Popular Post webfact Posted June 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2022 by Krajangwit Johjit BANGKOK (NNT) - Public Health officials recommend people get booster doses every four months to maintain immunity against Covid-19. Dr. Opas Karnkawinpong, director-general of the Department of Disease Control (DDC), stated that the recommendation was based on data indicating that Covid-19 immunity decreases around three to four months after vaccination. He advised people in high-risk groups, such as the elderly, those with underlying health conditions, and pregnant women, to get booster shots every four months to ensure a strong immune system. People who travel abroad or have weakened immunity are advised to do the same. The DDC’s subcommittee on disease immunity has also approved the 25 micrograms per dose of Moderna vaccine for children aged 6 to 11 years old. Another study confirmed by public health officials found that using Sinovac as the first dose, followed by a Pfizer shot, can boost immunity in children aged 5 to 11. The subcommittee assures that people can receive other vaccines even if they receive the Covid-19 vaccine on the same day, with the exception of viral vector vaccines, which require a gap because they use live viruses to carry DNA into human cells, and simultaneous injection would reduce vaccine efficiency. -- © Copyright NNT 2022-06-16 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

These will not give you immunity against Covid , at best limit the affect the virus has on people . I had my first booster shot in May after having to wait 6 months to get it .

swm59nj Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I guess you can get them every four months if you want. A month ago I contacted the state health department in America where I moved from. I told them I had two Sinovac, one Pfizer booster, then a Moderna booster six months ago. The health department told me that as of this time there are no recommendations for an additional booster. But different medical professionals of course have different opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaccines don't necessarily prevent infection but they are usually helpful in preventing hospitalization and death.

If these were sterilizing vaccines that imparted full immunity, I'd have been in line as soon as possible. But they are not. Taking a booster every four months that does not impart immunity? That's just nuts. And most people I know including high profile elites like Fauci take all the shots and still come down with Covid anyway. All my extended family have had multiple shots and all have had Covid. So the answer is to get more shots. Nah. That's Albert Enstein's definition of insanity: Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. 2 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fauci had 2 shots and 2 boosters and had mild symptoms and continue to work from home. At his age, he could have suffered worst if not for the vaccines. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem except it doesnt stop you getting it and it doesnt stop you passing it on. By all means you can get a jab every week if you want that is your choice but I dont want it and that is my choice 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poohy Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I am fully vaccinated and boostered in Thailand, but currently in UK i did transfer my records to NHS app i was told by nurse that unless you are old or have special cases or needs boosters were not being administer here. So i suppose if Thailand wanted or required fully up date tourist or in my case returning expats it may not be possible to comply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
