all about booster shot in UTH

[Bandung_Dero]

My sister in Oz had 2 x AZ and it was recommended to her by the hospital clinic staff she has Pfizer as a booster which she did, so who knows?

Just to add Mrs Dero has had Sinovac - AZ - Pfizer.

Though not in UTH per se, the woman I live with and myself having had AZ - AZ previously, received a phone call from local hospital at 3:30 today, to attend for a Pfizer booster, in and out, free of charge under an hour.

Same here. The wife got a call for both of us to go to the local health clinic in our village on Jan. 11 for a Pfizer booster. We both had Sinovac and Astrazeneca for our 1st and 2nd shots in August and September. Also got a free flu shot there about a month ago.

wife went to get her booster shot at Rajhabat yesterday.. Arrived around 0839, drove away done at around 0930. Only giving Pfizer... Her original vaccination was Sinovac and Astra so need only a 90 wait for the booster. I got Pfizer/Pfizer so the guidelines from Health are still wait 6 months...

Our Tambon clinic is now handing out ATKs free to anyone who wants them for home use. +ve results have to be reported or just dispose of the used -ve kits in the Isaan way.

This morning I was offered a Pfizer Booster by our local Tambon clinic doctor. Through Mrs Dero I explained I'm only just into my 4th month after my 2nd Pfizer, she replied that was OK I could still have it.

I politely declined deciding I would wait the 6 months as mandated by the Govt. medical guidelines. Not keen on stuffing up my vaccination certification.

Did I do the right thing???

Did I do the right thing???Guess you just answered your own question by declining,right.

In and out of the university in 20 minutes. In the process, 3 nurses looked at my vaccination booklet, finger counted the months (just shy of 4 months), and directed me upstairs for the shot.

[Bandung_Dero]

Did you previously have Pfizer or a miss match soup?

[parrot]

pfizer, pfizer, pfizer. Five individuals I know now have the same......same time schedule as well

[Bandung_Dero]

Next point of interest is if the 3rd Pfizer appears on your certification (yellow book, vaccination QR etc.)

Now I don't know!

Having lived with the yellow book for the past several months, I'm thinking the Thailand Certificate of Covid-19 Vaccination, that you receive at the vaccination site, is as good. I can take a photo of the QR code on that paper and it takes me to the MOPH website with my vaccine info on it. Carry a copy of that certificate in your phone gallery, instead of the yellow book. Comments?
Yes, the Certificate, and the MOPH website show pfizer x 3

I don't think anyone's trying to cheat the system. The nurses at the university clearly knew my shot 1/2 dates.....finger counted (with difficulty) the months after Sept. Had they told me I couldn't get a shot, I'd have left.....no problem.
It's possible the Udon folks are handling things like the Udon Immigration folks handle things......on their own terms.

[parrot]

Another Udon expat and his wife went in for third shots today....got the shots, then waiting for the certificate, were told they hadn't yet had their first/second shot. Despite having the 1/2 shot certificate and passport, the people couldn't find their info in the computer. They tapped the IT guy for help and he sorted things out. They were in the computer. I recall having this problem most every time I go to Bangkok Hospital.........something to do with the way they enter first, middle, last name in their system.

NO BOOSTERS

The World Health Organization and the European Union regulators are advising against repeated COVID-19 vaccine boosters amid overwhelming data that indicate they are ineffective at stopping the COVID variants.
Booster shots could “adversely affect the immune system”.
Booster doses could eventually weaken the immune system.
The only question is how many more people will be harmed before American public health authorities announce their surrender.

Thank you, so long as the 3rd shot is shown in the Thai system I can update my status through the AIR (Australian Immunisation Records).

Please do not pollute this thread with "antivax" crap.
We don't want to see it here.

For the complete picture - from Bloomberg, which is whom "amgreatness" (sic) above is quoting:

Boosters “can be done once, or maybe twice, but it’s not something that we can think should be repeated constantly,” Marco Cavaleri, the EMA head of biological health threats and vaccines strategy, said at a press briefing on Tuesday.
