BANGKOK (NNT) - The House of Representatives is now expediting the COVID-19 vaccine booster shot rollout prior to the November 1 ordinary session. Members of Parliament will receive their third jabs next week.

 

The Parliament has outlined its latest health and safety measures for the upcoming ordinary session, one of which is the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine booster for MPs who have yet to receive one.

 

Dr. Sukit Atthopakorn, the advisor to the House Speaker, said the parliament has already started rolling out booster shots for eligible MPs and officials, with the remaining members slated to get theirs on 26-28 October, ahead of the new ordinary session.

 

He said the booster shot rollout will help enhance safety at each session while noting that the vaccine may not 100% prevent infections, but is effective in preventing severe illnesses.

 

House Speaker Chuan Leekpai has issued a policy for all MPs to get screened for COVID-19 prior to the session using antigen test kits.

 

Strict social distancing and preventative measures will continue to be implemented at the parliament complex, in the same fashion as the previous ordinary session.

 

The next house assembly will commence with a discussion between the coalition and opposition whips, starting at 10 a.m. on 1 November.

Cant really say a lot about that except SHAMEFUL.

Some teachers haven't received their first shots yet, This lot, the police and the army are getting 3rd shots!!

Just make sure the shots are laced with cyanide.  That will rid this country of some greedy filth.

Reflected the world over.

 

 

 

 

Ordinary session? 

.

 

Considering the mental maturity of most of them, perhaps booster seats would be more appropriate....

 

 

Third dose of "us and them", formulated especially for politicians.

I like the idea of them getting shot better.....????

Are they being tested regularly?

 

Will they get a half-dose of a booster, which we're told works wonders?

 

Or maybe a subcutaneous 1/5 dosage, which we're told is awesomely great?

While 50% of the population are waiting for their 1st one?

And we all know why.

SELFISH !!!

 

If they had done their research and listened to the science/data, booster shots are not really required. They say that whilst the antibodies wane, we have memory T & B cells that will take over if infected.

 

Boosters they say should only be given to those with immunocompromised immune systems, the elderly and those with underlying conditions.

 

Boosters are only really good for increasing the antibodies if you want to avoid catching for example, the flu or a cold as the vaccines already protect you, so all one will be doing with a booster is avoiding a break through of a flu or cold.

 

They fully know other have not been vaccinated, yet they move forward to get a booster which really isn't necessary.

 

I hope the Thai's wake up to these (word withheld) and show the just how much they aren't wanted at the next election.

That is correct. Vaccines do not stop you getting Covid but they reduce the severity of the infection.

My missus got her third shot first 2 were Sino pharm no side affects  (health care volunteer) 3rd with AstraZeneca, severe headaches, and tiredness took her back after 2 days given a shot of meds ( think anti-biotic) all side affects gone after about an hour. They do need a third shot as we all know Sinopharm is not that good.

Given their proclivities and lifestyles, I guess all those concerned qualify one way or another.

Booster shots yet there are millions still waiting for there first vaccine maybe they will inject themselves with what’s left of the Sinovac somehow I doubt it that’s only for what they see as the low life’s of society

I had 2AZ vaccines with no issues , mixing vaccines is not recommended as it’s untested especially with the Sinovac maybe that’s why your mrs was ill . I hope she has now fully recovered 

Boosts should not be given to politicians before all Thais had the chance to get their first 2 shots.
