sharecropper Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I had my first Moderna jab on 9 November at Samitivej Sri Racha Hospital. They scheduled my second dose for 30 November, 3 weeks later. But everything I have read since then - well, everywhere on official websites outside of Thailand - states that the Moderna doses should be 4 weeks apart, not 3 weeks, for maximum effect. When I asked why they were "different", they said it was a government decision. Once they confirmed that, and not wishing to trust my well-being to a bunch of totally incompetent idiots, I asked the hospital to change my second jab to a week later, but they say they can't. Has anyone had a similar experience with SSR or other hospital here? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ezzra Posted November 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 17, 2021 You can get the second one as soon as 2 weeks apart (In Thailand you get it while you can and no point arguing about it) so don't fret go and get it... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you should ask yourself why you react different than others. Do you think you are the only one with the right answers? How many people do you think have been getting Moderna with only 3 weeks between the shots already? Have you heard anyone getting a bad reaction out of that? Do you have an education in this are that makes you able to make a better judgement, or are you only reading and believing? My suggestion is that you should be happy to get vaccinated for free. Otherwise you can just jump the second shot, and stand together with the other anti-vaxxers that will not be able to do anything in Thailand or the rest of the world. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jingthing Posted November 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 17, 2021 You're correct. It's supposed to be four weeks not three. It's outrageous to be forced into that incorrect interval. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were you, I would get the information printed out that states that, take it to the hospital, ask to see management, tell them that for the best effect you require your paid dose on the 4th week, not the 3rd week and as you paid for it back in xyz, you were under the assumption that the hospital was following proper guidelines, noting that his is your paid for vaccine and you cannot see any issue with it being administered to you on the 4th week and if the hospital wishes to dig its heels in then they have two options, A) to provide you with the 2nd dose of which you will have a Dr administer it for you or B) have the media on-site filming and taking photos of your protest at getting it on the 3rd week. I wouldn't give in to them, however I would want to deal with someone at management level and if that didn't work then I would go higher and higher till I got my way, failing that, it would be media that the hospital doesn't want. When dealing with children, you have to talk to them like children, but when they don't want to listen then you talk to them like an adult and if that still doesn't work, then bring on the punishment I say. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the hospital is confused as Pfizer is given at 21 days? A fair number of folks have gotten their first dose of Moderna so there should be some experiences out there. Maybe have a Thai friend search Tha social media? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, just because you pay for something you are the king and everyone should do like you say? Not, he has not any right for that. He has payed for something, that had clear regulations from start, and then it´s just to go by that. AS, I posted. Another option is to join the anti-vaxxers.

rott Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I asked about changing the date they had given me for the first jab and they said it could not be done as they were in batches. No problem, can't be done means can't be done. Like asking gotty for a rational response. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phetphet Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 From the cdc.gov. Is there a maximum intervasl between doses of Moderna? No. You should administer the second dose as close as possible to the recommended interval of 28 days after the first dose. However, if the second dose is administered after this interval, there is no need to restart the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
