I had an AstraZeneca first shot. I am scheduled for a second shot on October 15 of AstraZeneca. I would prefer Pfizer. Any suggestions as how to get Pfizer as a second shot? It does not seem that you have much of a choice. Government mandated. Most all of my friends have had 2 shots of Pfizer.

I am scheduled to get second AZ shot in October. Has anyone been able to change their second shot from AstraZeneca to Pfizer? Having had a first shot of AZ prior to October seems result in you getting banned from getting a Pfizer second shot. Anyone have any suggestions on how to arrange for a second Pfizer shot? People who suggest you wait until next year to get Pfizer booster shot probably have had 2 Pfizer shots already.

I used to have a non-O visa for years. Last year I returned to the US and had to reapply and get a non-OA visa to return to Thailand. I may return to the US before I have to renew the non-OA visa. Can I come back on a tourist visa and then apply for a non-O visa? I have trouble getting insurance and have had 800,000+ baht in the bank for several years. Is this plan workable or are there downside I am not aware of. I would prefer to avoid Visa agents unless absolutely necessary to stay in the country. I am not sure about canceling non-OA visa if I leave the country.

I had an AstraZeneca shot on July 23, 2021. I am scheduled to get a second AstraZeneca shot on October 15, 2021. Since I am booked to have AstraZeneca, am I ineligible to get Pfizer as a second shot? The prime minister of Canada and chancellor of Germany both had AstraZeneca first shots followed by mRNA seconds shots of vaccine. I assume they had good medical advice to mix the vaccines after getting the first AstraZeneca shot. Anyone have any idea who I can contact to see if having a first AstraZeneca prior to October precludes you from get a Pfizer second shot. I will reach out to Bumrungrad Hospital, where I got my first shot, to see if I can get the Pfizer as a second shot. Twice they have advised me I am ineligible for Pfizer second shot and must take AstraZeneca. I hope this new news on mixing AZ and Pfizer will allow them to give me the Pfizer as a second shot. My research on the internet leads me to believe that the mixing of vaccines gives a superior protection over two doses of AstraZeneca. I have another 6 weeks to see if there are any more studies on the AZ and Pfizer mixing of vaccines and their benefits and downsides.

I thought Moderna was to arrive in October. I also had a first AstraZeneca shot before they annouced the arrival of Pfizer. Everyone everywhere now refuses to give me a Pfizer second shot. I wonder if Moderna, which I paid for, arrives in October whether government will ban me from getting it as they seem committed to allowing only AstraZeneca as a second shot to non-important people. Doctors, nurses and other front line works can easily get Pfizer second shots or booster shots. Frustrating.
