Pfizer has to be reconstituted, there may have been a minute about of extra diluent in the vial? That is only my supposition about the 7th dose.

He was quite proud of having been able to jump all the queues. I though that the guy was a dick. If you can prove this, you can take it to the authorities perhaps?

Perhaps *not* so "odd" after all ... *** After further searching on Google -----> https://www.euractiv.com/section/coronavirus/news/spanish-nurses-find-way-to-extract-7-doses-from-pfizer-vaccine-vials/ "Two Spanish nurses have come up with a way to extract an extra seventh dose from six-dose vials of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine by removing the remnants of the solution with specialised equipment, EURACTIV’s partner EFE reported. Ana Sola Martin and Natalia Coll from the Clinic Hospital in Valencia told EFE that by using more precise syringes with a larger dead space — the gap between the plunger and the base of the needle — they were able to maximise the usage of the vaccine, which has become “liquid gold” in the bid to end the pandemic. A similar result was reported in Finland earlier this month." Edited August 17, 2021 by andersonat 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavisH Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 2 hours ago, richard_smith237 said: A load of my Wife’s friends received vaccines quite early on (April / May) because they were friends with someone in the medial profession. The fact that a lot of hi-so’s and those with connections to friends and family in the medical profession have ‘jumped the queue’ and received vaccines ahead of others is widely known. It certainly is very strange that an example is being made here - Its akin to showing faux-outrage when a policeman takes 200 baht by someone not wearing a helmet and the media is upset and shocked that such a thing happens... In Thailand, connections are everything. This is why everyoen is tring to scrable up the tree - to network. Its one reason why some parents choose the most expensive schools, but not necessarily the best schools. To rub shoulder with other priviledged families. It's the name of the game in LoS.

This Incident is Ethically wrong, and Morally repugnant. She should be struck off ( if that exists in Thailand ) No its not but she got extra shots out of the dosages used it for family.

Why are we not already doing that? 1 hour ago, Liverpool Lou said: I doesn't say that it was a full dose. 2 hours ago, Liverpool Lou said: The article said that she used the dregs in the bottle after 6 doses, it didn't say that it was a full dose. It's unlikely that a six-dose bottle will hold exactly six doses, there's bound to be some extra to allow for evaporation, waste etc. If there wasn't that extra there wouldn't necessarily be six complete doses in the bottle. If she administered the prior six doses from the bottle knowing her mother would get the remaining vaccine, would you want to be one of those six prior persons?
