    A pandemic is easy to solve or control.  People's stupidity is something else.  Thai's scream  if you try to make things safer.  It is their right to do stupid things.  Remember when for safety reasons they tried to outlaw riding in the back of pick ups.

     

    While this country may be in the 21st century in 2022 they have the knowledge of and thoughts of Canada in 1960.

    Come on even in Canada we were told to sit down and not stand up in the car. The cars in Canada back then where made from steel not fabric

    Well, a liter was devised to weigh as muchas a kilo of water at a certain temperature. Not sure what the temperature is. but it doesn't apply to other liquids unless they are solutions specifically jiggered so a liter weighs a kilo. I don't know what percentage of the vaccine is composed of water.

    So it shouldn't be administered in mcg! I ly in MLs...... ????

    At any given temperature, does a liter of water weigh the same as a liter of vegetable oil? If you divide that by a thousand would a milliliter of water weigh the same as a milliliter of vegetable oil? There's a reason that oil floats on water. It's less dense. So, no, milliliters and grams are not interchangeable except in the case of water which was the standard used to create the these measures used in the metric system.

    It  litre not liter. Do you also have a Chinese phone?

    The usual recommended dose for a Moderna booster is 0.25 mL (50 mcg of vaccine).

     

    But I received the full Moderna dose (0.5 mL, 100 mcg of vaccine) as a booster at Sukhumvit Hospital. My friend received the same full Moderna dose as a booster at BNH.

     

    According to Moderna's published data, the 50 mcg dose increases antibody levels by 37 times, while the 100 mcg dose gives an 83-fold increase.

     

    We're already enjoying the extra antibodies.

    Yes take as much as you can.

    So that means that in this case, the odds are that one milliliter of vaccine does not weigh one gram. Right?

    There is no need to do any math: the measurement in milliliters and grams are always the same as I stated before.  

     

    Do you know why the French got away with metric?

    There is no water! WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS IN THE MODERNA COVID-19 VACCINE?
    The Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine contains the following ingredients: messenger ribonucleic acid 
    (mRNA), lipids (SM-102, polyethylene glycol [PEG] 2000 dimyristoyl glycerol [DMG], 
    cholesterol, and 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine [DSPC]), tromethamine, 
    tromethamine hydrochloride, acetic acid, sodium acetate trihydrate, and sucrose

    Thank-you for clearing that up. It is very confusing though that Moderna on their paperwork use milliliters and Singapore and Thailand (+ others) use micrograms on their websites. Why can't they use the same units of measurement for vaccine doses?

    It should be in millimeters the virus is a solution. Grams are equal to millimeters anyways just the incorrect unit.

    I'm confused by your post. The half dose is 50 micrograms for Moderna. I had it yesterday. Perhaps this link may help.

    Quote: (Singapore MOH)

    The dosages for booster vaccination by vaccine types are:

    • 50 mcg for the Moderna vaccine
    • 30 mcg for the Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty vaccine

    The booster dosage of the Moderna vaccine is less than the 100 mcg used for the first two doses. This is because data has shown that a 50 mcg dose effectively boosts the immune protection against COVID-19. If you have received a 100 mcg dose for your booster vaccination, there are no safety concerns in having done so.

    The booster dosage of the Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty vaccine is the same as that used for the first two doses.
    https://www.moh.gov.sg/covid-19/vaccination/faqs---booster-doses

    Read the fact sheet from the company it original it original was 1.0 ml thrn went down to 0.5ml and as a booster just.0.25ml

    I normal dose is 0.5ml which I recieved on Friday they no longer are doing 1.0 ml

    For a nationwide system it's just inconsistenly inconsistent.

    Thai's ask for your passport  before you take a <deleted>.  THAI ID number is enough  and they still have my number wrong.  Your passport number is on your drivers license. I will see if I get it sorted at khon khaen private hospital at 09:00am  it will be interesting what they do with my third vaccine and if they ass it ro my existing vaccine slip

    That seems logical. When should they take it?

     

    For all the guys who got 2 x Pfizer on expatvac, half dose of Moderna 6 months after?

     

    Three months and up.  I personally would not get another MRNA vaccine but would get a sinovac or astra
