Just wear a mask that fits well, practice safe distancing, and you will be fine. Which hospital?

Wear three masks, a face shield and full PPE, it's the only way.

 

Why not do what you've been doing for the past year when you leave your home?   You're still alive, aren't you, what's the issue with going to a hospital?   What did you do when you had to go to get the vaccination when you hadn't yet had the first one?

don't forget to shower and shave.    and a clean shirt ????

[The Fugitive]

Mrs had an appointment at our local community hospital for Monday. Today (Friday) a bag containing medicines arrived with a note not to attend due to Covid. OP could have his appointment cancelled also?

[scubascuba3]

If not urgent delay it until after 2nd vaccination

[MrJ2U]

Wear two masks. 

Wear gloves.

Don't touch everything like escalator rails,pens, etc.

 

Try to be in and out as quickly as possible.

 

For some reason were always going to the hospital, big family.

 

We're all still alive.

US starts with 3rd shots next month already too.

Only for at risk groups who were fully vaccinated 8-9 months ago. Not the gen pop.

Yeah? Try entering a hospital WITHOUT a mask. Jesus wept!

Or Lotus's, Big C, Makro or 7-11.

Stay at home and do not leave the house for any reason, stay safe.

I went to the government hospital last week.

About 300 people sitting around, but no big deal.

[Jingthing]

If it's been at least two weeks since your first AZ jab you have some protection. If a month then better.

Cancel if it's not critical.

Otherwise go and wear a good well fitted higher end mask or a cloth mask over a surgical mask.

All we can do is the best that we can. 

[jak2002003]

Wrap yourself in several layers of cling film and squirt alcohol over your entire body every 5 minutes.  

 

A gas mask and space suit should also help. 

 

And a long cattle prod to shock anyone that get closer than 2 meters to you.

Y'know, the OP is obviously concerned, maybe a little scared, and stuff like this isn't clever or funny.

[riclag]

Surgical mask with a cloth mask over it,add a face shield and a small bottle of 70 percent ! If someone sneezes leave  and go sit somewhere else

[ivor bigun]

Well the OP needs to educate himself to the real life danger of catching covid at the hospital is if he wears a mask, social distances and washes his hands. 

 

If people are that scared and irrational then that is also 'not clever'.

I think the constant spraying with detol or other chemical is likely going to be more detrimental to your health then going to the hospital and using sensible precautions like wearing a mask and using alcohol on your hands.

As above. And use hand sanitizer. Wash your hands well after leaving and before touching your face.

 

Protection from even 1 dose of AZ is pretty good especially in first few months after.

Then perhaps maybe helping the OP instead of sending droll verbiage would be the right thing to do? Maybe even the 'clever' thing to do?

[HeijoshinCool]

Yes, wear two masks....

 

A Prayut mask, for better service, and a clown mask, for such a ridiculous fear....

 

Wait, actually, that's only one mask.

[1FinickyOne]

good to go - at least you know to be cautious...

Depends on what you have to go for.. if it's needed go, if not postpone it for a few months.

 

[Gandtee]

I wouldn't risk it. If you've broken your leg put a Band Aid on it. You'll be OK. ????

Very true. Tops markets spray all stores after hours...my GF is store manager and has to be there to monitor. She has skin rash on her cheeks due to whatever chemicals they are using...this is a daily after closing occurrence. Thai companies have little concern for side effects. When I was teaching in government high school, they would spray for roaches during class sessions and when the kids came out to go to next class...halls were fogged with pesticides..they thought nothing of it. Scary...
