My granddaughter was quite ill for about 3 days, but one of her group had to be admitted to hospital. Thankfully, all are well now,

... symptoms seem nasty - dizziness, sickness, hot and sweaty. The one who had both jabs had a very high temperature, but no other symptoms

My daughters, 26 & 35, in Bangkok, got AZ. The eldest was sick for 7 days, the youngest for 3 days. They were required to have due to work.

I notice a few people on the forum know of folk who've had quite bad side effects from the vaccines in Thailand. Curious to know if anyone outside of Thailand have come across any cases. Personally, I know 30-40 people who've had both their jabs now (a requirement at my place of work) who suffered no ill effects aside from a sore arm, myself included. And all the people they know of haven't suffered any.

Just found it strange I've not heard of a single case of bad side effects out of many yet in Thailand it appears it may be quite common.

I agree that people who miss their slot should be moved to the next available. But losing their right to a vaccine! Come on.
And as BB pointed out, the system is so confusing that I'm sure many people don't even realise they've missed their appointment.

Yep. I suspect there's an extremely high degree of hypochondria in Thailand. Problems are usually resolved by a quick visit to the local clinic and the purchase of a course of completely useless pills.

Do you have any evidence to back up that suspicion?

You mean stats and scientific studies...? No, of course not, it was just an observation based on personal experience of a fairly decent number of Thai folk over the years. If I had any real evidence, it wouldn't be a suspicion, it would be a fact.

Unless you've been following this thread on the forum for the past month, or happened to be in Bluport or Market Village the days of registration, you wouldn't know where to register or if there was any registration. It's not as if there were billboards on the street in English.

As I tend to be a hermit, I check in here regularly to find out what's going on in H.H. and Thailand that may affect me.

AstraZeneca said Thailand, which is manufacturing its vaccine locally, will have received its agreed quota of 6 million doses within this month, while export to other Southeast Asian countries will start in early July.
