Length Of time between vaccines.

[ThaiPauly]

I had 2 shots of Pfyser in August and I have paid for a booster shot at a hospital in Chiang Mai.

 

I have read that you must wait 6 months after the first 2 Pfyser shots to get the booster.

 

However the hospital insist that I can have it anytime between 3 and 6 months.

My wife had Sinopharm and that can definately  warrant a booster after 3 months.

 

The vaccine I will be getting is Mordena.

 

I really need a definitive  answer as I have to go back to the UK after the shot has had a chance to bed in,

but I don't want to cause myself trouble.

 

Thanks in advance.

I believe, the latest guidance from the Thai government regarding eligibility for (third dose) booster shots is as follows:

 

--6 months after for those with two original Moderna doses.

--6 months after for those with two original Pfizer doses.

--3 months after for those with two original AZ doses.

 

Their policy and advice has been updated recently, and I'm doing this from memory.  So if I've erred, happy to corrected.

 

Even more details and the booster time frames for various mix and match scenarios for the original shots are explained here:

Three months is fine. My mother (93 yo) just got an authorisation from a doctor to have a moderna booster three months after her second Pfizer shot. She will have the booster later today. Hope this helps.

2x Pfizer

1x Moderna (today)

 

Got the booster after 3 months.

 

You don't need to wait 6 months, the hospital will ask you triple though if you want it. I also paid for it privately. 

I personally would also not listen to what the Thai government recommends. No offense but they always a bit late. Look what is going on in Europe right now with Omicron and go with their recommendations imo.
