SHANGHAI, CHINA – Media OutReach – 20 January 2023 – On January 20, 2023, Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical (Group) Co., Ltd. (“Fosun Pharma” or “Group”; Stock Code: 600196.SH, 02196.HK) announced that COMIRNATY® Original/Omicron BA.4/BA.5 bivalent COVID-19 vaccine (also known as COMIRNATY® Bivalent COVID-19 Vaccine) is officially approved as a regular imported vaccine by the Pharmaceutical Administration Bureau of Macao Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (“Macao SAR”). It is indicated as a booster dose for individuals aged 12 years and older who have completed the primary vaccination course against COVID-19. After this approval, people in need can now receive the COMIRNATY® vaccines at qualified medical institutions, which are approved by the Health Bureau of Macau Special Administrative Region, in Macao SAR, with a local medical prescription.

In May 2022, the monovalent COVID-19 vaccine COMIRNATY® (30 mg per dose) (also known as BNT162b2 or COMIRNATY® Original) for people aged 12 years and older was officially approved by the Pharmaceutical Administration Bureau of Macao SAR as a regular imported vaccine. Since November 1, 2022, the self-paid COMIRNATY® Original vaccination service has opened for non-local residents in Macao SAR, which is indicated as a primary course of vaccination against COVID-19 for individuals aged 12 years and older.

Starting from November 1, 2022, the Chinese government resumed the e-visa application for travel to Macao. On the same day, the self-paid COMIRNATY® Original vaccination service for non-local residents of Macao has been officially put into operation in the University Hospital of Macao. In order to meet the growing demand for vaccination, the second self-paid vaccination site in Macao, Kiang Wu Hospital, has been put into operation officially since December 21, 2022.

For the self-paid COMIRNATY® Original vaccination service for non-local residents of Macao, customers can make an appointment and pay through the GoSmart online platform designated by the supplier, Jacobson Pharmaceutical (Hong Kong) Limited. As for the self-paid COMIRNATY® Bivalent COVID-19 Vaccine, customers can make an appointment to get vaccination in Macao through the Fosun Health platform or other designated cooperation platforms after the self-paid vaccination service of the COMIRNATY® Bivalent COVID-19 Vaccine is officially put into operation in Macao SAR.

COMIRNATY® Bivalent COVID-19 Vaccine can effectively deal with Omicron sub-lineages

COMIRNATY® Bivalent COVID-19 Vaccine, an effective deal with Omicron sub-lineages, is an iteration and supplement to the COMIRNATY®, a monovalent COVID-19 mRNA vaccine (BNT162b2) which is already in the market. The COMIRNATY® Bivalent COVID-19 Vaccine contains 15-µg of mRNA encoding for the spike-protein of the wild-type of SARS-CoV-2 and 15-µg of mRNA encoding for the spike protein of the Omicron BA.4/BA.5 sub-lineages of SARS-CoV-2.

Clinical data from an ongoing Phase 2/3 trial demonstrated a robust neutralizing immune response one month after a booster dose of the COMIRNATY® Bivalent COVID-19 Vaccine. One month after a booster dose of the bivalent vaccine, Omicron BA.4/BA.5-neutralizing antibody titers increased 13.2-fold from pre-booster levels in adults older than 55 years of age and 9.5-fold in adults 18 to 55 years of age. These results suggest that a booster dose of the bivalent vaccine may induce a higher level of protection against the Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 sub-lineages than the monovalent COVID-19 vaccine.

In addition, as the Omicron BA.4/BA.5 subseries variant virus (including BA.4.6, BA.2.75.2, BQ.1.1 and XBB.1) that is currently raging in many Asian countries and regions, the COMIRNATY® Bivalent COVID-19 Vaccine produced a higher immune response comparing with the monovalent COVID-19 vaccine. The safety and tolerance of the two vaccines were similar. An analysis of the antibody response of the COMIRNATY® Bivalent COVID-19 Vaccine to the new substrain of Omicron virus showed that after inoculation with COMIRNATY® Bivalent COVID-19 Vaccine, the titers of neutralizing antibodies against BQ.1.1 and XBB.1 increased respectively by 8.7 fold and 4.8 fold.

On March 16, 2020, Fosun Pharma and BioNTech announced a strategic collaboration to develop and commercialize COVID-19 vaccines based on BioNTech’s mRNA technology platform for Greater China Market, including the Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong SAR, Macao SAR, and Taiwan region. COMIRNATY® Original has been authorized for emergency use (EUA) for the government vaccination program in the Hong Kong SAR and Macao SAR since March 2021. Vaccination was commenced in the Taiwan region in September 2021. In November 2022, The Health Bureau of the Hong Kong SAR granted Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for a booster dose of an Omicron BA.4/BA.5-adapted bivalent COVID-19 vaccine for individuals 12 years of age and older. In addition, the Pharmaceutical Administration Bureau of Macao SAR granted a Special Import Authorization for the Omicron BA.4/BA.5-adapted bivalent COVID-19 vaccine for individuals 12 years of age and older. The COMIRNATY® Bivalent COVID-19 Vaccine has been vaccinated for the public in Hong Kong SAR and Macao SAR under the government vaccination programme since December 1, 2022.

Fosun Pharma has started to provide COMIRNATY® Bivalent COVID-19 Vaccine to the private medical system in Hong Kong SAR since January 6, 2023. People in need will be able to receive vaccines at their own expense at clinics or medical institutions that provide the COMIRNATY® Bivalent COVID-19 Vaccine.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 20 January 2023 – Maven Lab, an Omni Channel Communication Company provider based in Singapore, has been listed as a Participating Aggregator (PA) under IMDA’s Full SMS Sender ID Registry Regime, also known as the Full SSIR Regime. Through this, Maven Lab’s SMS solution – Moobicast, is equipped to protect mobile users from receiving spoofed messages.

The Full SSIR Regime is an initiative that was first publicly proposed on August 2022 by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA). According to the proposal, all organisations that deliver SMS with Sender IDs to Singapore mobile users are required to register their Sender IDs under the SSIR. In addition, organisations may only engage with SSIR-affiliated SMS “Participating Aggregators” or SMS service providers.

Intended to strengthen the SMS communications channel for Singapore consumers, the public proposal received favourable responses from organisations and SMS service providers. Following extensive evaluation, the transition to the Full SSIR Regime will be effective as of 31^st January 2023.

As an approved Participating Aggregator, Maven Lab aims to support the Singapore government in safeguarding consumers and helping organisations promote a secure digital communication space. To further support this, Maven Lab has also implemented a solution for managing whitelisted and blacklisted Sender IDs in accordance with business requirements and IMDA guidelines. This feature allows organisations to construct a list of approved and unapproved Sender IDs to filter communications and ensure smooth delivery. This helps to prevent the transmission of potentially inappropriate or fraudulent messages.

Maven Lab aims to empower organisations consistently by providing solutions that drive traffic, increase revenue, and promote brand loyalty in a safe digital landscape. In addition, the company strives to establish itself in the communication scene by reinventing the way organisations connect with their clients in order to improve customer engagement and effortlessly achieve corporate goals.

Since its inception in 2006, Moobicast has been dedicated to helping businesses and organisations of all sizes achieve their online communication needs through various solutions. The company has branched from an SMS marketing provider to one that offers a more comprehensive range of communication services, such as WhatsApp, to suit the needs of its clientele.

Presently, the company provides an array of communication tools, including SMS API, WhatsApp API, Live-Chat, Facebook Messenger, LINE-Chat, WeChat services, two-factor authentication, and more, to support organisations in all their communications requirements. Other widely-used solutions, including mass SMS messaging, are also offered to meet current trends. Their expansion supports their mission of aiding businesses in transitioning from discontinuous conversations and non-directional marketing to one that promotes engagement.

Fewer than half of Hong Kong millennials are satisfied with overall health and wellbeing

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 20 January 2023 – Millennials in Asia care about health and wellness and they are willing to spend on what they care. According to a survey by Bupa, over six in ten Hong Kong millennials consider themselves health conscious, but fewer than half (48%) are satisfied with their overall health and wellbeing, the survey found.

Bupa surveyed over 500 Hong Kong millennials aged 25-40 to examine their health and wellness trends and habits. The survey discovered that millennials today care deeply about their wellbeing, but struggle with how to prioritize it. They struggle to get enough sleep, to find healthy meal options during the hectic work week, and to do regular exercise. The survey also revealed a number of workplace-specific wellness concerns, ranging from eye strain to back pain to managing mental stress.

While previous generations saw “good health” as the absence of illness, millennials take a far broader approach. They largely view health and wellness as holistic: encompassing diet and exercise, mental health, emotional wellbeing, positive daily practices like meditation, pastimes that promote personal development, social and community support from peers, and a good night’s sleep.

Millennials face a number of barriers to achieving the healthy, balanced life they seek. There are external factors such as long working hours and social obligations, plus internal factors like lack of motivation or simply not knowing where to start. On top of all these, there’s COVID. Since early 2020, lack of access to sports facilities, less time with friends and family, and the stress of living with a global pandemic have impacted the health of everyone.

Andrew Merrilees, Managing Director, Bupa Hong Kong, said, “The unmet health and wellbeing needs of Hong Kong millennials represent both an opportunity and an obligation. There is a white space in the market for products and services capable of helping millennial consumers overcome the gap between their wellbeing ambitions and their current state of knowledge and ability.” With 70% of millennials wanting to learn more about health, but only half proactively seeking out health-related content, they need the market to come up with solutions which are engaging and accessible.

In addition, workplaces can do more beyond health coverage to look after employees. Millennials, and certainly the incoming generation of Gen Z employees, want to be connected to holistic wellness resources where they can find education and encouragement around diet, exercise, sleep and more. It is a move from “sick care” to “well care”, one that brings holistic health to the forefront.
