Look at it this way, if your body reacts to the spike proteins like that, imagine just how sick you'd be if you got COVID

 

Good chance booster would not be as bad

That was the booster!

 

Don't get me wrong I understand that a 'bad' reaction is a good sign of vaccine efficacy. But it definitely isn't an annual flu shot!

Amusingly, once you get the booster (the 3rd shot), the printout sheet for the government database has a new blank yet ominous "4th shot" row ready to be completed. I suppose I'll look at June 2022 for that. 

 

I also discovered, that the hospital staff can now -- finally-- correct errors in the database. My passport no. was confused with my social security no. . I had tried to get this corrected without success several months ago.

Got Janssen en of last June, Moderna booster in October, re Moderna booster last Friday, and have an appointment for the next Moderna shot on April 16th. It all shows on Mor Prom, the next appointment included.

Pretty powerful stuff isn't?

I got Covid 3 weeks after second Moderna shot. Sister in law got it 1 month after Pfizer booster. The bad new is Omicron goes right around ALL vaccines. The good news is I still ended up in a Bangkok Hospital with very light symptoms and keeping anti body level up will keep most people alive.

Don't quite get how "ending up in a Bangkok Hospital with very light symptoms" is good news, especially after 2 shots of Moderna.

Being in a hospital after a positive COVID test here doesn't mean you are particularly sick though. They hospitalize just about everyone that tests positive, no matter how mild the symptoms.

 

My two grand-nieces had no symptoms whatsoever but still ended up in hospital for two weeks after testing positive.

That's what I meant. Getting hospitalised is going to be costly one-way or another. I thought it was possible to isolate at home now.

I think it depends where you live. I believe in some areas they're allowing people without symptoms to self-isolate at home while other areas are not.

 

Here in Hua Hin they still seem to be hospitalising everyone who tests positive.

That's what happens when you test positive at the test and go. You go straight to a hospital. Symptoms or no symptoms. You sound like I had a choice .

Where is this test and go you refer to? I do not believe what you describe.

They love people with good Insurance. So they can over charge the heck out of it  Was asked 4 or 5 times while I was in hospital. Total scam 

But your insurance  company  has to agree, in advance..My friend was asked if he had insurance and he answered in the affirmative but insisted on isolation at home.

You need to wait 6 months after Moderna second shot before you get booster. Is a doctor advising you to do this ?If so, He is nuts

Absolutely not, your info is stale. Boost is recommended after 3 months. In France you will be considered as "unvaccinated" after 4 months.

The timing of booster shot recommendations vary by country and the particular vaccine(s) given for the original two shots and the booster.

 

In Thailand, I believe the government's current policy for Pfizer and Moderna boosters is six months after for people who had two prior doses of either.

 

But if person had two prior doses of AZ, then the TH government's policy is to allow a Pfizer or Moderna booster dose three months after the second shot.

Not in Thailand. You dont insist anything to the Thai authorities. Insist on Isolation at home? What planet are you from? You are in their country.  

Wrong, My American Insurance company Blue Cross blue shield didn't need pre approval to cover me.

Government is the keyword here. The Doctor last week kinda said "you get what you paid for", so 3 months and 3 months. Which I Iike as it is consistent with the shifts seen in Europe, where booster vaccination intervals are getting reduced. Also when one looks at UK, France and Israel it seems that mix and match offer better results.

 

And there is no such thing as a "vaccine overdose", if there was it would be an haematoma. ????

Did the walk in in for Moderna vaccination at C.M.U, on Monday,

it was very well organised , and quickly had the injection, few

hours later shoulder sore and swollen , felt a bit off it for a 

couple of days , this never happened with the 2 AstraZeneca

vaccines I have had before, when there was no reactions at all,

nothing ,

Australia has also reduced the time to 3 months for the booster.

Had booster 3 weeks ago in Samut Prakan, hospital packed with people. Went to the front and told them my age, not waiting straight to the front with other old miseries. Bangpakok 3 Suksawat If over 60 they should bump you up the line

[bradiston]

Had my Moderna booster today, actually shot no. 4, after 2 x Sinovac and an AstraZaneca. Booked it last July and postponed it twice to allow 3 months between 3rd and 4th. Given by Piyavet hospital in Makasan station, 2nd floor. As usual, well organised, no crowds, and the bonus ball was, they update Mor Prom for you while you wait, print out a new certificate, and update your vax passport, if you have one. Total cost 1650, 1200 to book and 450 in the day. Back in July there wasn't much around so grabbed it. If you bought the same deal, easiest route by public transport is Makasan station. I went to Ekkamai from Pattaya, then Asoke, Sukhumvit MRT, Petchaburi MRT. YMMV.

[scubascuba3]

Had my 4th on Friday. 2xSinopharms + 2x Astrazeneca. Still haven't used my Moderna booster yet, waiting for gen2

[Jeffr2]

Got my 3rd Pfizer Friday.  Got first 2 in the US.  A bit under the weather the next day, but right as rain now!

[Scott]

I received my first two vaccines and booster with Pfizer with little or no reaction, just the usual sore arm and maybe a little fatigue.  I received a 2nd booster (in the US) due to an immunocompromising condition.  The 2nd booster was the 1/2 dose of Moderna.  I felt a little unsteady after having it, then I think feverish during the night and very, very tired the following day.  The second day, I felt fine.  The 2nd shot was 6 months after the last booster.

I got 2 shots of Sinovac last June at Phayathai II, courtesy of the Thai government. Just prior to that I also had signed up (and paid) for 3 shots of Moderna at the local Princ hospital. [That was during the "heyday" of "how the heck can I get vaccinated with anything anywhere at any price?" I think we all remember that rather turbulent period too well...]

 

Forward to last November the hospital announced the vaccines have arrived and started taking appointments. In January I took my 1st Moderna booster shot, and last Friday - 4 weeks later - I took the 2nd shot. [The "long" story was that Moderna stock came in as half-dose shots only and for full "boosting" effect I would need 2 shots 4 weeks apart - to make up for one full dose, as the story goes.]

 

The same nurse administered both shots. She spoke English "readily" and gave me the "long" story above as explanation. I had issued with the "half-dose" angle - paying full price and getting half dose? - but did not raise objection not wanting to give the cheerful nurse a hard time, beside I felt relieved/grateful that the paid shots finally got into my arm and did not go wasted (the 3th shot is for my other half later this year, who got AZ and therefore only needs one half-dose booster shot, so it's all squared off.) The nurse did the injections expertly. Both times I did not feel a thing, neither was a trace of blood anywhere when later at home I took the band-aid off.

 

Same reaction with both Moderna shots. Started to feel drowsy in the evening (Fri) and the next day (Saturday) suffering the full effect of having a bad flu. This morning (Sunday) waking up feeling rather "refreshed" and energized though a bit weak as if I had just recovered (from a bad flu.) Head cleared appetite returned and ready to go on full throttle so to speak. One "charming" final touch was when I asked the nurse will I - or she - need another booster shot 6 months from now? She answered, shaking her head, that "no, 6 months from now Covid will be...gone." It's rare to hear a Thai say "gone" in lieu of "finished."
