COVID vaccine registration

[nkped 1,208]

GF spent most of the day at the local vaccine location for the general population (indoor sports stadium?).  She did get the jab but definitely no reservations/appointments.

A Thai lady I know somewhere up North has had the Sinovac vaccine and is booked in for the Astra vaccine mid September

I'm happy I was able to get my AZ vaccine last week at BPH, but a bit peeved the govt vaccination program is so disorganized there was no hint that if I would have waited a week I could have had Pfizer.

The 10th was the first day Pfizer was offered at MedPark.  I selected that rather than the 9th solely on the general principle of don't go on the first day/Monday.  Sometimes lucky is better than good.

Yes, just got 1st dose of Pfizer at The Central Festival BR, and the 2nd is only 3 weeks away. Had to let the one at the hospital slip.

Congratulations.  Ten days from now you will be 80% protected.  Ten days after the second jab should be up to 95% plus.

80% is pretty good.  My promiscuity advanced rapidly at that point....?

Sorry I’m late to this topic.

I got my AZ two weeks ago in Bangkok.

I am slowly getting the staff vaccinated, if they so desire, but it’s a slow process as they do not want Sinovac.

I'm guessing he used the link below, but they're now fully booked. I expect they'll open registration again for a new batch of dates sometime next week.

@pattysteveI did get a result from that one above, but also another, which I believe is what I used. To be honest I registered at a number of places and somewhat lost track. Good luck.

Just got an SMS for Pfizer from BPH on 23 Aug at Central Festival.  Nothing about being over 60.  Don’t even know where that one came from.

[forcebwithu 4,853]

Very short notice, but just saw this posted on PN FB page.

They certainly leave things to the last minute don't they.....my neighbour, due to mostly his own inaction, has been left out to dry vaccination wise so I wanted to make him aware of this opportunity. He seemed none too pleased to be disturbed early. (But he needs to get transport organized if he stands any chance). Doubt he will....

They were giving sinopharm at the indoor sports stadium last week.  GF said at least it wasn't Sinovac.

[misteregg 709]

All the staff have had first shot and most are getting their second shot before me!

Il sure all Pattaya residents know already, but they are now accepting walk ins for Pfizer at Centfal today. No appointment.

For what it is worth, there seems to be a growing consensus here in the US that for both the Pfizer and Moderna it is better to wait for three months before the second jab rather than the current three or four weeks.  Not sure about AZ and others.

A little late now for many.... here in Pattaya the interval between Pfizer and Pfizer, has been only 3 weeks, also Thais between Sino and AZ has been either 3 or 4 weeks. I believe Az to AZ is the longer one being 3 months.

My 2nd AZ jab is scheduled for three months after the 1st.

[yorta2 693]

I had my 2nd AZ last week - 3 months after my first. However, the Australian government has been trying to get people to have their 2nd one earlier, just to improve their stats. The 3 month gap ensures a stronger, longer resistance to Covid and, also, a much longer time between boosters (if required).

FWIW, the English experience (not sure about the other countries in the union) has been:

Originally, the recommended interval was two to three weeks.

At one point, it was extended to eight to twelve weeks. This seems to have been a political decision intended to conserve stocks because of a possible supply problem.

There was some surprise when the longer interval gave better immunity than the original interval.
