Having lived in Thailand for the last 15 years, I have learned that nothing promised here is ever certain. Rules and availability of various items change almost daily. Add to that the up and down situations with Pfizer and Moderna vaccines at BHP, and I have been concerned since that first shot about the availability of Pfizer vax for my second shot, scheduled on the 15th. I will remain concerned until it's injected! ... That said, I have to ask the OP if the friend he mentioned was trying to get his FIRST or SECOND shot. That's an important point. I would HOPE that they reserved enough Pfizer to ensure that there would be enough to provide a second dose for those who got one, and were given an appointment slip for the second. ... BUT - TIT! 1.9 mil doses only go so far since healthcare workers got 500k to 600k jabs. Should be another shipment i think of 10 mil coming here between Oct and Dec 2021. I think a total of 30 mil by year end of Pfizer. Things are looking better here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BestB Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Had second shot yesterday. Pfizer shots did not have to queue up at section 3, hardly anyone waiting . my guess Pfizer second shots were kept aside but no first shots PS. Second shot hit much harder than the first. For few hours I thought I was mutating , my eyeballs were hurting and felt like were about to pop out. In Addition tp being very dizzy, bad sleep and body aches. Morning all seem to go away 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow! Very strange on second shot you not feel sick, fever or Body aches. I know close to 100 friends and family that have all felt symptoms on second shot back in USA. Its the symptoms that tell you the vaccine is at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't appear do you suggest I go back for another jab? If you do a Google search you will see that roughly 50% of people experience no symptoms. https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article250124699.html Edited September 15, 2021 by giddyup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smedly Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I have a question - anyone know what type of visa is required for getting the jab - must it be a 12 month extension, a friend is on a tourist visa does he qualify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I had my 1st jab the chap on front of me had no appointment, he just chanced it on the day. He was taken to an empty desk to do some extra paperwork and ended up getting his jab 30 minutes after I had mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the reason why when you register they have a small disclaimer saying please be truthful. Also depends where you register , some sites people reporting they get turned down because they did not could not attach visa page. I registered with Bangkok Hospital and only had a dropdown menu, did not have to provide any pics of the visa page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was very proud of myself, once i registered mor prom and saw the green pass. Then 1 hour later, mor prom crashed and not showing it anymore. my happiness was shattered ???? On a more serious note, its a relief, not because of covid protection, but because at least now i can fly, travel and possibly be allowed to do more next month. I was not particularly pro vaccine, but seeing how the world is changing and if not vaxxed many doors get closed in your face. So feeling excited at the possibility now that i am fully vaxxed and vaxxed with internationally recognised and accepted vaccine. PS. Good idea to spend the night, because you really do not know how it will affect you and last thing you want is be dizzy or spaced out while driving on a highway for 5 hours ????
