PHUKET: A second Phuket person has blamed COVID vaccination for severe hair loss, this time a 41-year-old saleswoman at a motorcycle dealership in Phuket Town.

 

Mananya ‘Ann’ Phuekpoom, 41, told reporters yesterday (Nov 26) that she started noticing her hair falling out in clumps after she received a third-dose “booster injection” of AstraZeneca on Sept 16.

 

The vaccination was administered by intramuscular injection, she noted. Ms Mananya had previously received her first and second vaccination injections, both Sinovac, on May 18 and June 14, respectively.

Another one that got too scared and nervous! That´s why the hair fell off.

[RafPinto]

Shouldn't colour her hair so often.

Nostril slip alert.

Meanwhile, the CDC is switching to the Klingon alphabet for viruses as they quickly run out of letters to scare people with.

After my two AZ shots, I couldn't get my old fella right... well, actually, for several decades before the shots, but I'm going to blame the shots. ????

[happy me]

With both of these being in Phuket could it possibly be something in the water! Or some local hair product?

[wombat]

Pick a Vax

[hotchilli]

Is this hair a raising or hair falling issue?

[Almer]

Same same but different, after my second Pfiser I was itchy and then after about 3 weeks came out in a big big blood red rash on my upper arm and chest,!5 days in hospital temp of 39.6 the diagnosis was a non specific skin virus, any body else ?

After looking at this case, I am having second thoughts on getting a booster.

 

This booster shot recommended by certain governments is unnecessary and pose more risk to the health.

 

Two doses is enough to develop immune memory which is the most important. The immune memory will produce the required antibodies when the real virus attacks.

 

The antibody produced during vaccination shouldn't be the yardstick because all antibodies fall off after a few months if there are no virus present in our body system.

 

This is basic virology.

My idea indeed.

So, use of hair colour has <deleted> all to do with it?

Here wig go!

She may suffer from an underlying auto-immune disease like SLE or the variant discoid lupus which is more confined to the skin, although she should have some other symptoms too.

SLE is prevalent in Thailand and often overlooked.

It's proven that COV19 vaccine may trigger an auto-immune flare in people with underlying SLE, rapid hair loss is a classic symptom of the disease.

No booster would be OK if you don't plan to travel.  Otherwise, it's now becoming a requirement.  Many countries now require your latest jab to be not later than 6 months.

Better see if she is undergoing Chemo therapy......

Virologists worldwide are recommending booster shots. Sad to see there are still people that think they know better.

The latest variant came from an unvaccinated person with HIV. These variants will keep cropping up until more are vaccinated. Sad some out there don't understand this. Or don't care.

Yes it does, hair colour can cause hair to fall out if the subject is sensitive that is why users are told to do a patch test before using any hair colourant. It is more likely that she used a hair colourant without testing than it being a side effect of vaccination. Hair loss has never been reported as a side effect of any of the vaccines produced in the past 2 years millions of people can't be wrong.
