Got my Booster AND my choice!!!

[SamSanuk]

Walk in today at Central Airport Plaza. 11am and a very short line on the 2nd Floor. Maybe 10 minutes before I got my shot.

 

Was assuming I would only be offered AZ , as I’m one of The Mix of Sinovac/AZ, but lo and behold, MY CHOICE of AZ, Pfizer or Moderna. (I went Moderna)

 

About 1pm went by again, and line was 15 people. Not crazy at all.

 

Thank u Thailand!

I was aware of the facility at Airport Plaza and just went on an assumption. Worse case scenario was do a little shopping and have lunch.
 

Here are some locations from the past week, so I can’t be sure who is open now, except CA. ???? 
 

I was there before 11am, but saw no way inside….so the starting time may be mall times. 11am.

 

Locations

• Central Airport Dec. 20-24 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
• Nakorn Ping Hospital Dec. 20-24 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
• Suanprung Hospital Dec. 23-24 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
• Neurological Hospital Dec. 22-23 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Agreed, excellent service. My local community government hospital offers the same choice of vaccines. They have mobile sessions too. Unfortunately, no walk-in service, you have to wait for them to telephone you. Reached the three month point a few days ago. They explained they are working through their list and will be in contact within the next few days. Impressive customer care!

Did they give you an additional vaccine certificate after the booster shot?

 

Did they ask for any prior vacc. cert. for the first two shots?

I thought they just said AZ is better for omricon, wouldn't be a fan of mixing 3 experimental vaxxes but happy you are happy and hope you remain healthy. Not surprised it wasn't busy, most people do not want the booster at all.

??? Everything is logged within the same central system, why would you get an separate certificate, it is just added to it.

[473geo]

My second Thailand Pfizer today third counting the UK shot so feeling good 

Brought a smile to my face when my number was called out to go for the injection, all the Thais around me smiled, waved pointed to me, then the doorway, to make sure I knew it was my turn, lovely people, even the hard worked nurses were smiling today ????

Don't assume too much. After I got my 2nd shot, the hospital gave me my vaccination cert.

 

If they can't find your booster vacc record in the future, it might be a problem. It's strange that they didn't give you any cert at all.

They gave me a QR code which brought me to a website with my 3 shots listed. However all in Thai.

The website is through nakornping hospital.

 

I have my previous two shots on my phone via co19cert, which looks to a government site. My 13 digit code was necessary. However they didn’t ask to see my passport.

Thank you. Actually in England they are recommending mRNA vaccines for boosters. I feel my Sinovac AZ Mix is similar to 2 shots of AZ, and would rather go mRNA as much as possible. 
 

For the future, I’ll stay with Moderna if all possible.

Ok. This is actually a Nakornping hospital vaccination exercise....

 

I think I saw many Thai people waiting for something inside Airport Plaza a few days ago. I didn't know they are having a booster vaccination.

 

 

[richard_smith237]

Theoretically your vaccination details have also been registered with the MoPH and can be viewed on the Mor Prom App.... 

 

From that App you can upload your passport detail etc and apply for an International Vaccine Certificate.

The App is also in English. 

 

(unfortunately they can’t add vaccines administered overseas to the record).

I checked and the booster information is not listed. I’ll wait a few days.

[PBob]

Had my booster in local hospital (Klong Luang). Only Pfizer for boosters, others getting AZ and Sinovav for jabs 1 and 2.

 

Walk in service you need passport, covid certificate and proof you live in the area, but they did not ask for it. In and out in just over one hour, you had to wait 30 minutes after jab, to check for immediate side effects.

 

Knew about it bacause my wife is a regular having physio.

 

Sore and listless today so taking it easy.

I also got my second Pfizer jab yesterday it went good except for the paperwork they put down the wrong passport No. and the wrong address. I did give them my passport and a copy of my house papers. I guess they just want me to stay in Thailand?

My details were copied from my pink card ID, they then added the passport number correctly, on my first visit, second visit only took my pink ID card as that was enough to locate my details from my ID card number. Certificate provided is accurate ????

I received a brand new updated one each time.  They looked at my certificate I had already but did not take it. I have had 4 shots now.  Some would say 2 shots as the first 2 were sinovac.  The last 2 Moderna.

[DogNo1]

I bought a Moderna booster at Bumrungrad for 1,650.  They still don't have the vaccine.  St. Louis has it NOW for 1,200.  Bang Sue may have the booster available for free on January 6th, three months after my second AZ there.  Don't know what's wrong at Bum.  Same confused state as last year.

 

Incidentally, Morphrom disappeared from my phone.  Luckily, I had printed a hard copy of my two shot certificate and a nurse at St. Louis was able to install a new version of Morphrom, enter the correct 13-digit number from my hard copy and get a new password by SMS.  Disappearing applications.  What's next.  Probably a mandatory hospital stay for Omicron.  Must buy a new insurance policy soon!  

 

In the US, people with no apparent exposure to Omicron are getting it anyway!  Mild symptoms though.  What. is worse here is the mandatory hospitalization.

 

 

 

 

 

[MrJ2U]

Good for you.

 

Must be like the Thai Red Cross and dipping into the Private sectors allotment.

 

Any side effects?

Getting mine on the 11th.

[Derek B]

You must of been compliant to Thai gov policy of 3 months or 90 days since 2nd jab.

I attended on 2nd Dec and was denied a booster jab after being allowed to line up because I was 11 days shy of 90 days (even though aged 69 & 100kg supposedly in a high risk group).

I walked away sharpest in case I lost the plot.

Next morning I walked in to a private hospital & paid for a Moderna jab - job done.

 

I too had no advance notice of the Booster jab availability at Central Plaza (car park - nice) on 22nd.

I discovered it was happening whilst looking for Xmas gifts.

 

My American friends in CM do seem to be in the know though.

Pfizer is not an expiramental vaccine. It has been fully tested  by the US FDA and authorized for general use  no longer just emergency use.

 

https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-covid-19-vaccine

 

Moderna, J and  J  ,and Astra Zeneca have only emergency use authorization at the moment.

 

Mixing vaccines is fine

But is there  any informed concensus about which is the most appropriate  booster shot? Does Nurse Sheryl have an opinion  on this?

So you got a new cert? Which hospital gave it to you?

My first 2 shots were at Phayathai 2 and the last 2 shots at Thonburi Hospital.  After each shot I was given an updated certificate after waiting the 30 minutes to make sure no immediate reactions.  (Thonburi was so much better organized and faster than Phayathai 2.  Of course the first were government provided and the later paid for.)

It appears you haven't done much reading--there is a great deal out now on mixing the vaccines for the booster--and most of my expat and Thai friends are eager to get a booster when one is avaiable or free or not too expensive.  If you run with a crowd of anti-vax, then that view is a bit warped from reality--if not that, then do some more research.

Double dose Astra apparently useless against Omi after 12 weeks…..mRNA booster required.
