From an MD: It probably won't harm you but won't benefit you a lot either. Better get it in spring next year or so.

My advice (I am an MD): take whatever you can get and don't rely on promises. Sinovac was the first vaccine to be developed, long trusted old school technology, and although the protection may be less than than that of other more sexier (mRNA) vaccines it certainly helps to get you less ill, avoid ICU and a graveyard. The rich countries are reaching the point of not needing as many, the companies will keep producing, so my guess is that the market will be flooded with many different vaccines. Next year you can upgrade your immune status with something else, I am sure.

Can you trust anything here? Its just the best i can do.

It is well known (by some, but quite a lot of Thais) that dirty farangs are responsible for the source and spreading of Covid. So in places like the BTS you get awkward looks or body language signs when you sit next to Thais. So I (proudly) wear a button stating I am vaccinated and even have a T-shirt with the same statement. It may also encourage others. I find it extremely important that as many people get vaccinated as possible to get out of the mess.
