Thread: Who has received which Covid-19 vaccine

I got the second pfizer right on the 3 week mark - not sure if it was because it was so soon after the first one , but it hit me much harder than the first - I basically spent a day sleeping , felt fatigued , aching and a slight fever

The family in the Philippines got the full mix.

Daughter, working in a care profession, got AstraZeneca, very early.
Son, working on an airport, got Biontec/Pfizer recently.

Parents got Sputnik and Sinovac. Not great, but Sputnik is better than nothing. Not sure about Sinovac.

I am getting my second shot AstraZeneca this week. Wife in a month. The time between first and second shot is long at 3 months. AZ usually has the bigger side effects on the first shot. We both were quite tired for a few days, nothing dramatic.

Got my second jab an hour ago.

Pfizer, following AZ back in March.

Woohoo!

Going home for good in a couple of weeks, inshallah.

Double Woohoo!

Got my first AZ jab today after many postponements in the past

Felt quite down shortly after my second AZ shot. Good, my wife was with me to drive the car home. Things back to normal in the evening.

Out of interest, were you kept back for 30 minutes for monitoring, and did you get medical assistance?

Or was this after the thirty minute period?

Or was there no monitoring period?

There is a suggested 15 minutes waiting period for allergic reactions. I skipped a little of it. It was not allergic, just a general reaction. Similar on the first shot. Not as strong then but lasted a little longer. No medical assistance needed.

Here in the sandpit they keep you for 30 minutes.

It's 15mins here in Germany and I think the same in the UK.

Did my first dose (AstraZeneca) yesterday at JungCeylon, Patong. Appointment was for 13.00, though reading on other media, that's pretty much irrelevant. Anway, arrived at about 12.30, and there were crowds seated in the ground floor of what is a multi storey car park. Went to a desk, producing the paperwork that I'd been told to bring, and was given a new piece of paper. Then told to take a seat with the 'crowds'. Essentially, socially distanced chairs in files of five. They appeared to be processing batches of 10, with this number being given paper lottery style tickets and directed into the main building. I guess that I was inside after about an hour.

More socially distanced chairs, waiting to start the process proper. Eventually my 'batch' called forward to differing desks where blood pressure/pulse was taken, before joining a snake like queue, airport immigration style, to a row of desks where administrators were inputting details before handing out another piece of paper. A further snake like line to the final 'admin' desks, then I was directed to an actual nurse dispencing the vaccines. Couple of minutes there, then to a 'rest' area which had another desk where my passport was handed over and some stickers put on the back of it.

I went to sit down for 30 minutes, but after about 5 noticed that some of my 'batch' had disappeared, so walked out myself. Having texted her, M'Sahib was outside, and I was on my way home. The whole exercise took probably 2 hours. The website is still showing my second dose in just under 12 weeks, though anticipate this will be reduced to 8 per a recent announcement.

15 minutes for me after the first one - unmonitored after the second one, and I'd had no problem before so I just left.

The wife gets Pfizer tomorrow morning. No-one here seems to want J&J or AZ.

She was fine on the same day as the jab but felt unwell for the next two days, headache and lethargic.

Still nothing for me.
I went to the walk-in centre today, having learned that they would have stock today. I went before opening time and there were 12 people ahead of me. Despite my polite smile (inside a mask) I was refused. They explained it was appointments only. I showed them the app on my phone which showed no appointments available and asked how I can get an appointment. Apparently I can't.
After the 12 had gone in and the gf and I were the only people waiting in a car park full of empty chairs I tried again, pointing out their complete lack of customers, but they would not be moved. They told me to come back another day and refused to suggest which day.
TIT.

Got my second shot yesterday. AZ for the first, Moderna for the second. Seems a lot of good research coming out that mixing the vaccines is really effective.

Just a heads up on this. Under the current terms of the "Phuket Sandbox" where no quarantine is required for fully vaccinated visitors, applicants for Certificates of Entry with mixed doses are being refused. Obviously that might change in the future, however that's the status at the moment.

There's no rhyme or reason to it all.

No clarification = No tourists.


Tourism is finished till at least 2022 imho.

Good for you both, do you know when you may get the second vaccine?

That's a bit fucking funny when they are giving people a Pfizer shot to try and make the shitty chinky vaccines work.

They should be banning Sinovac and Sinopharm as well if the issue is lack of efficacy.

So what is the fix for this? MM has had AZ then Moderna. If she wanted to arrive at Phuket would she need a third jab, being either AZ or Moderna, to have twoof the same?
Will doctors give you a third jab? Sometimes , in the case of vaccinations other than Covid, people can react badly if they are effectively vaccinated already.

Current status is that she wouldn't get a CoE until as you point out, she has an additional AZ or Moderna. As an aside, Moderna doses are being advertised from Bangkok Hospital, Phuket, with applications open from tomorrow morning. Anticipated actual vaccination to take place October/December. I've had one AZ, with the second booked for September. This allows me freedom of movement should I wish to travel out of Phuket within Thailand and return. I will probably get the Moderna ones also purely for medical reasons rather than convenience.

Really? I didn't read that in this article, but if it that is true, I think it is a really dumb rule as many millions of Canadians are told now to mix with an Mrna vaccine for their second dose as it is more effective than two shots of AZ. So I hope they change that because that will leave many people out, not just in Canada.

There are a few Facebook groups that are swamped with questions about the process to use the Sandbox, and there are many instances of people providing feedback on their experiences. The mixed dose vaccination reason for refusal of CoE is common.
