Victorian Acting Premier James Merlino says Melbourne is one of three leading cities in medical research and biotechnology, with a deal announced which will see the state produce millions of mRNA vaccine doses a year. The federal government has secured a deal with Moderna, with a plant to be built which will produce 25 million doses, including booster shots, each year from 2024. "This is a huge announcement," Mr Merlino said during a media conference on Tuesday. "This is the place to be - Boston, London and Melbourne, the three great leading cities when it comes to medical research and biotechnology." He said across Melbourne and Victoria there are at least 30,000 jobs in medical research and biotechnology across the industry, university and institutes, and 40 per cent of the nation''s medical technology and biotechnology companies are based in Melbourne. "So this is a great announcement and it''s the logical place to do it."

Pfizer Jab Is Only 23% Effective Against Omicron, South African Study Finds A few days ago, researchers in South Africa shared data from a preliminary study showing that the Pfizer vaccine is less effective at blocking the omicron variant than earlier variants like beta and delta. Now, the team is telling us exactly how much less effective the vaccine is. According to the same data gleaned from the blood plasma taken from 12 patients who tested positive for omicron, the team found that a two-shot course of Pfizer''s vaccine has just 22.5% efficacy against symptomatic infection with the omicron variant, though it can thwart severe disease, according to laboratory experiments in South Africa, according to Bloomberg. The data comes courtesy of a team of researchers at the Africa Health Research Institute in Durban. Though data has been pouring out about omicron, and sometimes individual studies reach opposing findings, the general consensus is that omicron will be able to more easily evade protection afforded from the first generation of vaccines - however, the scientists say that people will still be protected against severe disease and death.
