Ok. Well like I said the opposite side from MRT is where you get in. The number doesn't seem to matter that much you will get directed. As for a super spreading site with that many people you have to assume someone is positive. Everyone wearing masks and from what I saw wearing them properly. Side effects for me are not too bad today. Yesterday was very ordinary. Good luck. Your nxt one will be in October.

I arrived back in Thailand from the UK in May so know many people fully jabbed. The post jab reactions seemed to be quite random and individual. Ranging from nothing to headaches and feeling like poop and staying in bed for a couple of days. Difficult to explain. I am a fully qualified wimp when it comes to needles and had nothing other than a sore arm. Best wishes to thoses getting jabbed here this week.

What vaccination have you received and which brand. 

What vaccination has 30yr olds in Oz received? 

 

It should have been "Thailand reports 14150 new cases, highest number on a Tuesday"...

I've had no covid vaccinations and don't intend to get any as I believe I've already had the virus last year.I've had plenty of vaccines for other things like the diphtheria one a few months ago.I've also tried a couple of flu vaccines in the past.I have heard the some 30 year olds have had both the Pfizer and AZ vaccines in OZ by people gaming the system and I believe they can have AZ by consulting with a GP but I'm not certain about that.

As COVID-19 rages in Southeast Asia, regional governments are racing to roll out their national vaccination programmes. In the second part of a series, CNA looks at how Thailand has been hamstrung by an uncertain vaccine delivery schedule.

But you are missing the point. We all would like to get vaccinated but, for myself, I am unable to do so. And as I have asked previously, being 66 years old, why is that all of a sudden it has been decided that Sinovac is okay for us when previously this was not the case? Where is the medical backing of Sinovac and AZ? And Sinovac is still not accepted worldwide and no good if I have to fly! We will all get vaccinated but only if it is acceptable to our case. It may just take a bit longer but it will happen.

You making this stuff up. Here are your words to me in your first post.

 

"So you're willing to put your family and the community at risk of dying until you can get a vaccine of your choice even if it takes another 6 months?"

 

Can't make this stuff up.

As I mentioned previously....don't lecture, especially when you can't even follow own advice.

10:05 Several groups of medics gather in front of the US embassy in Bangkok to submit a petition demanding that the US government ensure transparency in the distribution of the US-donated Pfizer vaccine in Thailand.

Actually, thinking about it, there should be some mechanism to direct Pfizer to those people who are advised not to have AZ due to a pre existing condition, such as blood clotting. Such a policy would require a medical process to be put in place over and above the “bare your arm and we’ll stick a needle in it” approach currently being used.

 

atm if there is a medical reason why you should not take AZ, then you are out of options other than 2 sinovac jabs and whilst that may help somewhat, even the Thai government seems to recognize that it is not ideal against the delta strain.

I think you also have to bear in mind that the Sinovac then AZ combination is not a proven route to go. And why has Sinovac suddenly become okay for the over 60s? I still cannot even get AZ and I am registered at my local hospital! I would be doing the same as DrJack54 and another reason is if I have to fly back to UK, Sinovac is not accepted. It is a case of each to their own as we all have different circumstances. Where I live I cannot see any vaccinations coming anytime soon especially Pfizer etc. We are waiting on Moderna to make an appearance, hopefully in Oct which we have registered for.  

Sorry worrab I was being sarcastic.People should be free to choose if and when they get vaccinated and be able to choose which vaccine they wish to receive without and coercion.I'm against any restrictions placed on people who don't get vaccinated as has started happening in France and has been hinted at in Oz.Some have said that by not getting vaccinated that they are putting lives in danger and agree with restrictions on unvaccinated people.

I really do not think you can preach to us for one minute. And just because you may have had the virus last year, as far as I am aware, does not stop you catching it again! I think you better quit now before you dig a deeper hole.

Having just read your apology, you do need to be a tad careful as to how you approach this delicate subject.

Stay in, stay safe, pleads doctor as Thailand’s Covid cases continue to soar

 

A doctor in Tak’s Mae Sot district expressed her frustration at the current situation, saying frontline medics are under too much stress and depressed over the soaring infections and deaths.

“More and more Myanmar workers are found infected in factories. Some are already in a severe condition, while some have died in their homes.

 

Thais aged below 40 need ICU beds, while some seniors die at home. This is a tragedy nobody wants to happen,” she wrote in the “Story of Border Doctors” Facebook page on Tuesday.

Personally, I think that’s fine. I have no problem with a few tourists being around, so long as the government is taking action based on sound medical advice. If that means closing stuff and the tourists suffer alongside the local population, so be it.

 

the projection that cases will level off at 20 over the next few days seems incredibly naive. The implication seems to be that that level of cases is expected based on people currently known as being extremely high risk. But of course there are other cases. And if they were to publish timelines with locations where infected people have been, then others would come forward for testing and possibly found to be positive. Probably why they don’t do it I expect.

As long as an unvaccinated person poses a higher threat to people than a vaccinated one, I sure hope so. Deliberately risking other people's lives or risking their livelihood is for some strange reason not popular with the majority.

Although it is more likely for transmission from unvaccinated to unvaccinated is also possible to have transmission from unvaccinated to vaccinated, vaccinated to unvaccinated and vaccinated to vaccinated. Waining immunity is also a factor.

That didn't work ???? I never leave home without a N95 8210 respirator mask and hand sanitizer, even to just receive a package at the gate. I never go out except for buying food. I don't accept visitors. This will go on until I get vaccinated. I'm in Udon now so it'll probably take several months but what can I do. I am old and oldfashioned. It's the right thing to do

I need to clarify a bit. I didn't write the bold part well:

I cut the grass without mask, I don't get near anone without wearing a N95

Nah no sarcasm there so no misunderstanding on your part.So now we must ensure that everyone must get vaccinate every year for the flu because the flu also kills people and to not vaccinate against the flu is deliberately risking other people's live and it has been thus a long time before this virus came along so are you accusing every who hasn't been vaccinating against the flu of deliberately endangering the lives of those that died of the flu?Oh that's right this is different because it's not the flu even though the flu has been killing people for a lot longer than covid has.
