Thai Health Ministry starts vaccinating children from six months to four years

[snoop1130]

 

The Ministry of Public Health launched COVID-19 vaccinations for children, aged from six months to 4-years-old today (Wednesday), using the “red-cap” Pfizer vaccine, which has been approved by the Medical Sciences Department.

 

According to the government’s “Thai Khu Fah” webpage, the vaccination is voluntary and only done with consent of parents.

 

The vaccination regimen consists of three 3μg doses over a three-month period. The first and second doses are administered one month apart, followed by the third dose two months later.

Wow, I guess they managed to find a ready supply at a time when the rest of the world is surely doing the same thing.

It would be wise to study world governments official data

before committing.

Can't help but think covid vaccinations for children so young, is about the equivalent as family planning for those over 80 !

If you are referring to the recent admission that the trials did not address the matter of transmission post-vaccination, this has been known about and written about for 2 years. It was in the trial data that Pfizer released. It was the focus of an article written in the British Medical Journal in October 2020.

 

It is certainly true that governments chose to ignore this, and why they did so is, perhaps, a matter of not very difficult speculation.

 

There have been independent (i.e. non-Pfizer) studies carried out which purport to show that vaccination does protect to some degree against infection and transmission, and other studies which suggest the opposite.
