether to take the third dose. The main differences among us and others will be concluded as below:

• Included 2 times of COVID-19 Antibody Test
• Included scanning of cardiovascular disease risk factors (C-Reactive Protein (High Sensitivity))

Why would the scanning of cardiovascular disease risk factors and 2 times of COVID-19 Antibody Test be included in the COVID-19 Pre-booster Vaccination Health Assessment?

In general, certain numbers of the public are aware of the adverse reactions or health issues after booster dose vaccination, particularly towards myocarditis. Per the Centre for Health Protection, it is claimed that a third dose of BioNTech is highly recommended by experts which may elicit a much better immune response, while it is also respected and possible to take a third dose of Sinovac depending on the health conditions of each individual. COVID-19 Pre-booster Vaccination Health Assessment is, therefore, including the evaluation of C-Reactive Protein (high sensitivity), allowing the clients to understand if there could be any risk for potential cardiovascular diseases. Furthermore, with the 2 times of COVID-19 Antibody Tests, it is easier to track the level of antibodies, in which they could identify the necessity to receive the booster dose. Then, the second test could further justify the antibody level on the 14^th – 28^th day after the booster vaccination, whether it is adequate to protect against the epidemic.

Individuals who are classified as priority groups for receiving a third dose include:

• Certain groups of immunocompromised patients (e.g. cancer patients, organ transplant recipients, advanced-stage HIV patients and patients taking active immunosuppressive drugs). The third dose should be administered at least four weeks from the second dose.
• Those who have received two doses of Sinovac vaccine and with a higher risk of infection, including elderly aged 60 or above; healthcare workers; persons with chronic illnesses; and workers at increased risk for COVID-19 exposure and transmission because of occupational setting (e.g. personnel participating in anti-epidemic related work; personnel providing cross-boundary transportation or working at control points and ports). The third dose should be administered at least six months from the second dose.
