thailand49 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 When it comes to handling of the Pfizer, I guess it doesn't dawn to those they can't confirm how the Sinovac or AZ has been handle. No one has questioned the donations of the China sino nor has anyone question the donation of the AZ by Japan, England etc.. It isn't rocket science when it comes to the Pfizer donated by the U.S. they are have a abundance of it due to the population not wanting the shot so instead of dumping it prior to expiration it is donated there is another 2.5 million doses coming donated so expect nothing different if you don't want it too scare or worry then don't! I'm sure the Sinovac is more transparent and the Chinese has nothing to hide.???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was off, we would not get any side effects at all. ???? What? How can you possibly say that? What evidence or experience of vaccine research do you have? The side effects of vaccines could easily be due to the adjuncts and solvents that are added to the vaccine and there are many. They are often quite stable beyond the life of the serum itself. Even an inactive serum can be antigenic and cause side effects. Edited August 25, 2021 by Card 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make of it what you will. Also just to put some at ease, everyone waits for 30 mins after the shot in a big hall, in that time i did not see anyone feeling sick or asking for any help or having any signs of anything. Well organized, English spoken, friendly, of course a number of "gentleman" felt the need to bring their skirt with them and even talk to the nurses for them. no idea why when all nurses spoke clear English. I wonder if they need a skirt to go to 7-11 with them as well My "skirt" is my wife of 24 yrs,we like doing things together,as do most of my friends and their " skirts" what a silly post 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a bit worried that the vaccine was perhaps 'wrongly' handled or 'not working' due to being nearly expired. headaches could be a sign of a problem with that side effect. Believe the nurses/drs say you should contact the hospital of headaches occur (poss blood clots after the brain, before is a stroke but side effect of the vaccines sometimes is the latest) Just saying. I got my first on Friday, only a sore shoulder for the first two days, not other symptoms whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I might disagree to your assumption. The vaccinations were flown in quite some time ago and it took the gifted local logistics all that time to put those donated vaccinations out into where they are needed. Here in Nong Khai the same pattern; Pfizer everywhere with next month's expiry. Irrelevant, as long as they are being made to good use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that 43K people signed up, 2/3 under 60, mostly from BKK. I read 60-74 so now I understand that some folks have registered for shots in 4-6 locations trying just to get one to come through.

If it was so freely available they would have given it to Thai as well , but they are just giving it to foreigners(ok maybe to elite Thai as well but the websites and registrations we are getting it thru , only foreigners). So it's not as freely available as you think . I am happy that i got it and that my second shot also will be pfizer but a bit confused that the normal masses in Thailand are being vaxxed with mix and match shots and that we get the good stuff . Normally they aren't so found of us hence double pricing and Mr A calling us dirty(ok maybe if we had to pay for it would make it understandable but it's free of charge) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henryford Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) I had my Pfizer last week. I thought it was odd she did not take the vaccine from a vial but had the syringes already "loaded".

Presumably you have one of the qualifying underlying conditions then. Would have been helpful if you posted that in the OP rather thank confusing the issue by mentioning you're under 60. Of course this is an assumption on my part. Apologies in advance if indeed you have no qualifying conditions.

Irrelevant, no one asks for any doctors reports or even what your condition is and I did mention my age , it helps to read and think before posting . in addition , it helps to understand post is not about how under 60 gets vaccine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
