Pfizer 2nd dose today

[Bandung_Dero]

Any members experienced other side effects ??

Nothing here - even less than the minor 1st dose effects.

As for Leo

Agree 100%, as with the 1st dose I headed straight for the fridge (too the horror of some members who associate with quacks and/or witch doctors) and did not change my life style for the 2nd. ABSOLUTELY NO effect from the doses.

I didn't go to the Government Hospital to get my Vaccine Passport, went to the Udon Health Office. Didn't want to go to a place full of sick people, hard to park, etc. It's actually in a building adjacent to the Udon Health Office. Same deal when you get there: your passport, a copy if you have one, 50 baht (pay upstairs), and I showed them my docs showing I got Sinovac and Pfizer. No crowds, very easy, nice service. Told me to come back in seven days.

What countries accept a sinovac and pfizer?? Or is that one shot of sinovac and two pfizer?

I’ve perked up now

Funnily enough it was my opposite shoulder to the injection that was more painful earlier. The vaccination site was only mildly tender but the heartburn was unbearable. Eaten something for the first time today & it all seems tickety boo.

Didn’t experience any of this first time around, in fact I didn’t even notice anything

[ladda3904]

No problems with either jab. Wife had mild discomfort around injection point after 1st jab, hasn't gotten the 2nd yet.

Acquired the Second jab last Wednesday , the only discomfort was at the injection site for 24 hours, p;robably due to the location she injected me, higher up the arm . A little lethargic on Thursday but today fine.

It's evolving as more and more countries adopt a mix-and-match policy to get the most people jabbed quickly. Since the Udon Health Office won't give me a second shot of Pfizer, and since I may have to make a trip to South Korea, I have to take what I can get.

"Several countries have opted to mix different brands of the Covid vaccine, with others, including Russia and South Korea, mulling the option over. Many have established large-scale clinical trials and studies to determine the strategy’s efficacy, with multiple countries deeming the strategy safe and effective in handling the pandemic."

Thanks.
Very important and useful info.
Any recent info about mixes allowed in Japan - Vietnam - Malaysia ?
Keep up the good work.
Stay safe.

Thanks timmy.

Mrs tam advises of an unfortunate happenstance with yai. The word was out that Pfizer jabs for oldies were being dispensed at Nong Sai so they popped out that way, just 5 minutes down the road. Mrs tam wasn't allowed to enter the jab location due to it being "only for the elderly" which seemed a bit strange but maybe crowd control for a small venue? Anyway, turns out yai got jabbed with Sinovac and NOT Pfizer and she wasn't given any choice. She's back home and had headaches and been feeling crook ever since, maybe 4 days now. Looks like a horrible bait and switch being perpetrated out there as they try and use up the Chinese vaccines that nobody else wants.

Sorry to hear that.
But “The word was out that Pfizer jabs for oldies were being dispensed” seems less than an authoritative communication from the health authorities. So the bait and switch came from?

That the foreign oldies can get Pfizer is well documented, that few Thai are getting it is also reasonably well known, that you don’t get a menu is also well known.

When I got my jab it was 4,000 Thai getting sinovac, I think though, maybe AZ and 200 foreigners getting Pfizer

Unfortunately I am not in Thailand and this forum is my source of what the current vaccination situation is in Udon but it is skewed towards what they're doing for foreigners. What I have paraphrased is the experience of yai and Mrs Tam's opinion. I don't follow whatever Thai media streams, official or otherwise that brought out a lot of people seeking vaccination in Nong Sai before last weekend but if Mrs tam says they feel they've been cheated, I only have her word on that.

In our household, there's been the usual reluctance to get vaccinated, especially from the elderly members (not me!). However, the youngest niece had already received her second Sinovac shot and reported the usual aches, pains and discomforts from BOTH jabs. Her experience had only bolstered yai's reluctance to get jabbed, especially with the vaccine that "nobody wants" or "isn't as good as some others". Maybe it was case of only hearing what one wanted to hear or people being told what they wanted to be told. Either way, the end result is yai saying there's no way she's going for any second shot of Sinovac.

[sometimewoodworker]

There is ample misinformation going out through unofficial sources or on the jungle drums. The youngest niece has the right attitude, yai is regrettably holding a common, though mistaken, opinion.

Given any choice Sinovac would be the last option, but even Sinovac is streets better than an unvaccinated infection, and while a single Sinovac isn’t giving that much protection it too is significantly better than nothing.

Yes agree STWW .. just gotta make sure Yai gets a second shot and its AZ Tam .. i think thats the latest set twin jab now across the Thai community vaccinations , not hearing of anymore Sinovac 2 shots.
All the factory staff next door to us were down for Sino x 2 then that went out the window and changed Sino x 1 AZ x 1 ..all be done today including Daos niece who slipped in as an employee there

I know for sure some Thais are getting 2 x AZ .... but i not heard of any Thais getting Pfizer in Udon.

its the same complex but a different building , building number 1 , just to the left as you go in the main gates easy to find .

An update on today's experience seeking my vaccine passport (VP).

I found Building 1 at the MoPH, and staff took my passport, pink ID card and vaccination certificate to copy. At the same time, I asked them if they could update my missing passport number on the vaccination certificate. A short time later someone came out of the office, said they couldn't do the VP, and directed me to UT Public Hospital.

They said the hospital could update the certificate with my passport number.

I ran into a couple of American guys who were about to go into the MoPH, told them of my experience, and wished them luck.

So off to UTPH, where I was lucky enough to find a legit car park close by. Navigated my way to the Medical Records office, where they weren't interested in my ID card. Filled out the form they gave me, off to the cashier to pay my 50 baht, and back to the office to sign my blank VP, and get an appointment slip to return on 30 Sept.

But they were not able/willing to update my vaccination certificate.

A delightful lunch at the Little Italian Restaurant, some more business around town, and back to Ban Dung.

[noosard]

He had errors on form at end

Sorry Doodoo i should have added other than frontline workers ... i was really meaning Thais in the general population NOT frontline.

it was imperative to check and double check the document generated at the last station after the second jab... pleased you got sorted Jack.
