Packages and programs for everyone to stay healthy, including COVID-19 patients and those recovering from COVID-19.

According to information from World Health Organization (WHO)

COVID-19 is the disease caused by a new coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2. COVID-19 spreads mainly by droplets or aerosols from the nose or mouth of infected person. The onset of symptoms is around 2 14 days. The symptoms of COVID 19 include fever, fatigue, headache, runny nose, sore throat, cough, loss of taste or smell. Some people may experience severe symptoms like pneumonia and death.

COVID-19 Symptoms

The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, dry cough, fatigue, nasal congestion, muscle or joint pain, sore throat, headache, chills or dizziness, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, conjunctivitis (also known as red eyes).

COVID-19 Testing

If symptoms such as a fever, coughing, sneezing, and nausea are present, or if the patient is otherwise deemed to be at risk of contracting COVID-19 there are numerous ways to confirm whether an infection has occurred or not:

Detecting the viral RNA with rRT-PCR

Detecting the viral protein with antigen test kit (ATK)

Checking your antibody responses

3.1 The IgM/IgG antibody test (RDT: Rapid Diagnostic Test)

3.2 Quantitative testing for IgG response to SARS-CoV-2

3.3 Testing for the neutralizing (NT) antibody

Further information on the testing of the immune system response to COVID-19

If you test negative after being fully vaccinated, it may be because:

The blood sample is too old
You are immunocompromised or taking immunosuppressants.
The particular properties of vaccine that you received
The inherently differing physiological responses that occur across ages and gender.

Testing positive does not necessarily mean that you will not be infected or spread the virus to others. It is advised that you continue to stringently follow Ministry of Public Health guidelines.

COVID-19 Vaccines

There are several different types of COVID-19 vaccine. Each type is designed and manufactured differently. Some of the most common ones are:

mRNA Vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech / ModernaTM)

Viral Vector Vaccine (AstraZeneca / Johnson & Johnson)

Protein-Based Vaccine (Novavax)

Inactivated Vaccine (SinoVac / Sinopharm)

Efficacy of the mRNA vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech / ModernaTM)

COVID-19 vaccines come from various technologies of vaccine manufacturing. The mRNA COVID-19 vaccines use genetically engineered mRNA to give your cells instructions for how to make the spike protein found on the surface of the COVID-19 virus. After vaccination, your immune cells begin making the spike protein pieces and displaying them on cell surfaces. This causes your body to create antibodies that will fight the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Thailand has approved two mRNA COVID-19 vaccines as the following:

COMIRNATYTM (Pfizer-BioNTech)

COVID-19 Vaccine Moderna

Who should get the COVID 19 vaccine?

People who are at risk of COVID 19 infection such as medical personnel as well as workers and officials tasked with disease control or are in contact with patients, and people who are at risk of severe COVID 19 disease such as elderly, obesity, and those with lung disease, heart disease, diabetes mellitus, immunocompromised, stroke, cancer, etc.

The safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccine in pregnancy and breastfeeding have not been yet established. Breastfeeding and pregnancy after the first 12 weeks could be considered to receive the COVID-19 vaccine but after a discussion of the benefits and risks with their healthcare professional.
