I think hardly any farangs want any more vaxes.....Intrest in this thread is tiny...

[swm59nj]

Most expats won’t complain about getting a vaccine as long as it’s free. 
 

[ikke1959]

Probably because in the EU several countries are back to normal again...Covid is now classified as a normal disease, so too many vaccines are be given away instead of threw away

Toxic dumping

I've had 2 shots (both AZ 2nd jab mid oct 2021) and covid twice. 1st time delta 2nd time omicron. Not too bad really. Delta about 3 days not real good and Omicron not so good for a day then it started to subside. By day 3 with omicron only symptom was tiredness. No way I'm getting jabbed again. No need. People are still wearing masks. I don't get it.

Based on your post, I'd assume you're not dead and weren't hospitalized from your two bouts of COVID...

 

So it certainly seems like the vaccines may have done exactly what they were principally designed to do, especially after newer variants replaced the original one -- help keep you alive and out of the hospital.

 

Not everyone has been so fortunate, especially the unvaccinated.

Omicron infection was 20 or so months after my last jab so I don't think the vax had much to do with it.

why on earth is this vaxx pushing still going on ????

Because COVID is continuing to kill and hospitalize people around the world, for example, about 300 COVID fatalities per day in the U.S. and about 3,300 COVID hospitalizations there per day. And the risks are greater to the unvaccinated  vs the vaccinated, as shown in my prior post above.

I've had five Covid vaccinations so far and I'll be looking to get my sixth one this month or next. This thread is a timely reminder for me to get one. 

[Caldera]

Covid boosters, is that still a thing? I had 3 jabs, all in 2021, and I'd be prepared to call it a day with that!

 

I guess France is having trouble finding enough takers, same as other Western countries that are sitting on enormous stockpiles.

i would rather have the Chinese vaccine.  Its not MRNA.  Its a traditional vaccine.

[300sd]

Guess you can still give them away!

 

 

[Bim Smith]

Most western countries orders 10 doses per head of population. No wonder they have so many left over.

[Rastatoto]

What a joke, they just give it away because no one in France want to get this booster 555

Since last fall, Thailand no longer publicly reports mere counts of COVID cases, in part because they no longer have any campaign to test for cases, and home tests aren't reported either.

 

What they publicly report as "cases" are in fact COVID hospitalizations, and they still report what they consider to be COVID related deaths, using a very narrow definition of that.

 

For the most recent weekly report:

 

The government for the week Feb. 26 to March 4 reported:

--7 COVID deaths, average of 1 per day

--147 COVID hospitalizations, average 21 per day

 

And cumulative thus far for 2023:

--  249 COVID deaths

--  4,263 COVID hospitalizations

And the Chinese made ones have been shown in studies to be less effective at preventing COVID illness and deaths than their mRNA counterparts.

 

There's a reason Thailand transitioned from using Chinese vaccines early in the pandemic.... to ultimately switching mostly to Pfizer and Moderna shots (along with their own locally produced AstraZeneca non-mRNA version, which pretty much seems to have fallen off the map).

The wife and I each got the updated bivalent Pfizer COVID vaccine today at the MOPH's Institute of Dermatology near Victory Monument.

 

We did that on a walk-in basis, and it was easy-peasy... The room was busy with lots of people coming in and going out, but not much waiting. Just the standard three steps:

1. fill out a questionnaire form with personal info and medical history, which they update in their system.

2. go for the shot

3. wait for about 30 minutes thereafter to make sure there's no allergic reaction.

 

As mentioned above, the IOD is doing the Pfizer bivalent vaccinations from 9 am to 3 pm (closed on Sundays) at the IOD, 12th floor. The building is next to Rajivithi Hospital and a very short walk from Victory Monument BTS station. The vaccines are free for long-term expats, but there's a fee for tourists. Foreigners need to bring and show their passports.

 

The 12th floor vax area today was busy with all kinds of Thais of all varying ages... Somewhat surprising to me, not any heavier weighting toward older folks, as I might have expected. However, for the hour or so we were there, I was the only farang I saw there -- probably because the new bivalent Pfizer vax program at IOD has been very sparsely publicized.

 

When you get the vax, they place a little sticker on your paperwork giving all the lot and other details for the specific shot you get. For my bivalent Pfizer vax today, my batch was listed as having an expiration date of April 30, 2023, so my batch was nowhere near expiring.

 

The government's announcement re the IOD seemed to say they'd only be offering the new Pfizer bivalent vaxes there thru this coming Tuesday, March 14. But their online appointments system lists available appointments at least for the next several days after that.

 

I tried to ask the staff at IOD today just how long they're going to be offering the bivalent Pfizer vaxes there, but being a Saturday, no one in authority seemed to be around. And the nurses could only say they'd been given an allocation of 50,000 doses of the bivalent Pfizer vaccines, and they thought they would continue until they run out.

It had been 10 months since my Thai wife had her last prior booster vax... Today at IOD, the nurse there made a point of telling her she was overdue and should have gotten a new booster within 6 months after her prior shot... not 10 months.

 

Today was #5 for my wife, and #6 for me, dating back to the beginning of the public vaccination campaign here in Thailand...about mid 2021. So I've managed to keep to the more or less recommended every six months schedule, as someone who's in the somewhat higher risk age group being 60+.

 

Here again is the weblink for IOD's online appointments website for the COVID vaccines, though it's entirely in Thai language, no English:

And, they do allow walk-ins without appointment.
