Popular Post snoop1130 Posted August 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2021 File / AFP Thailand’s Department of Disease Control (DDC) explained today (Friday) why a Thai doctor was given a fourth inoculation, using the Pfizer vaccine, after having received three other vaccine jabs. DDC Deputy Director-General Sophon Iamsiriithavorn said today (Friday) that, from a search of the Public Health Ministry’s vaccine management database, the doctor in question, whose name was not disclosed, is to travel to Canada for work and he is required by Canadian law to have been inoculated with either the AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson or Covishield vaccines, if he is to avoid two weeks of mandatory quarantine on arrival. He is also required to show a COVID free health certificate before entering Canada. Dr. Sophon also said that the doctor met the requirements for a dose of the Pfizer vaccine, after having already been given a third booster shot of AstraZeneca.

Popular Post sqwakvfr Posted August 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2021 In what time frame did this doctor take 4 doses of Covid 19 Vaccines? The US CDC is recommending a 3rd dose for healthy individuals be given 8 months after the 2nd dose. All 3 doses of the same vaccine. This sounds risky? So again this medically trained doctor got inoculated with 4 different kinds of Covid 19 Vaccine in a short period of time? "the ultimate guinea pig"?? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CDC recommendation to wait is more about availability than science. Just like their initial recommendation to not wear masks early in the fiasco. People will do strange things to avoid a 14 day quarantine. He's a doctor, and well qualified to weigh his own risks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gottfrid Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 And there they have it. Takes four doses to get accepted for travel to some countries. How can they after that stay on the path of mix-and-match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chalawaan Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Sorry, not sorry. I'd rather have the fourth jab microwaved to boiling point, and injected into my eyeballs than deal with the cellulose-ridden nightmare of entering North Korat (formerly known as Thailand -the land of the free). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk_bwana Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I can well believe it. Most countries do not even recognise vaccination programs, other than their own. Even with the same vaccine. UK does not recognise and will not issue a Covid Pass for their own people, vaccinated with imported Indian made AZ, purchased by the UK government and administered by the National Health Service. It's a minefield out there in the world. It's not just madness in Thailand. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he got 2 shots of Sinovac early on, then got the Astra as a booster, then Pfizer as the fourth... giving him two shots of a recognised vaccine in Canada. not sure about the required time frame of follow-up booster shots? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk6060 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) Maybe I am missing something but even with all this how is he considered fully vaccinated? 2 Sinovac= Not approved so a zero 1 Astra= not fully vaxed 1 Pfizer= not fully vaxed I guess they accept mix and match? Also, he is obviously a Doctor, but I read some where that taking too much of any vaccine can create an opposite reaction in your body that it actually may stop making antibodies.

mtls2005 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) So nothing about this physician's health, it's all about getting them into Canada? And this answers the question, if three is better than two, four must be better than three. Guessing this will be like amulets, the more the better?

Popular Post DLock Posted August 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2021 ...and this is why Thailand will never achieve the 70% vaccination target this year. The amount of boosters and do-overs limits the amount of vaccines for fresh unvaccinated people. If only they had chosen quality vaccines from Day 1, we wouldn't be in this mess. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be kind of hypocritical if they didn't, given that Canada has been using a mixture of AZ and either Pfizer or Moderna for some time now. Canada recommends mixing and matching AstraZeneca, Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines Quote Canada is changing its guidelines on mixing and matching second doses of COVID-19 vaccines and is now advising Canadians to combine either the AstraZeneca-Oxford, Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna shots Edited August 21, 2021 by GroveHillWanderer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
