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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited July 27, 2021 by worrab Punctuation 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Popular Post anchadian Posted July 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2021 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. https://www.nationthailand.com/in-focus/40003811 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
