2nd Pfizer Jab through Expatvac Today

[Chris.B]

Had my 2nd Pfizer jab through https://expatvac.consular.go.th/ today.

 

There were about 25 falang turned out at 9am at Big C 2 in Nakhon Sawan city. Big C 2 is empty now. In a separate queue were Thai people receiving Sinovac/AZ combination.

 

The whole thing was handled smoothly and professionally by the Thai people and they have my appreciation. Afterwards we were told we would be contacted again by email regarding the "Vaccine Passport".

Consider yourself lucky.

I'm still waiting for my first one. (Korat)

Went into the vaccination centre on Monday and was told I would have to wait a minimum of two weeks!

Same. Registered with expat vac but was a bit slow off the mark as at first I thought my other registration for Moderna would come good.....but it hasn't. Could have had Sinovac today with wife but I need something I can travel to Europe with next year. Not especially worried as we live in an isolated and hardly see any people.

Consider yourself lucky too. I was given a date of 3rd Nov. Mind you this was via my local hospital. I have heard nothing at all from Expatvac since I registered on 2nd Aug. When I asked the (very friendly) woman at the hospital why it was such a long wait, she replied that Thai people must be vaccinated first. Consequently, some weeks after my appointment was given to me, my 23 year old niece and 15 year old nephew received notification of their vaccination dates in October

With Lazada & Shopee there are far fewer things you need to go out to shop for, other than groceries of course

As soon as the store open in the morning I'm in. Deserted at that time. The closest I get to anyone is at the checkout.

Before covid would go 3 times a week. Now only once.

 

This is in a rural location nowhere near one of the countries hot spots.

Yes. Its been so wet here for the last month i would have been indoors even without covid. Garden ruined. Only buying groceries as a result although if it carries on like this I will be looking for a canoe on Lazada.

That's why you have had to wait then. The government have been vaccinating in order of their list of priorities. Under 60s were not on it unless having underlying illnesses, etc.

I'm 69 and still waiting!

[Neeranam]

I fee <deleted> after getting the AZ. Any idea how long symptoms last anyone?

 

Nauseous and can't eat my dinner.

Didn't get it that bad, I was just achy and tired. For both jabs of AZ that lasted through the day for me but after a night's sleep I was fine the next day.

Yes, strange that. I thought expats in Korat were being sorted.

 

I would pull out all stops including re-registering at expatvac if I was you. Try the link I sent you earlier and register with the BCCT.

24-48 hours usually, perhaps just after a good night's sleep.

There have been many opportunities for foreigners in Korat to get a variety of jabs.

'Thai people must be vaccinated first.'

 

That's a standard and totally erroneous answer.

 

Age and state of health are the primary factors.

 

I suggest approaching your local district health office if you are over 60.

 

As you can see some people are already getting their second dose.

No worries shopping when you wear a proper n-95 mask, keep your distance, wash your hands after.

        Studies say that to get the virus it takes one hour of being confined in a smaller room with an infected person or persons to get a large enough dose of the virus to make you sick.

The 4 ds of your odds of getting Covid 19

#1 Density number of people in the room

#2 Duration number of hours spent in room

#3 Dimensions number of square feet and ceiling height of the room

#4 Draft the amount of fresh air entry/speed of air flow

That surprises me no end and I gotta be honest, I find that rather hard to believe................If true, that's good news for the classroom as lessons are usually between 30 and 40 mins depending....................

[kwak250]

A lot of the really big clusters have been found in places like factories and prisons etc where those 4 ds have been prevalent. Too many people in a confined space for too long with no ventilation. Recipe for contagion.

It's not only AZ that can hit you hard like this. Pfizer and Moderna also. The older you are the less likely you are to get these side effects. My 85 year old mother had none after 2 jabs. The younger you are the more active your immune system and when it kicks in the side effects are what you experience.
