Vaccines - Covid 19

[PeteC]

I would then love to see the Sinovac numbers compared to the above. It very well could be zero against some of those variants, or it could be the exact opposite as the science is completely different.

It's quite surprising based on a simple google search, just how much support there is for Sinovac/Sinopharm vaccines. Although their overall efficacy is lower, it does claim 100% against hospitalisation and death!
It also claims good efficacy against the various mutations. One explanation says that because of the use of dead virus as has been used in the past, the whole virus is included which gives cover for most of the variants.
It would appear at first glance that there are more articles that support Sinovac than don't, even if you disregard reports coming out of China.

My wife's vaccine appointment was set for 9am today. At 8.45 her phone rang. It was the hospital. Just calling to let her know that when they know they'll be getting more vaccine they'll call her to let her know. But they didn't know when that might be. Couldn't say next week or next month.

Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said vaccines had been allocated to all provinces and it was up to officials to distribute them widely.

In addition, the government would start receiving a vaccine developed in Thailand, he said.

That is still in early stages of trials and, if successful, will become available sometime next year! He mentions it as if it'll be available soon.

The government started human trials on Monday of a domestically developed coronavirus vaccine and expects to deploy it next year, which its health minister said could give the country more freedom with its vaccine policy.

She must be getting the Royal treatment. I know 3 who had appointments for today, and none of them received a phone call. In fact 1 of the 3 actually turned up at the hospital and was told to go away. As far as I know, the link I posted a few days ago still stands, and that has basically been re-enforced by a Facebook posting by the hospital earlier today.

Basically, when your name appears on the listing, you can be vaccinated.

Maybe it's an age thing.

The FB page at this link is a list of 100 people who originally had a vaccine appointment for 9 June and are now invited to attend for vaccination tomorrow 10 June. This is due to no-shows.

There is one foreign name in this list. Congrats if it's one of you lot out there.

Thank you for the link, but what a way to manage a bunch of wrinklies needing their jabs. The craziest thing is the update does not feature on the output from the link they were pushing a few days ago, and your link has no easy search facility. However, with a bit of searching, knowing there had been an update, I did find the following link, which does seem to be the way forward i.e. I now know that after tomorrow there are 304 more people before Mrs BB gets to the front of the queue.

Somebody who is a member of this Forum was due to be vaccinated tomorrow, but it was actually brought forward and he was vaccinated at HH Hospital on Monday.

Should get in the next "mass" vaccination session then. Sorry, I couldn't find a PDF file or even a sharper picture.

Coming from England, I find this posting names for people's vaccination appointments, for all to see, utterly bizarre.

^^ It's OK, Thailand decided not to enforce a personal data protection law this year.

I like these kind of videos below. They remind me that England isn't the only country full of morons. A doctor to boot.

"The vaccines are making people magnetic!"

Does that mean they are attracting others?
