Omicron cases have been mild and in younger patients, South African doctor says

From CNN’s Naomi Thomas

Doctors in South Africa have so far observed that patients with the Omicron coronavirus variant are younger and have milder cases, and those who are hospitalized are largely unvaccinated.

“We’re seeing younger patients and we’re seeing milder cases of Omicron,” Dr. Mvuyisi Mzukwa, vice chair of the South African Medical Association, told CNN’s Brianna Keilar on New Day Wednesday.
“Also, what we’ve noted is that the people that are being hospitalized are largely unvaccinated, about 90% of those are unvaccinated.” 

Mzukwa said that very few people are being admitted to the hospital and the South African health care system is not under pressure.

“Obviously, we’re still gathering information as to the spread of this Omicron in the country, but it is not what it is touted to be out there,” he said, noting that the South African government has not put the country under any further restrictions. 
“There is nothing much that we see beyond what we have seen with the Delta variant,” he said. 

Asked about hospitalizations across the country, which have been seen as trending up over the last month, Mzukwa said that even in the province where the Omicron variant is concentrated, “we have not seen that much of hospitalization, all we see is that those patients that do get admitted are patients who are not vaccinated.”

SAMA supports approval for Pfizer vaccine for minors

Updated Sept. 13, 2021, 6 a.m. | By Eva Chipa

The South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) has approved the use of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine on children aged 12 years and older.SAHPRA says the decision was based on a review of updated safety and efficacy information.

It is the first Covid-19 vaccine approved for minors in the country.

“We believe that SAHPRA is within its own right to make that statement and also having followed all the processes. It is within their right to approve the use of Pfizer to children,” says the South African Medical Association’s Dr Mvuyisi Mzukwa.

“I’m sure they will collect data as to monitor the reaction or anything that in process may affect children while vaccinating. I believe we should do whatever we can to support the rollout,” 

This follows the official launch of South Africa’s vaccine trial on children last week with the SinoVac vaccine.

The study worldwide will enroll 14 000 children and adolescents in various pediatric age groups from 5 countries including South Africa, Chile, Philippines, Malaysia and Kenya.

“It’s important that as a country we don’t treat ourselves as province of other countries. We need to have our own data we need have our own trials. 

“It’s a good thing to know that in other countries it has been done, but within South Africa I do believe we need to have our own data that speaks to that,” says Mzukwa.
