HONG KONG (REUTERS, BLOOMBERG) - People who are vaccinated against Covid-19 with BioNTech’s vaccine were found to have "substantially higher" levels of antibodies than those who received Sinovac’s jab, the South China Morning Post reported on Saturday (June 19), citing a Hong Kong study.

Some who received the Sinovac vaccine might need a third booster shot as well, the newspaper said, citing lead researcher Benjamin Cowling, an epidemiologist with the University of Hong Kong (HKU).

The government-commissioned study was conducted by HKU’s school of public health and involved tracking the antibody responses of 1,000 people who received either vaccine, the report added.
