Popular Post ScotlandtheBrave Posted March 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2022 I had two doses of AstraZeneca, 12 weeks apart, then three months later Moderna. Any advice on when to get fourth dose, and which vaccine would be appreciated. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post rwill Posted March 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2022 At this point I would wait 6 months between shots. Hopefully Moderna and Pfiser will be coming out with updated versions that work better on the new variants. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayboy Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Presumably it will be quite a while before the Thai government programme includes a second booster shot.So for most expatriates (who want/need) the second booster will need to source in private sector hospitals.I know that at hospitals like Bumrungrad and Samitivej booster shots (Pfizer/Moderna) can be purchased.But are they prepared to accept bookings for a second booster yet? And if they are, can the details be included in the official Thai certificate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post swm59nj Posted March 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2022 The general rule is wait six months before you get another. I had a booster of Pfizer then six months later Moderna. One of my doctors at Bumrungard recommended to hold off after number four. Until any new recommendations come out. Moderna is the recommended one for boosters. But if Moderna was not available I would take Pfizer. I received the Moderna booster at Samitivej. And it was added to the certificate of the other ones I got . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewGuy Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 In Tuesday’s NY Times an article says that, based on limited Israeli data, people 50 and over (perhaps qualified with individual health stats - I don’t remember) a second Moderna booster could be given four months after the first one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Griffo63 Posted March 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2022 3rd and 4th booster shots available at Bang Sue Station now. I walked in on Monday for a 4th shot, got a choice of Moderna or Pfizer. Really slick service - in and out within an hour (including observation time).

Popular Post TallGuyJohninBKK Posted March 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) Here's the current government free vaccine program rules on follow-up times for third and fourth doses, based on what prior vaccines you've had: It seems to be saying fourth doses right now are only available to people who had two original AZ shots followed by a third mRNA booster, with the fourth shot available four months after the booster. At least via the government's free vaccines program involving the Central Vaccination Center in BKK, the fourth dose offer appears to be just for Pfizer.

Heng Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) Going with September to cover the various 'last vaccine shot cannot be more than 270 days ago to be considered fully vaccinated' rules in some countries that might still be in place for winter and spring travel next year. Will go with Astra or J&J if I can find it. Already had 1 Astra and 2 Pfizers. Edited March 30, 2022 by Heng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemises Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 There’s no compulsory requirement in Thailand (or the world) for a 4th shot. So unless you’re employed in a high risk environment, why bother ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You plan to get a shot every 6 months for the rest of your life? As long as the virus continues to mutate with virulent results, the degree of protection provided by vaccines annual or semi-annual covid-19 boosters may very required. Case in point is the annual "flu" vaccination. Every flu season is different and so the annual vaccination may be altered to address any adverse effects of those mutations. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/prevent/keyfacts.htm 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect most people will pay greater attention to the considered advice of the governments of the USA, UK and Thailand (among others) who recommend a 4th shot (or 2nd booster) for people in specified categories. Actually I believe your post to be thoroughly misleading for a wide variety of reasons. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caldera Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I'm taking a wait and see approach right now. I'd guess at some point another booster will be required, and in that case, my plan is to get another Moderna shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if they are, can the details be included in the official Thai certificate? I got a Moderna booster by paying 1650 Baht 5 months after the free Pfizer jabs. The hospital gave me an updated certificate. It's a bit early to be doing a second booster for those who got jabbed only in Thailand. But why don't you call Bumrungrad for info? If you are old and have health issues, try the paying route and do 5 months (or less) if the option is available. Check out the post just above this one.
