I have no idea how long it will take to reach the vax point as I am still outside for probably another hour !! Thanks Andrew, Let us know how it turns out. I was really hoping to avoid getting infected while getting jabbed to avoid infection. Quite a catch-22.

I would have thought any vacc. would be better than no vacc. When you go to the doctor to get a flu or a smallpox etc needle they dont give you a menu and ask you to pick what brand you want...NO .there is only the one kind...and you just accept it and shut up. People were given a preference to choose from. If you are confirmed stating a certain brand will be administered then that's what you should receive. It's referred to as credibility.

August 10, 20214 yr Got a Sinovac on Saturday, then a AZ in 21 days. That'll do me. No queue's at all, I was in and out the clinic in 30 mins.

Don't know about you, but I'm special, I have knocked back AZ and Sinovac, if I don't get Pfizer, I will wait for Moderna that I have paid for, no one is going to tell me what they want to give me, it's as simple as that, we all have choices, so suck it up, at least I stand my ground !

You'll be sucking it up ' oxygen that is ' if Covid19 takes you down before you can get your beloved Pfizer! Nothing wrong with AZ. Also, I was referring to the ones who had been screaming about being neglected but now wanted a choice of vaccine. However, if the cap fits!...

I have an appointment for tomorrow at the village clinic, AstraZeneca, but this is independent from Expatvac, I haven't had an appointment from them yet so I'm taking what comes soonest and so apparently are hundreds of others on the governments list, I have the first appointment, my missus comes in at 345.

There is very good reason to prefer one vaccine over another especially since they all are brand new and studies show vast differences in effectiveness.

August 10, 20214 yr Popular Post Bit of a clusterf#ck in the hall . AZ and Pfizer being done together here , right hand side Pfizer left side AZ then upstairs for resting. I am heading to the right, hopefully ???? 2 desks dishing out AZ and 5 for Pfizer, good sign. EDIT: actually not doing the vaccination only doing some paperwork. Vaccination done in the depths of the hospital !!

Having had a blood clot in 2008, and all the talk about blood clots/deaths with AZ from where I stood in hindsight, was the right choice and if Covid comes knocking on my door then we will greet him or her with open arms, then commence the fight. No tin foiled caps here mate, although I did mention, I'm special.

Going forward we are likely to see governments or other entities specify that vaccination is required for entry and that the vaccine must be one approved by the WHO or US FDA. Many universities in the US already require that students be vaccinated with a US FDA approved vaccine prior to attendance this coming semester (though some accept WHO approved ones). Since locally-made AZ is not approved by either the WHO or the US FDA and none of the Chinese ones have FDA approval, vaccination with these vaccines may prove problematic for some. This already presents a hurdle for Thai students going to America to study in the coming weeks and may be a reason to be selective when getting vaccinated. I wonder what the response would be to a foreigner who has already been vaccinated with a non-approved vaccine when asking for an approved one in order to comply with US or other international vaccination requirements.

When I went over there last week it was Thais only being jabbed and by 4pm it was pretty quiet. When they said I could go any time I thought it might be quiet still and decided it would be a good idea to go early, clearly an awful lot of people thought the same. Might wander over at 4 to see if it's died down at all, if not, just go at the original appointment time, it can't be any worse than it was at 8. It seems that their auto-email system has a problem in some cases too, I didn't receive an original confirmation or any of the updates sent out since, a few people I know had the same issue, we were only able to get a reply after contacting their Patient Access department.

Yes, the email reply system failed big time. They are restricting the amount entering now as it was pretty crowded, now got to the musical chairs part to get to the paperwork filling part, then onwards, where ? I have no idea .
