riclag Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I think it depends on the Province in many cases on what they will give you ,Az or Svacc. Just like anything else in Thailand ,each Province does things differently ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavisH Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 58 minutes ago, bougnat said: Whether on the initiative of an individual or a government, if the mixture is dangerous it remains dangerous in all cases! The WHO are erring on the side of caution, due to a lack of evidence of the effects of mixing vaccines. This is why they are discouraging it. There is no evidence so far that mixing vaccines is dangerous. Remember, the actual vaccine only lasts a couple of weeks in the body before it's destroyed.

I am booked for Moderna in October, could I get the Sinovac next month too? Moderna uses the mRNA technology so it's better not to use different tech. You can mix Moderna with Pfizer because both use mRNA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuwadeeS Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Quite funny. Since many Thais I have spoken, deny Sinovac where is CP Group involved. So, as it it is documented, that it does not protect very well, they will give it to the foreigners. ...... the new Pfizer donation of the U.S. will be given to them. Disgusting.

Popular Post cjinchiangrai Posted July 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2021 4 hours ago, grandpa said: I know that I am prejudiced against Sinovac, based on research findings reported in these hallowed pages, which showed that Sinovac loses 50% of its efficacy 60 days after second jab and 50% more every 40 days thereafter, but what I object to more is the lack of choice, that this statement implies. That is not what the studies show at all. It shows that 50% of the antibodies disappear. The antibodies were made by your body to fight off the fake attack on your system by the vaccine. After the vaccine dissapates, the antibodies go away but in the meantime, your body has learned which antibodies to make in the event of another attack. This is how vaccines work, as was fully explained in elementary school science class. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s disgusting is the perception that foreigners are special cases and should get the best and give what is perceived as the poor Sinovac to the Thais. You live in Thailand now. Who cares where it comes from. They have as much right, if not more, to be given the Pfizer/Az first as anyone else. You want special go home and get it or pay for it.
