Pfizer shots for 12-17-year olds

[Dario]

The government has offered Pfizer shots for 12-17-year old teens and said that all of them whose parents have given their consent could all be vaccinated by the end of October. Our daughter (12y 4 months) just received a phone call (at 20:45 in the evening) from her teacher and was told that she should go and get her 1st Pfizer shot tomorrow morning at 08:30, Saturday October 16. Btw, my wife received her 2nd AZ shot today.

Are there any other members of this board whose kids have already received their first shot?

Yes my daughter had hers last Sunday, she's 13 years, no problems just a sore arm. Next shot on the 31st Oct

[nightfox]

Yes, my son and daughter ages 14 and 18 got their first Pfizer shots this past week at their schools.

[Etaoin Shrdlu]

Yes, my daughter, age 16, received her first Pfizer vaccination Monday.

Small update:

Our daughter Amy is since 07:45 at the venue for getting her 1st shot, but at near 10:00 my wife updates me, she is still far away from getting her shot. Students from the whole tambon are there.

It's a far cry from when I got my shots in Khon Kaen which was organized by the Bangkok Hospital Group. Also masses of people like today, but I was in and out within 40 minutes. 

[Dario]

Received her shot at around 11:00. no parents admitted in that A/C room, only teachers. Only side effect Amy had so far: headache. 2nd shot scheduled for NOV 06, same venue, same mass of people.

Son 16 received his yesterday. See my post 

wife and I are both jabbed and the hospital staff were amazing.  Not for the son, last minute notifications from the school  and vaccinating every school in the area on the same day was a bad idea.

I hope they will do children under 12 soon, as of right now they are only given Sinopharm. I want to wait until Pfizier

[SuwadeeS]

At the Matayom Bangkapi school they have scheduled for Monday. I will Go with my daughters 12 and 14.

My son, 12 years old, got his Pfizer jab yesterday (Friday) at Impact Arena, Muang Thong Thani. Only side effect so far is a sore arm.

She may also expect a sore arm. My son had a sore arm after both pfizer shots. He was also tired after the first. But symptoms were less after the 2nd. Many of my students are being vaccinated today

Our daughters school (International) opened 2 weeks ago to normal levels, all year groups attending from pre-school (3 y/o) to year 13 (17-18 y/o). Over 800 students, rapid test once every two weeks. All went well and great to see them all back rather than online learning. They are off next week for half term then return after that. (Phuket). All other Int schools here also opened, around 6 of them 2 weeks ago. No cases been reported as far as I know.

My 14 year old niece had her Pfizer shot on Monday here in Chiang Rai . Sore shoulder for 24 hours and gone.

[Tom89]

My niece had her first shot about 10 days ago. She's 16, no problems.

She does have a sore arm. I didn't mention, because everybody gets that. Yes, maybe more tired than usual.

4 cousins in the village in Issan got theirs last weekend.

 

Sore arms for the day and no other side effects.

 

Nice relief as they all live with elderly grandparents.  Hopefully help in reducing transmission.

I felt tired after my shots also.

 

I just put it up to boredom in Issan.

[WinnieTheKhwai]

Yes, my daughter had her first Pfizer shot last week.  (In Chiang Mai). 

 

My son is not quite 12 years old yet but maybe I can get him Moderna or something.  Although of course children aren't at risk much, but still it'll help to stop spreading the virus to some extent.   (not 100%, but it'll help.)

Daughter had her first shot today at Pattaya Sport Stadium. Very efficient and well organised - would guess about 10-12 schools were going through at same time.
