Also got achy legs and the injection sight ached for about 2 months. Problem as I see it, is I'm more likely to have to go through it again here in the UK with a booster before Thailand opens properly ! Has the UK issued any policies about getting a booster?

Presnock Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 my foreign insurance company said they will pay for the shot no matter where I get it. Then yesterday I got a message from the company that they will give me a $50.00USD gift if I get a vaccine shot. On a different note, the US is now advising people that get the 1st AZ shot, the second shot should be from pfizer! Don't know about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandtee Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 My wife is having her jab tomorrow. She seems to think it's akin to open heart surgery. She has just returned with a weeks shopping and warned me that I could be on my own while she is recovering. I told her it's only a little <deleted>. Her reply was ...........????

We do not yet know how long lasting the immunity conferred by vaccination is. The other factor, besides duration of protection, is how effective vaccine-generated immunity is against new variants.

She informs that she has a mild fever right now. Being a Thai of age mid-30s I wonder how she got that particular brand as I had been led to believe only the over 60s qualified for anything other than Sinovac but, nevertheless, kudos to her for getting that sorted out so soon after the gov't official roll-out date. Personally I will be waiting for Moderna late Oct '21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandtee Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 We seem to have come along way since the era of taking medicine safety for granted. Opium in cough syrup. Codeine for headaches and Thalidomide which caused deformities in babies are classic examples. Now, by just reading posts by TV subscribers we know almost as much as the medical profession without having to study for years.???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tosh. The anti-vaxers and pharma-skeptics here obviously know far more than the medical profession. And it only took them a short while watching totally unqualified, self-proclaimed experts on Youtube and Facebook to acquire their insights. Quite frankly, I think we should scrap all medical schools as a waste of money and give wouldbe physicians subsidised access to social media.

Gandtee Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 My wife had her jab today. She is over 70. They had run out of AZ and offered her a postponement or Sinovac, which she accepted. No side affects as yet except for an amazing ability to speak mandarin. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4 common cold causing Alpha and Beta coronaviruses contribute to approximately 20% of common colds. Human Rhinoviruses of which there are over 100 different types cause between 10% and 40% of common colds. Human parainfluenza viruses (HPIV) cause about 20% of colds, usually the more severe type of cold. Also Respiratory Syncytial viruses (RSV) are also a cause of the common cold. Allergens also cause a large number of colds. Finally, about 20% colds are presumed to be caused by viruses as yet unidentified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
