Volunteers wanted for research on mixing Covid vaccines

The Center of Excellence in Clinical Virology at Chulalongkorn University is looking for volunteers who have had two different types of Covid-19 vaccine, its chief announced on Thursday.

 

The institute has now opened registration for people who have received one each of the Sinovac and AstraZeneca jabs, Dr Yong Poovorawan, a top virologist leading the country’s Covid-19 situation, posted on Facebook.

 

Volunteers must wait at least a month after the second dose to be tested on their immune response.

I would be pleased to mix mine with a little Jim Beam . . .  All in the name of science of course.

i am getting my AZ jab next week and i don't see how i can get 2nd jab on time, that's why i registered for Moderna in October. J&J would be a perfect vaccine in this situation, since it's required only one jab, but it's too late now. Then we are looking at 6 month booster (which is now questioned by virologists, as they think it's just a pharma exec trying to sell more vaccine), in any case, one jab of any vaccine is better than none.

I thought falangs were already the unaware designated guinea pigs?

Falangs actually are part of the study.  We’re in the control group…..those who receive no vaccine.

Same.

 

There's solid research now that AZ 1 dose with a mRNA booster is really decent. Countries like Canada even recommend mixing vaccines now. Studies in Spain and UK were also positive on it.

 

It's as solid plan as long as they manage to get moderna shots for october...

A tad nonsensical, do you think Governments will seriously just accept commentary on boosters without getting several opinions? The world is struggling just getting the first vaccines distributed as it is. Who comes up with this garbage? Where did you read that?

 

I am not saying boosters won't ever be needed, I am questioning the reason you put forward, viroligists make that call, always, not sales people. 555

Lets face it most people in Thailand have still not got their first shot, let alone 2 of them.  Specially  2 different ones.

Wouldn't y'all just love to be a guinea pig for Doctor Yong? Hands up!

Getting 1 jab is hard enough. Getting 2 plus 1...well just forget it.
