Booster Vaccines - Covid 19

[PeteC]

We're getting close to the time when emphasis will shift from the base set of two vaccinations to additional booster vaccinations. It's time to untangle that from everything that has gone before so that the other thread doesn't become overly cluttered. Please put all posts, articles, comments, and experience about booster shots here.

are you only interested in what booster people have had?

for example is it worth noting an option of 'none' to see how many not had anything(yet)?

thanks

[PeteC]

Just booster shots, thanks. If people are not planning on getting a booster shot for whatever reason and want to tell us, they can post about it.

Technically, anyone who's had two shots has had a booster. In vaccination terms, the first shot is the "prime" and the second shot is the "boost." Hence the term "heterologous prime-boost" referring to having a different vaccine for the first and second shots.

However I assume you're talking about people getting a third shot as an additional booster. Which I assume is very few people at this point as it's generally not the practice to give a third shot until 6 months after having had had two doses (the exception being people who had two doses of SinoVac).

In which case my booster was AZ

Although I would happily have a 'second' booster 6 months later if the data suggested that was prudent

I think it is planned to give everybody a booster 6 months after their 2nd. I'm expecting mine in February. The tracking tool is already available. Just start checking here nearer the day http://www.pcko.moph.go.th/booster3.htm ... e2dfF6BWzY

Is it worth differeniating between a booster shot here in Thailand or abroad?

We want to hear from "full or part time Thailand foreign residents" only. I'll add another line to the Poll in a minute to cover boosters received abroad by that group of people.

The thread is not so much about the poll, which is basically window dressing. It's more about separating discussion, experiences and articles about booster shots from our main Vaccine thread which is up to 180 pages now and cluttered.

It would be helpfull if it was in Anglish but T.I.T

Basically, put your unique reference into the system near the day, and your appointment should show. If it doesn't, it tells you to contact the hospital.

Other: Not vax'd, so no booster

One day we'll all have to be vax'd in order to buy or sell.

I have had my booster. The first 2 were AZ, the third was pfizer, I had be reactionsfor 3 days. Extremely tiredpainful arm and headache. However three friends had the same combination no effect.

[buksida]

Don't plan on having one - unless Thailand wants to make life difficult without it as they have done with the first two.

My husband was refused Moderna vaccine today as he had 2 doses of AstraZeneca (last one 23rd September) and was told that according to the protocol he needs to wait 6 months till the next vaccine.
I had unique dose of Janssen end of June and received the Moderna shot.
