Vaccines - Covid 19

[Meerkat]

7-Eleven is for Thais only so likely to be Sinovac considering the CP connection.

...

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but maybe useful for those not wanting a hike to Bangkok.

The latest foreigner vax website is opening up registrations for over 40s for Bangkok Hospital Hua Hin from Sept. 3-8 (Pfizer, AstraZeneca, and Sinovac).

I finally managed to get a result locally from Expatvac.

This is what was emailed to me:

Good for us, but not for Thais - farangs can register for Pfizer locally but they're stuck with Sinocrap, Mrs B is not a happy bunny!

If they're OK with travelling outside Hua Hin, Thais are not stuck with SinoVac. My stepson and his wife (both in their 40's) went up to Bang Sue station a couple of weeks ago now and got the AstraZeneca vaccine there. I know there was a concern about a lack of social distancing and it being overcrowded at first but they said that when they went, it wasn't crowded at all.

I would simply expect something called a vaccine, to last a bit longer than 3 - 6 months, and provide a lot more protection then what they are calling vaccines today.

Not necessarily - flu vaccines are often only effective for 6 months or so - sometimes even less, due to the rapid rate of mutation of the various flu viruses.

In any event as it stands, the CoViD-19 vaccines are still showing relatively good efficacy (and certainly, higher than most flu vaccines) even after 9 months.

A lot had been made of one Israeli study showing waning efficacy but it's not necessarily definitive.

As is pointed out in the article below:

The data showed that many Israelis who had been among the first to receive the vaccine were nonetheless catching the Covid virus. Israelis who had been vaccinated later were not getting infected as often.

Yet it would truly be proof of waning immunity only if the two groups — the winter and spring vaccine recipients — were otherwise similar to each other. If not, the other differences between them might be the real reason for the gap in the Covid rates. As it turns out, the two groups were different.

Not an option for reasons pointed out here.

It is rather ludicrous that they expect 40 million Thais to "bai Krungthep" during a lockdown if they want anything different than what the junta is peddling. I'm guessing that private hospitals can't sell different vaccines locally yet then so back to the waiting game it is.

I’ve got my Mor Phrom working. For some reason, my records have been linked to my ID Card, which was never given to HHH as a reference. Anyway, my record does exist, and its all there on my phone .

So anybody else struggling because they are using the made up number allocated when registering, check using your pink ID Card reference. My Mor Phrom record must have been updated when they updated the system with my 2nd jab.

It must be something to do with how HHH reports the data to the Mor Phrom system.

The strange thing is that the HHH vaccine check page still tells me I didn't show up for my first vaccine appointment while Mor Phrom correctly shows I've had both jabs, but the only way the Mor Phrom system could have that info is if HHH gave it to them.

Anyway, I take it you can get your digital certificate now?

I just downloaded mine from Mor Phrom and it is called Test Result Certificate., with my full name Jab details and Certificate number
So that's it until I get my booster .

Yes, the ID Card thing is a long story.

On the day of registration at MV, joelle spoke to me and said how useful her ID Card had been to the girl who tried to register her. Wanting things to run smoothly, I immediately added my ID Card to my pack of docs.

When I got to the registration clerk, she picked up my ID Card and handed it back to me without reading any detail. I was registered with a quasi 6000000****** number using my passport. This is the same number that I used up until I'd received my first jab, at which point it kept telling my I hadn't turned up. I have been called 4 times for my first jab - the current record using the quasi number states I didn't turn up on 31 Aug. In the gap between jab 1 and jab 2, Mor Phrom acknowledged my first jab.

I had my 2nd jab mid Aug, after which my Mor Phrom record completely disappeared.

My daughter-in-law queried my lost record last Sunday, where it was acknowledged Mor Phrom was completely fcuk'd for a few. I was one of the few, and I'd have to live with it.

Today I was reading something that said if somebody had a pink ID Card, the ID Card number should be used instead of the quasi number. I uninstalled Mor Phrom for about the 100th time (exaggeration may be involved here), re-installed it and registered with my ID Card. Low and behold, everything is there.

Biggest shock of the day, because my ID Card hadn't been involved as part of my registration, the various Thai apps must be tied together in some way.

Thai IT is a big mystery, but all is well that ends well.

Are these last few posts in the correct thread? Thanks

I was out for coffee this morning for the first time in a while when I ran in to a Thai guy I hadn't seen for a few months. He asked if I'd been vaccinated yet and after I responded affirmatively he asked about side effects. I described the 24 hours of flu-like misery followed by the never-ending hunger and sleepiness.

Much to my surprise he said, "Me too. Hungry and sleepy all the time." He's the only person with whom I've spoken who has experienced the same two side effects that continue to plague me. He had Sinovac while I had AZ.

I'm only mildly worried about this. I don't mind being sleepy as I've never been a relaxed nap-taker, so nodding off now and then during the day is quite relaxing. On the other hand, being hungry all the time is a bit of a worry. I resist eating the best I can and, so far, I haven't put on any weight. But, I may not be able to hold off forever. We'll see. It's going on six weeks now.

Was this after your second shot of AZ?

2 AZ or SV/AZ?

Agreed, I thought we now had a separate thread for vaccine certification issues. These posts distract from the original purpose. Thanks in anticipation mods.

This is not about vaccine certification, it is about Mor Phrom. Mor Phrom has multi functions, the main one being vaccination management.

Combined use of AstraZeneca and Pfizer jabs starts in October in Thailand

Thailand is tentatively set to extend its “mix and match” approach to COVID-19 mass vaccination in October, using the AstraZeneca viral vector vaccine as the first dose, followed by a dose of the Pfizer mRNA vaccine 4-12 weeks later. About 10 million doses of Pfizer-BioNTech are expected to arrive monthly, said Dr Sophon Iamsirithavorn, deputy director-general of the Disease Control Department today (Friday).

He said that the combination of AstraZeneca and Pfizer is the second such adaptation of inoculation regimens by the Thai health authorities, following the combined use of Sinovac and AstraZeneca, with doses given 3 to 4 weeks apart, which was recommended by the country’s committee of the Medical and Health Emergency Operations Centre on August 25th.
