PM Has 2nd COVID-19 Vaccine Jab

[webfact]

 

BANGKOK, May 24 (TNA) – Prime Minister and Defence Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha received his second jab of the COVID-19 vaccine from AstraZeneca at the Bamrasnaradura Infectious Diseases Institute.

 

Reporters were not allowed to cover the event due to its small venue. The office of the government’s spokespersons broadcast the inoculation which followed the first jab of the prime minister on March 16.

 

On the occasion, Gen Prayut asked general people to have confidence in the efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines that his government procured, saying concerned officials carefully evaluated them and monitored the conditions of vaccine recipients.

Wants to promote AZ which is supposed to be produced in Thailand in the near future?

At the same time AZ got bad press unsettling many Thai people.

For a moment, I thought it was Anutin there to the right, pretending to be a nurse.

I bet it was/is Biontech Pfizer he received ????

[RichardColeman]

Is that a person - or mummy -  holding him down and stopping him running away ? 

[mtls2005]

Ten weeks between his two doses.

 

Is there some ideal interval, or acceptable range?

 

 

[edwinchester]

Does he get another ribbon or medal to wear now?

Because at that time, Sinovac wasn't recommended for those above 60 years old and he's 66 years old.

 

One shouldn't mix two different technologies because we don't know the side effects and effectiveness of mixing.

 

Astrazeneca and Sinovac both use different technologies.

 

The second shot should be taken 2-3 weeks after first shot so why is he taking it after 2 months?

The average is 2 to 3 weeks, don't know why he took so long.

Where do you have your numbers from?

None of the vaccines should be taken in such a short interval.

12 weeks is an ideal interval for AZ.

His is 10 weeks which is within an acceptable range.

Trials of mixed doses in the UK and Europe seem to prove it is safe and can even trigger a stronger immune response.

Don't think Sinovac has been recommended by anyone yet apart from Mr Joong at Chula.

21 days = 3 weeks; so your 12 weeks is 4 times longer.

It takes between 5 to 10 years to determine the safety of a vaccine.

 

So how can a small sample of just a one or two months prove anything? If that's the case, why go through clinical trials for more than 1 year if something can be 'proven' so easily?

 

Remember this virus has been around since Jan 2020 and only distributed recently in Feb 2021. Mixing technology is even newer with no proven clinical trials.

Based on good evidence of higher clinical protection, JCVI currently recommend that, ideally, an 8week minimum interval should be observed for the AstraZeneca vaccine.

One of many sources.

But I got enough now. Bye.

Totally agree that it will take years to prove beyond reasonable doubt that all these vaccine's are safe. Having said that techniques used to develope several of the vaccine's has been around for many years and are well understood and safe.

Why hasn't the PM had to wait 16 weeks, as reported earlier today...

AZ for him, Sinovac for the peasants.

The UK gap was 3 weeks initially and was extended to 12 weeks to get more first jabs done. That has now been reduced to 8 weeks. This is for both AZ and Pfizer and it has been found that AZ particularly is more effective with > 3 week gap. This after a mere 38 million have been done (not expected to be, will be or hope to be but real jabs)

Is he a messy curry eater then?

[brommers]

Shame. I feel sorry for him, trying to put a brave face on having his scary injection. No wonder his blood pressure was elevated when he was tested prior to being jabbed. Now he has had his second shot of AZ  I wonder what he is going to do about the fact that this vaccine is proven to be well nigh useless against the S African strain that is now in the wild in Thailand. After all the whole country is going to be equally unprotected and is expecting him to deliver a solution to this major threat.
