Fourth COVID vaccine shots to be administered to medics, people with chronic diseases

[snoop1130]

 

Thailand’s Disease Control Department has proposed its vaccination plan for this year, which covers unvaccinated children over 12 and children from 5-12, as well as fourth shots for medical personnel and those suffering from chronic diseases.

 

Unvaccinated children over 12 can just walk in for vaccination, at hospitals designated by Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) in case of Bangkok and the communicable disease committees in other provinces, said Spokesman for the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) Dr. Taweesin Visanuyothin.

 

People who are not fully inoculated can also walk in for vaccination. Children between 5 and 12 can get vaccinated voluntarily and with consent from their parents.

Best guess is when it's too late.

Quite simply there is an unspoken acceptance by the health authorities that the Chinese junk that gazillions of people were forced to accept was as good as having an injection of water. So all these people, at huge extra cost to the taxpayer, are basically going back to square one and restarting with the vaccines that Anutin should have bought in the first place. And in 3 months time we will see these same people getting a 5th shot.

Trust The Science.

 

Moderna CEO says we will be needing at least 4 shots.  As CEO of a publicly traded company, his main goal is to maximize health and safety in order to satisfy the shareholders.

Just a question, does anyone know how many COVID vaccines are being given in China?

  Anybody have friends or relatives in China who are saying how conditions in China are

today?  If a 4th booster is recommended when I qualify, I might be interested in getting it.

  I do know that there are many, many people in Africa and some other countries are hoping

to get even their first or second vaccine. I wonder if any refugee camps in some countries

are getting COVID vaccinations? How about in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, are the people there

all getting their vaccines?      And some here on this forum are asking when does it end?

  Be happy that you are not in a country where it is being asked, when does the vaccines start....

Hmmmm.

Unspoken? I think that means you can't find data to that effect. The truth is that the Chinese vaccines provide strong protection against serious illness. Failure to acknowledge or even mention the effect against serious illness instead of merely neutralising infection is a serious deception by omission. We do know that none of the vaccines prevent infection. All of them protect against serious illness. Stop spreading misinformation and FUD.

 

"Mahamud said on Tuesday that although Omicron could evade antibodies and cause infection, evidence was emerging that the Covid-19 vaccines still protected against severe illness, hospitalisation and death."

"As with all the COVID-19 vaccines for which data are available, efficacy against the more severe outcomes is greater. Efficacy against hospitalisation for Sinovac in Chile, Brazil and Turkey was 85%, 100% and 100%, respectively."

"However, experts stress that double vaccinated people will still retain some protection against severe disease because this is mediated by T cells and B cells rather than antibodies."

Medical authorities in UK yesterday/today are saying that there is no need to rush to get a 4th jab.  Better to wait until later this year before making a decision on it.

When will the 2nd generation of Covid-19 vaccine, more able to tackle Omicron, be available here in Thailand? Without knowing the timeframe it is hard to make a personal decision on the necessity and benefits of a 4th Gen 1 booster.

As long as people keep complying, never.

 

The only way out of this mess is to just say no.
