snoop1130 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 BANGKOK, Sept 22 (TNA) – The Department of Medical Sciences recommends the intradermal injection of COVID-19 vaccines to increase the number of vaccine recipients with available doses but the practice requires skilled health workers. Dr. Supakit Sirilak, director-general of the department, said that with conventional muscular injection, one COVID-19 vaccine dose could be administered for only one person but with intradermal injection, the same one dose could be used for as many as five people. Intradermal and muscular injections with the AstraZeneca vaccine as the third dose proved to be equally effective when it came to antibody responses, he said.

Popular Post Karma80 Posted September 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2021 Hard no. Guess I'm not getting a booster of AZ then. This is a Frankenstein rollout anyway with mixed doses, but this is next level. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to ask the obvious question but if one dose comes in one Phial how do they split it into 5 shots/doses or it just the same phial stabbed 5 times, hopefully with a fresh needle/syringe each time! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gold Star Posted September 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2021 Next plan is to tie a vial of vaccine to one of those strings in a temple you see running everywhere like a spider web. Anyone that touches a string or tied to it will have had their booster. What mind dreams up these crazy ideas? 5 from one dose? Ridiculous. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AZ vaccine comes packaged as 10 .5ml ready-to-use doses per vial. The vials aren't big enough to support a 5:1 dilution, so they're going to have to transfer the vaccine to a larger vial for dilution, and use all 50 doses within 6 hours. I doubt AZ would recommend this procedure. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwill Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) They must have a believer in homeopathic medicine. Why not dilute it even further and give it topically. Edited September 23, 2021 by rwill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will believe all this Tosh only when the Official Papers on the Trials and the full Research has been openly published for all the world to see and peruse. Until then, its just Modern day Witch Doctors playing with peoples lives. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 It's not a Thai invention. But I don't claim to judge on this method. What I read more than once is, that Moderna is probably "overdosed". It's not the first time that a lower dose was suggested.

Of course it is much more cost-effective to fill the syringe and then stab 5 people with the same needle ... what could possibly go wrong? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
