英俄荷爆H5N8禽流感 港停止進口禽類產品

食安中心宣布，因應世界動物衞生組織通報指俄羅斯漢特曼西自治區和薩馬拉州、荷蘭格羅寧根及英國赫里福德郡爆發高致病性H5N8禽流感，已即時指示業界暫停上述地區進口禽肉及禽類產品，以保障本港公眾健康。

中心發言人表示，本港目前與俄羅斯只建立禽肉進口機制，並無禽蛋進口機制。根據政府資料，今年首9個月本港從俄羅斯進口約142公噸冷藏禽肉。同期，本港從荷蘭進口約4600公噸冷藏禽肉，以及從英國進口約8700公噸冰鮮和冷藏禽肉及約33萬隻禽蛋。中心已就事件聯絡俄羅斯、荷蘭及英國當局，並會繼續密切留意世界動物衞生組織發出關於爆發禽流感的消息，並因應當地疫情發展，採取適當行動。

Good news
Moderna's vaccine has a significant advantage over Pfizer's

Moderna announced this morning that its coronavirus vaccine is 94.5% effective against the virus, making it the second vaccine in the United States to have a stunningly high success rate.

Last week, Pfizer announced that early data show its vaccine is more than 90% effective against the disease.

While the two vaccines appear to have very similar safety and efficacy profiles, Moderna's vaccine has a significant practical advantage over Pfizer's.

Pfizer's vaccine has to be kept at minus 75 degrees Celsius — or about minus 103 degrees Fahrenheit. No other vaccine in the US needs to be kept that cold, and doctors' offices and pharmacies do not have freezers that go that low.

Moderna's vaccine can be kept at minus 20 degrees Celsius, which is about minus 4 degrees Fahrenheit. Other vaccines, such as the one against chickenpox, need to be kept at that temperature.

That means Moderna's vaccine can be kept in "a readily available freezer that is available in most doctors' offices and pharmacies," said Dr. Tal Zacks, Moderna's chief medical officer. "We leverage infrastructure that already exists for other marketed vaccines."

Another advantage of Moderna's vaccine is that it can be kept for 30 days in the refrigerator, the company announced Monday. Pfizer's vaccine can last only five days in the refrigerator.

Russia says as of November 16 more than 33,000 people have died of Covid-19. But that number is disputed by critics who say the Kremlin is underreporting the numbers.
"I think the real figure is [around] 130,000 people," said Alexey Raksha, a former government statistician who has made his estimates based on official data on excess deaths -- the number of fatalities above what would normally be expected -- to assess the toll of the pandemic.
