I am very pro vax , and i am vaccinated myself with Pfizer , but unfortunate events do happen and a few people died getting the vaccine . Out of the 2 billion people , it is only a handful but still , they did die . This is not to give antivaxxers right , rather them shut up about it since they will certainly come around and jump on it .

The deaths , some unsure of the vaccine itself or the event of being vaccinated ( remember very old and fragile did get it 1st ) , but some are certainly linked as possible side effects . Like stated , i am talking about a few out of the 2 BILLION vaccinated , so chances of winning a lottery together with meteor crashing on you is near same chance , but it isnt 0 ( which is in fact impossible )

Sorry about the delay in replying but we just had an asteroid crash into my local bar. Now we have rescued the beer then I have to say I agree with you. In fact I would never say otherwise. You are fortunate to have Pfizer too but guess it will be another few light years, or an asteroid strike before it is available to us up country. Did you know that Lloyds of London, that well know international insurer as I am sure you know, once provided insurance against somebody being killed by an eagle dropping a stone on his head ? Fact.  Strange things happen, or not, in this world

Banglamung  AZ

 

There are 2 people reporting they had vaccines:

1) Peterw42 at Banglamgung, with AZ

2) rinmae2 "in Bangkok"

 

I am curious about 2)

Happy to report just back from a 10 am mor prom appointment (Pattaya), all dosed up with AZ vaccine. A really professional operation, original booking made on line app with pink ID, 

From arrival in the carpark to getting the jab took 20 mins, pink card etc processed just the same as Thais.

Plenty of staff, plenty of vaccines

Goodie.  Please keep us informed regarding your health over the next couple of weeks.  ????????

It was labeled AZ and the girl said it was AZ, the vaccine proof card you receive after says AZ (including batch No etc)

Unless there is a grand conspiracy going on, it was AZ.

Did you sign a consent?

You're welcome. I've lived here for 18 years, and only got mine in 2019...using my lawyer, getting my title deeds changed into a Blue & Yellow book, (after 16 years). It was a huge rigmarole, which I could not have done on my own, and it involved signing literally hundreds of photocopies of lord knows what. It was done at the district office.

antivaxxers

Antivaxxers is a pejorative the purpose of which is to shut down conversation.  I'd wager that most of those who you'd refer to as "antivaxxers" are in fact pro-safety, pro-caution, and have legitimate questions and concerns regarding the EUA vaccines many of which are still in live-trials being rushed and in some cases mandated for the public before being FDA approved and licensed for general use.
Having concerns about safety is not being "antivax" regardless of how you may wish to spin it.

The data is concerning imho but I've taken the time to look at it as have other.  Being concerned about adverse reactions to Covid vaccines does not make one an "antivaxxer" either.

US Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VEARS)
https://vaers.hhs.gov/data.html

UK Yellow Card Vaccine Adverse Reaction Reporting
Summary
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-vaccine-adverse-reactions/coronavirus-vaccine-summary-of-yellow-card-reporting
Detailed
https://coronavirus-yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk/

For those people who do not wish to investigate for themselves and simply accept that Covid-19 vaccines are completely safe, more power to you.  Sign the consent and take the shot. 
Me personally?  I want to see 5 years of study data before even considering an androvirus vector or mRNA vaccine. 
Caution does not make an "antivaxxer."  

In the meantime I wish Peterw42 the best and would like to keep abreast of his experiences as well as others who are stepping up to take the vaccines.

Assuming that AZ would provide that information on request, why would anyone need to do that?

If nobody ever needed to check anything then there would be no lawful requirement to show batch numbers etc would there ? Come on please, why do you think that is a lawful requirement ? 

I'm not disputing that there is a requirement for that information to be detailed.   I am suggesting that his trying to confirm that all is kosher with the vaccination he had by approaching AZ about it as a man on the street may not be as easily achieved as you suggest it should be.

Good stuff, thanks for sharing

Stop rambling man to attempt to prove a point you lost 2 posts ago. This is 2021 and it is rather a simple thing to do to for most people if they wish to. Now if there has been a health scare, adverse reaction etc then just allow the government to follow it up once it has been recognised as such. Most probably there will never be a need to as we all hope but to revert to my initial point to which you wish to be pedantic about  I said that with the batch number the where and when production details could be found. Simple - End off

You'd be surprised what information is not generally given out by corporate entities to the general public!

 

Didn't know I was in a competition with you, or that the results had been announced, but I am curious to know what makes you think that I lost in your contest of irrationality!

Congrats! When will you get your 2nd jab.

 

Great news!!

28th June which seems a short interval.

I have managed to register on the Government site for foreigners and my appt will be on the 1 January 1970 but no time or place given. Told I will be contacted by SMS.

 

Maybe the doctor will be Dr. Who and we will use the Tardis to go back in time!!!!!

There was an initial form with your details and a few medical history questions that you sign, I suppose that was also a form of consent

This will possibly come as a great disappointment to the anti-pink ID crew and the anti-Sinovacc crew.

 

Same here... used the ‘useless’ pink ID card to register with the Mor Promt app last month. 

Arrived at Med Park Hospital 45mins before appointment time, had received the Astrazeneca vaccine within 5mins of arriving and registering at the hospital - then waited 30mins (seems to be a precaution) then was issued a printed certificate of vaccination which showed batch number etc and appointment for 2nd dose (in late Sept) - in 16 weeks (which seems a long time).

 

Saw a couple of other Westerners arriving (either there to accompany their Wife or to receive the vaccine themselves). 

 

 

No websites or phones up here in the sticks,just old fashioned personal contact.

just had visit from lady on m/c. message being .please attend Amphur office 8am tomorrow to receive jab, only instruction was no coffee in morning.

will see what tomorrow brings

Haha... same here. My wife was telling me last night and all morning...  Stay hydrated, drink water, drink water, drink water...  then No coffee...  

After the vaccination I had another coffee and my wife reminded me that I shouldn’t drink coffee on the day I’ve been vaccinated !!! 

 

I had to remind her ‘its just a vaccine’ don’t get caught up with the hysteria.... 

 

 

I had my Yellow Fever vaccine a couple of years ago and I don’t think my wife gave it a second thought. Now with the Covid-19 vaccine the media is sending people into a frenzied panic !!!
