I thought if you had 2 x Pfizer the "Window" was 6 months and your eligible for a booster (Free). As you were paying for your Moderna booster was it a 0.5 ml (50mcg) or 1 ml (100mcg) dose?

Good question. My 2 Pfizers were done in the UK so not being in the Thai system I did the walk in and pay method. I hate needles and nurses so got myself in to a bit of a sweat so did not realise that my date of birth is wrong on the cert (3 blood pressure tests before they let me go!) I will check the dosage when I correct the cert next week.

Says Thais and Foreigners on title page

 

FAQ answers a Sinovac foreigner exclusion.

 

 

 

 

 

Quote from the booster FAQ:

• Can a foreigner who has completed 2 Sinovac (SV) injections can register?

  Currently not open to foreigners. If there are more openings, we will announce again.

  hmmmm......reads as very racist.

I tried to book via Dtac for a booster at Bang Sue on 23 January (I got the last AZ jab at Bang Sue on 30 September) :  I was refused with the pretext that I do not fulfill the conditions set by the Ministry of Health and I do not know why

Yes, why is it so difficult to get a booster shot in Thailand?  I have checked and I see that all vaccination venues are fully booked or they have reached their inventory limits. 

 

Why do we have to always fight for vaccinations when in the USA boosters are readily available in departments stores and in most large pharmacies.  If for lack of imagination, can't they copy what is readily done in the USA?

 

Where can people get the booster shot in Bangkok???

Yes my Thai wife was accepted for a booster registration but I was refused because I was a foreigner .....is this because foreigners are immune and cannot infect other people ?

You were trying to get a booster in June?

If you are in Bangkok and have received your second vax dose before Sept 30, Royal Thai Police are sponsoring walk-in for Moderna boosters till December 30 at Amarin Plaza (Chidlom BTS). Get there by 7 am, get in line on the ground floor. Out by noon or so.

 

Nurse told me 0.75 mcg.

 

Little physical distancing in line but most everyone is double-masked. Vax centre itself is safe as. Thai govt should take home some lessons for this; their registration system has been utter chaos.

Correction: MedPark are doing Moderna boosters for a profit. They are not able to do for free. The Thai government are giving the same away for free from their various donated supplies.

Medpark have to buy Moderna so they cannot give it away free!!

I for one will be taking up that offer, but that will be the last one for me, no forth or subsequent vaccines for me. 

I bet there will be a fourth as Israel has already started. There is no escape from this.

Exactly what I meant with my statement "MedPark are doing Moderna boosters for a profit. They are not able to do for free." They entered into a business venture that required an initial outlay and need to recoup their costs and make a margin.

The government is able to supply Moderna boosters for free because of donations.  It's similar to when China donated Sinovac and a % (300,000 doses?) were given to their nationals in Thailand.

Your bets too late! Fourth doses have already been announced the other day in Thailand for health workers and the at-risk etc.

If your two previous shots were in another country is one still qualified for this booster? I had 2 Pfizer in the US in July and August, 4 1/2 months ago--as I stated above already. In other words, do they recognize the US CDC card as qualification? And any idea for how long this program will carry on? Thanks!

Thanks - found out about Asiatique last night (I used to live near Saphan Thaksin).

 

Only had my second AZ 18th November - so 7 weeks or so to be eligible for the 3rd jab.

Think the rule on 2 Pfizers is the second one must be six months ago. My second one was nine months ago. Both done in UK. I showed a print of my vaccine cert, paid 1,650B and got a Moderna booster in Chiang Mai last week.

What is your current vaccination status? Which booster are you eligible for?

 

MoPH, Bang Sue, walk in or try the mobile phone service provider registration: currently (today) full, but this changes hourly. https://app.dtac.co.th/vaccine/index-en.html

 

BMA, Thai-Japanese/Youth Centre Dun Daeng, walk in or try QueQ app, may require the help of a thai person.

 

 

A lot of times, for these one-off temporary offerings, they're oversubscribed by the time you hear about them here.

Where in Chiang Mai? They asked for a passport? Did they care about your vaccination history? Was the Moderna a 'full' dose, if you know. Did you receive any vaccination proof or documentation?

probably because you have to wait for three months on December 30 you should be good to go

Ram. I took my passport and a print of my NHS vaccine records. The whole process was not much more than an hour. I had not pre paid, just walked in. I have a certificate with a 6 number followed by 0000 so I am in the system now. I foolishly forgot to ask about dosage but as my date of birth is wrong on the cert I will ask when I go back next week. If interested just go to 4th floor reception.

Yes, and my doctor in Oakland said as much. But I'm seeing suggestions that in order to protect against Omicron that rule is being questioned or overridden.

There will be a forth offered, no doubt but the science on multiple doses gets a bit sketchy at that point. As a scientist, albeit not in this field, I am yet to be convinced,  Three yes, four and more, maybe , with a big question mark at this point. I stopped yearly flu jabs some years back when the advantages turned out to be considerably less (at least for me) than the  reaction I got each time, a massive cold.

Thanks so much for the info.

 

If I wasn't 4 hours from Bangkok I'd do it. My second Pfizer was Sept 28, so I'd qualify but I'm hoping boosters will be available locally in a month or two. However, hope is not really a plan.

Plan A remains not being infected. We enjoy our house, garden, and pool, so just don't go out much these days.

 

Good luck to all of us.
