BANGKOK, Jan 21 (TNA) – Subsequent jabs of COVID-19 vaccines may cause undesirable effects if they are administered too early, a viral expert has warned.

 

Prof Dr Yong Poovorawan, head of the Center of Excellence in Clinical Virology at Chulalongkorn University, wrote on Facebook that many people asked about proper doses of COVID-19 vaccination and some people even said they had already received five shots comprising the first two jabs of. the Sinovac vaccine, followed by a jab of AstraZeneca and then two shots of Moderna. Some people said they did not count their initial Sinovac jabs.

 

Prof Dr Yong likened proper vaccination to filling a glass with water. To cope with COVID-19, people should start with two initial shots, followed by a booster jab, and that would be a full glass of water.

I get my booster after about 90 days in norway.Minimum 4,5 months is he rule here.

I got my Moderna booster shot 12 weeks after my second Astra Zeneca, and I just got my 4th Moderna 4 weeks after the 3rd, (I know, but I had already paid for the 2 Moderna shots, and didn't want them to go to waste). After my 3rd and 4th shots, I had no side effects.

"Expert" Those it seems, dime a dozen, you can ask 10 experts and you'll get 10 different answers...

no one in this world knows or can say for certain when this covid/omicron will leave us alone or when a definitive cure for it will be found, so there, so much for experts...

yes, he was leading his university department in bangkok shutdown in 2014.

He is famous for his anti-democratic and royalist stance.

He always supports military.

Hence he has constant exposure in mass media

Thai Govt reduced the timescale for boosters after a second shot from 6 to 3 months in December.

I thought it was a little more complicated, namely it depended on what the 2 first shots were. My Mrs got her booster after 3 months, a Pfizer on top of a Sino and a AZ. I had 2xPfizer and believe I have to wait 6 months to qualify for a booster.

The US would not initially give me a booster after I returned here 2 weeks ago because my Astrazenica 2nd jab was only 4 months prior and not 6 months in between the final jab and the booster date. 

 

However, a little sweet talk and it was done and a full jab of Moderna and not a half jab like they are giving, since I am one with an autoimmune condition.... 

 

No issues afterwards either.  Just have to figure out how to add it to the Mor Prom App.

Looks like dr. yong is sporting the "official" haircut these days.

 

 

 

What is it next year ........ How long after my 11th jab do i need to wait for my 12 th jab 

 Although people did not overdose on a vaccine, they could develop undesirable symptoms, Prof Dr Yong said. (TNA)

 

I know several people that have had 4 or 5 total thinking Sinovac was a big zero.    "Undesirable symptoms"  but are the people actually developing more immunity and better protection?

 

I like Yong (but not sure about his new haircut - looks like a B100-barber job) ...

 

... and I like his "water in a glass" analogy - it really helped me understand this previously confusing issue.

There is also a Wiki article about him which includes a long list of awards and recognition. Far more than anyone on this forum could possibly aspire to I'll wager.

Maybe but for the vast majority in Thailand they've either had 2 Sinovac or AZ. Had AZ in June and Sept with a Pfizer booster a couple of weeks ago myself.
