I read on Yahoo today that Thailand is mixing Astra Zeneca with sinovac...

Does anyone know the truth of this?..

If so are they informing people getting Astra that it is a 'mixture'?

 

Yes, it's true. 
Yes, they are informing people the second shot is AZ.

So it is just the first shot that is astra sino mix?

You may be getting the mixer thing mixed up. What is popular right now ( For Thailand ) is the Sinovac jab first followed by the AstraZeneca jab second........

No, they give SV as the first shot and AZ as the 2nd. It’s been proven to be effective.

 

Its a reasonable strategy what with the shortage of AZ they were experiencing.

Thats quite a paragraph in that link where Anutin says "MP's should not criticize Sinovac, to protect the Thai public and avoid harming ties with China"...... nonsense  

Thanks for clearing that up.

Yes it is, but what do you expect from him?.
 

But that doesn’t mean mixing SV and AZ is a bad strategy. In fact it’s looking like a very good one

Yes. I got sinovac followed by astra. I was informed beforehand.

From all  reports it appears to give a good response

It probably doesn’t matter what mix you have at the moment as it seems the vaccination certificate doesn’t meet their requirements.

Australia is having similar problems I believe.

2 points for you:

 

1) Vaccines are there to stop you from getting ill and dying, not to facilitate travel  

 

2) It doesn’t matter what vaccine you take in Thailand, the UK doesn’t recognize any vaccine administered outside UK, EU and US, no matter what brand it is 

 

anything else you need clearing up?

yes they are and yes i was aware of that fact .... needed something  

I got astra followed by astra.

There has been some uncertainty regarding whether the British government would officially recognise the Astrazeneca vaccine made in Thailand.

 

The UK Vaccine Minister  - Mr Nadhim Zahawi recently signalled that the UK would accept all versions of Astrazeneca.   He told a House of Commons debate that UK Nationals who have been vaccinated oveseas will be able to talk to their GP, go through what vaccine they have had, and have it registered with the NHS that they have been vaccinated.   GPs will have to vet people as to whether the vaccine they had received overseas was approved for use in the UK,

 

He also hinted that those who are not registered with a GP in the UK,  that all travellers from abroad who had received vaccines authorised for use in the UK, would also have their vaccines recognised as proof of immunity and would not be required to self quarantine.

 

So in answer to your question - No, I don't need anything else cleared up!!

“Recently signalled” and “hinted” 

 

yep, you can take that to the bank, comrade 

 

and vaccines are not for facilitating travel, they are administered in order to save lives, especially at your age
