Vaccines - Covid 19

[Hahuahin]

I was previously all chirpy on here about having no side effects to getting the shot but I may have misspoke.

A week or so after my first vaccine, I had some slight stiffness and restricted movement in my shoulder. I put this down to something I'd done at the gym. I'm forever getting niggles from overdoing it. But 3 months down the line, and a break from from any weight training, and it's still there. Bloody annoying, it is. Basically quite uncomfortable pain when raising my arm (don't raise your arm then, *chortle* *snort*). And forget about scratching my back with that arm.

Can't be certain it's down to a whoopsie regarding the injection site but the timeline matches. Nothing to do with contents of the vaccine but rather the injection itself if it is related.

I'll give it another month or so. See if it sorts itself out before Mr. Doctor can come into play.

It would be handy if those posting on here referring to having 'shots' could specify their vaccine plan(which vaccine and whether they were mixed)

Thanks in advance

Regarding my post, I did mention that it's...

Nothing to do with contents of the vaccine but rather the injection itself if it is related.

But, anywho, I got double Pfizered (sounds a bit raunchy that ).

Yes, this was one of the articles that first had me suspecting the shoulder pain may be due to the vaccination. Though the case study in that article talked about initial 'excruciating' pain, which I didn't experience fortunately. Will just have to wait and see.

It should be said that the shoulder pain some are suffering is not due to the vaccine per se but the way it was administered. A lack of knowledge by the nurse, though I hasten to add, quite unintentionally.

Oh dear. China is angry with Thailand for criticism of their Sinovac.

The Chinese embassy in Thailand says critics of the Chinese-made Sinovac Covid-19 vaccine are undermining Beijing's good intentions of helping Thailand fight the outbreak.

Writing on its Facebook account, the embassy said every dose of the Covid-19 vaccine which China has supplied to Thailand represents the friendship and sincerity which the Chinese government extends to the government and Thais in general.

It has also cited results of studies by the public health ministry of Chile and the Indonesian government in August which showed that Sinovac was 86% and 95% effective in those countries respectively in fighting mutated variants of the virus. This shows the Sinovac vaccine isn't of low quality as claimed by some parties. "The Chinese embassy urges them to stop this serious wrongdoing (devaluing the Sinovac vaccine and misguiding the public about it)," the embassy said.

The minister said the vaccine was being administered in 39 countries around the world. "Those attempts to devalue the vaccine for personal gains have dealt a blow to Thailand's good relations with a good friend," said Mr Don.

So all this time, Sinovac is proven to be the best vaccine on the market.

I'm sure this has been covered already in the thread but for the sake of me wading through lots of posts:

I have an appointment for my second jab tomorrow at HHH but my Mor Prom status is still only showing "successful first jab" and not confirming tomorrow.

I assume that I just need to turn up with the appointment/vaccination card and passport and I should be dealt with. Is this correct?

And are they still starting at 8am?

Thanks for any info.

Yes, just turn up with your appointment card - the IT is fcuk'd. They have been varying between 7am and 8am opening. It is all run very efficiently, and whatever time you turn up, you won't have to wait very long.

[lomuamart]

Thanks, BB.

And are they still starting at 8am?

I've just read they are starting at 7am tomorrow.

Thailand's Vaccine Tracker (Sept. 8, 2021)
.
About 16.47% of the population is fully vaccinated. 25,954,106 (+399,650) people have received the first dose, while 10,900,001 (+424,676) have been fully inoculated.
.
At this rate, Thailand needs to administer 512,416 doses per day within 115 days to reach the herd immunity target by the year's end.

There seems to be a lot of effort being put into reaching "herd immunity" but with the Delta variant and others to come(maybe) it's not gonna work.

Delta variant renders herd immunity from Covid ‘mythical’

Reaching herd immunity is “not a possibility” with the current Delta variant, the head of the Oxford Vaccine Group has said.

Giving evidence to MPs on Tuesday, Prof Sir Andrew Pollard said the fact that vaccines did not stop the spread of Covid meant reaching the threshold for overall immunity in the population was “mythical”.

“The problem with this virus is [it is] not measles. If 95% of people were vaccinated against measles, the virus cannot transmit in the population,” he told the all-party parliamentary group (APPG) on coronavirus.

“The Delta variant will still infect people who have been vaccinated. And that does mean that anyone who’s still unvaccinated at some point will meet the virus … and we don’t have anything that will [completely] stop that transmission.”

Although the existing vaccines are very effective at preventing serious Covid illness and death, they do not stop a fully vaccinated person from being infected by the virus that causes Covid-19.

The concept of herd or population immunity relies on a large majority of a population gaining immunity – either through vaccination or previous infection – which, in turn, provides indirect protection from an infectious disease for the unvaccinated and those who have never been previously infected.

Data from a recent React study conducted by Imperial College London suggests that fully vaccinated people aged 18 to 64 have about a 49% lower risk of being infected compared with unvaccinated people. The findings also indicated that fully vaccinated people were about half as likely to test positive after coming into contact with someone who had Covid (3.84%, down from 7.23%).

About 75% of all UK adults have now received both their jabs.

For those of us going to Bangrak for our 2nd jab with BCCT, a mate of mine has just had his 2nd and was given the full paper certificate and his Mor Phrom app fully updated. He's going to ask about the vaccine passport, not sure if we can get them in HH if we were impregnated elsewhere.

[HHTel]

Wow. Is it 3 months since BCCT started their vaccinations?

Mine isn't due until the middle of November.
