From what I read, I will only be able to hold off a moderna appointment for 3 months until it’s expiry date.

I haven't read the thread, but wish to comment.
I know a quite smart woman through a Social group, she's probably plugged into Social Media a bit much.
She is waiting for the Moderna vaccine.
She well eligible for the Pfizer jab.
THE BEST VACCINE IS THE ONE YOU CAN GET TODAY
I've been double vaxxed with astrazeneca.
The booster will come in about 4 months and most likely it will be either Pfizer or Moderna
6 months between the initial 2 shots and the booster is the advice I hear.
BTW ... no-one in these parts, forum or where I live are discussing the J&J vaccine?
From studies of antibody levels — 3 modernas top the list, followed by 2 pfizers and a moderna booster.
J&J and Astrazenaca are at the bottom.

Spent a few minutes looking around, took a while to find it, but the JJ vaccine is simply not heavily distributed in this part of the world. It is distributed to 66 countries (compare with astra which goes to 181 countries), mostly in the Americas, Africa and Europe (this link, towards the bottom of the page):

^ Thanks for that Nid.
I'm not a subscriber, thus can't read the article.
But, if it's not distributed much in Thailand or where I live, not much point discussing it.
Just thought it was different because, from memory, it was a 'one jab' vaccine.
CDC says people can 'mix and match' COVID boosters: What to know
"Adults who are eligible for a booster can get any of the three coronavirus vaccines: Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson.
What's the difference between the COVID-19 vaccines?
While all three vaccines have the same effect."

From a list of three.
Possibly useful info for a NaGastani based reader, but Thailand?

A tray full of GOLD is not worth a moment in time.
^ Wait wait...Are the post Delta vaccines different in some way? I just had my third Pfizer last Friday (thank you Saudi MoH). I'd be up for a weekly jab if that was what it would take to rid ourselves of this bastard virus.
Agreeing that "Delta showed a significant increase in transmissibility" but I have a different understanding of the need for the Booster Shot.
Searched google for efficacy curve of a covid vaccine vs time ... got the below from the Financial Times
Is this the waning of immunity over time?
It could be that declining efficacy is caused by waning immunity, supporting the argument for a third shot.
Studies have shown antibody levels decline over time although scientists have not identified the level where they stop being protective.
Other parts of the immune system, such as the harder-to-monitor T-cells, also play a role in fighting the virus.

Ah, I see.
^^ Bit of both really. Waning antibodies for early vaccinated + breakthrough infections even in the newly vaccinated = Booster shot.
This article is interesting, analyzing studies from the mayo clinic, the CDC, etc.

Moderna vs. Pfizer: Is There a “Best” mRNA Vaccine?
Both of the mRNA vaccines available in the US are highly effective against severe COVID-19, but recent studies suggest that Moderna’s elicits a stronger immune response and might be better at preventing breakthrough infections.
Research published in recent weeks, however, suggests the Moderna vaccine’s advantage in terms of long-term protection. In multiple independent studies, significantly lower antibody levels and more vaccine breakthrough infections have been detected in the Pfizer/BioNTech-vaccinated population. These could be explained by a myriad of slight differences between the vaccines themselves: their distinct dosages, the intervals between the two doses, or the composition of the lipid nanoparticles used in each one. For now, all possibilities remain open.

Glad to see this thread is being occupied by a smart bunch of people. So sick of reading anti-vaxx bullshit. mRNA technology is awesome and is the future of medicine. I once invested in a Bio company in the early 00's. They were trying to use mRNA to hunt down and kill HIV cells before they could multiple.
Back to the topic in hand. My partner has gotten her que number, 500k odd. Still, better than 1million. As someone else stated before, I think whatever western vaccine you can get your hands on just take it. I wouldn't trust the Chinese vaccines with a barge poll. I don't think they are poisonous if made correctly but in China you just know someone somewhere will be undercutting the manufacturing process to make a few extra bucks. I do not trust the CCP when they say they are in full control of the manufacturing etc balls.
I flew back to the UK to get my two Pfizer jabs, a costly journey but I did not want to have to wait around. First jab I had a very stuffy face/ blocked nose thing going on. 2nd time nothing. Both times arm pain.
Chok dee krap
At my hospital, they've offered putting off the second Moderna dose until next year, if desired.
One can also transfer doses to another person, if they want — according to government policy, apparently.
Jab orders on track for transfer
He said those who have made a booking are free to reschedule their appointment and/or nominate someone else to take their place.
One of my friends just got a bad reaction from his first dose of Moderna. Heart palpitations and rotten feeling, fatigue. He is 70 but very healthy.
In a study of 2.3 million, only two got this reaction after he first dose. Thirteen after the second.
