Omicron is here is it time to get boosted?

[yogi yogi]

i have has two moderna shots 8 months ago.  considering getting boosted..............upside is im hearing that getting boosted raises antibodie levels like 37 times.   a huge number............. and i wonder if i wait too much longer ,  that the benefit from the first two shots inteacting with the third shot ............will be less if i wait too long.  

[ezzra]

Sure if you can get them, not as if they sell them at 7/11 you know and specially now that everyone is on their hind legs looking for boosters, so luck there...

[The Hammer2021]

There are a couple of threads on this forum about this subject which might help you.

Good luck  finding a booster here at the moment

[Fat is a type of crazy]

In Australia they said after 6 months of getting two shots now they have dropped it to 5, then 4, and now  3 months from January.

Check you Antibody Titer. Under 50 BAU (Binding Antibody Unit) you need to have a booster for sure:). I have one Moderna shot available . If someone needs, message me private.

so its easy to get your antibody level checked?  simple blood test, ? i will investigate.................moderna booster is half dose of regular dose

Got the Moderna booster after receiving the second Sinovac shot, 4 months ago. 

(in Manila)

Just today two Thai friends told me they’ve just had boosters, others have already had theirs. I’m registered but not yet at 3 months.

[Caldera]

Go for it.

 

That being said, quite understandably there's been a mad rush to get boosters since a few weeks due to Omicron, so availability may vary depending on your location etc.

The omicron variant is, according to medical authorities (not politicians) relatively harmless, fatalities and ICU treatments hardly present. The booster shot doesn't help against it. So why all this worry? Leave it up to the politicians to gain maximum profit from this latest paranoiac episode and delay getting any more shots as long as possible.

Good luck!

unless your Thai or have pre purchased Moderna it'll be practically impossible.

There more worried about maxed out hospitals,no staff for jobs, completely worn out medical staff.

 

"Delta Air Lines (DAL.N), which scrubbed nearly 280 flights combined on Friday alone, citing personnel shortages amid the surge of COVID-19 infections."

This is on top of the deaths that will happen.

 

Thai Public hospitals aren't any match for massive influx of sick people.

 

There barely able to cope in good times.

How exactly are politicians profiting from the virus?

The booster shot does protect against it and is recomended  for all those that have had 2 regular shots which are not as affective against it. It's mild in those that have been vacccinated but still serious for unvaxxed

No one has shown that omicron is as bad or worse than delta.

 

There have been very few people hospitalized due to omicron.

 

Will politicians panic yes 

Just look at Brandon in the US.

Will people panic yes because they listen to MSM and politicians.

 

There is not enough employees. There out sick.

What was it?

 

They were only offering boosters to people that have had:

 

Sinovac, Sinopharm, or Astra Zeneca.

 

Good for them as Sinovac is proving practically useless in tests even with a booster.

 

"Sinovac booster insufficient against omicron, study shows"

 

https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Coronavirus/COVID-vaccines/Sinovac-booster-insufficient-against-omicron-study-shows

 

The people who got Pfeizer/Pheizer weren't included.

 

Also Bang Sue  train station was fully booked.

 

I'm getting a Moderna booster Jan. 11, but I have to travel to Bangkok, about 10 hours drive.

Good for you.

Good results in studies released also.

[Dickp]

Yesterday got our Moderna bosters , just called Vibharam Hospital just down street from use, the day before and may a appointment for 11 AM got there early 10 AM. Had copy of earler shots at Bangkok Hospital, but they were fully booked until new batch of Moderna comes in May or June, same for  Srinakarin. Paid 3,300 baht and left.

Seems Pattaya is ahead of the curve when realizing that EVERYONE needs a booster.

Just read an article where they are offering Pfeizer and Moderna boosters regardless of previous shots.

 

I don't care what anyone says, Pattaya is a great city!

As they use exactly the same vaccine they used for the first 2 doors as a booster how can the booster be effective when the original is not?

In February they'll probably drop it to 2 months, in April to 1 month, by June it will be weekly and before the end of 2022 it will be served with your morning coffee....

Im going there for a booster on the 11th.

 

What was your timing from the second shot?

 

Mine will be 3 months and 7 days.  I've mentioned this to them and emailed my vaccination card.

No problem, just show up with your passport, vaccine card,and appointment.

 

Hows the parking?

I'll be staying at the Hilton Millennium.

Or would Grab be better, 11:00 am appointment.

 

Thanks!

[Expat68]

The question as your body got a good immune system. I was sick for one day after my second shot (body ached from head to toe) does that mean my body will fight against covid19, I am not expert, just asking

[drenddy]

Time to get boosted.And wait for the next letter, then boost again.
