Popular Post The Hammer2021 Posted December 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2021 I am starting this thread to enable forum users to gather information about getting third or booster shots. One of my Thai friends has her appointment for next month, three months after her second jab. So what type of vaccine is appropriate; how do we apply for it and where might be the the best place to get it here in Pattaya? This is not a thread to debate vacinne use, the existence of covid or an excuse for Thai bashing. Let's hope we can garner and assemble useful information. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

couchpotato Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 From OP:::: I am starting this thread to enable forum users to gather information about getting third or booster shots. One of my Thai friends has her appointment for next month, three months after her second jab. So what type of vaccine is appropriate; how do we apply for it and where might be the the best place to get it here in Pattaya? This is not a thread to debate vacinne use, the existence of covid or an excuse for Thai bashing. Let's hope we can garner and assemble useful information. Moderna (2nd batch--due Jan -Mar) can be registered for at BPH. There is a dedicated Moderna desk close to the Krungsri bank with very knowledgeable ladies. They will tell you how to register etc. Cost is 1650 baht for a one dose booster. My 2nd AZ was beginning Sept and I will have my Moderna booster at BPH in 10 days time, as the recommended time period between 2nd shot and booster shot is now 3 mths (for everything other than Pfizer, which is still 6 mths). And for your information the 3rd booster shot will be entered into the Government data base and therefore shown on your personal Mor Phrom app. Hope this helps. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it necessary to visit to register and pay for that? If so, how can that be done. How do I contact the desk? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I contact the desk? Actually not necessary as the registration is done using Line, and you pay online once registered. It is a fairly simple to register. Add their dedicated BPH Moderna Line @088fncbm and you can book directly. happy jabbing. PS.. if you have questions then just call the hospital and talk with the operator or ask for the dedicated Moderna desk.

Do you happen to know if they are giving the proper SMALLER dose of Moderna when used as a booster, or are they incorrectly giving the regular FULL dose?

I had absolutely no side effects from my 2 AZ shots, so with Omicron on the horizon and my travel plans for February, I am just going with the full dose booster. Of course other peoples ideas may vary on the dose size, but they don't need to be discussed on this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course other peoples ideas may vary on the dose size, but they don't need to be discussed on this thread. My impression is that side effects from full dose Moderna are indeed an issue for many. I have a close relative that had severe long term effects from both doses. Yes anecdotal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand J Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Pfizer at Memorial Hospital Sirindhorn Rayong: https://thethaiger.com/news/eastern-thailand/pfizer-booster-shots-on-offer-in-rayong-1000-per-day-for-3-days "3,000 Pfizer vaccines are set to be administered as booster shots in Rayong from Wednesday to Friday, 1,000 each day at Memorial Hospital Sirindhorn Rayong. The vaccines will be given for free for qualifying people who meet the criteria laid out by the hospitals. The vaccines will be available for those who are already fully vaccinated with Sinovac, Sinopharm, Astrazeneca, or a combination of 2 of these 3 vaccine brands. Depending on which vaccines they’ve had already, the Pfizer booster shot is offered only after the proper amount of time that has elapsed since receiving your 2nd vaccine. For those who received either 2 Sinovac vaccines or 2 Sinopharm vaccines, their last injection must have finished their initial vaccines at least 1 month ago, before mid-November.Those who have been inoculated with 2 doses of AstraZeneca would need to have finished their second dose by mid-September, at least 3 months space before the booster shot.

It was an observation and a general question as obviously the first two shots influence the choice of third shot. I hope someone will be able to answer the question.

rbkk Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Moderna booster (after 2 x AZ/7th June 2021 and 30 August 2021) free; Sangkha Hospital, Surin. No paper record though. Told to come back on 23rd December for that. Interestingly this time I could feel a sting and it was deeper into the muscle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Requirement older than 18 and the previous shoot if any was received at least three months before . People received not only the third jab even the second and the first was administered.

Of course other peoples ideas may vary on the dose size, but they don't need to be discussed on this thread. Moderna boosters' are 50 micrograms. A full moderna dose is 100 micrograms. Thailand (and the US) have authorised their boosters as this amount. A trial with results due next week is looking at the possibility of using a 100 micrograms booster to fight Omnicron. At present it is not authorised to give 100mgs boosters. Below shows a 20 fold increase against Omicon but still only half as affective as after your 2nd dose.https://www.msn.com/en-gb/health/medical/moderna-booster-shot-increases-omicron-fighting-antibodies-20-fold/ar-AARQHuH?li=BBoPWjQ#image=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
