Taiwanese vaccine maker Medigen on 24
January 2022 announced that the latest research data shows a booster shot of
its covi vaccine MVC-COV1901 leads to increased levels of neutralizing
antibodies that provide protection against the Omicron variant (Covi29).In a press release, the company announced that a
trial involving 200 participants who had received two doses of the AstraZeneca
vaccine found 5.7 times more neutralizing antibodies against Covi29 one month
after a Medigen booster. The trial was conducted at Taoyuan General Hospital,
and the results have been submitted to preprint website medRxiv.
The company pointed out that serum samples
from participants in the study who received two AstraZeneca doses had
originally shown low neutralizing antibody levels for Omicron. However, samples
taken one month after they had gotten a booster shot of the Medigen vaccine
showed the antibody concentration against Omicron was much higher than the
benchmark, with a 5.7-fold increase.
In addition, Medigen is collaborating with
the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) on a study on mixing
two doses of AstraZeneca, Moderna, or Medigen with one of the two other brands
as a booster. The trial will be carried out at National Taiwan University
Hospital, Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Wanfang Hospital, and Kaohsiung
Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital.
According to Centers for Disease Control
data, 1.51 million people in Taiwan have received two doses of the Medigen
vaccine, comprising 4% of the 36.17 million doses delivered. Thus far, 112,838
people have opted for Medigen as a booster shot.

Chen Zongyu pointed out that mustard greens are always cooked in biannual vegetable soup, with a little spareribs, that is, mustard vegetable spareribs soup, and can also be fried with meat or seafood, because the dish itself has a bit of bitterness, and some people do not like it.
As long as the boiled mustard greens are soaked in cold water, the water will reduce the mustard greens' bitterness but the relative nutrients will also be lost.
Chen Zongyu suggested that the bitterness of mustard greens comes from the great glucosinolates. It is recommended that people not reject bitterness.
If you are tired of eating big meals during the New Year and festivals, you can have some mustard greens to adjust the stomach, refreshing and no burden.
