And nine out of ten dentists concur...the "one dose is awesome" mantra seem's to be the government's messaging as of today, both for Phuket/sandboxes and the wider country as vaccine supplies shrink.

Suspect that if at least one person has had one dose then the area is good to go.




Sinovac virus jabs 'effective' in Phuket


The Sinovac Covid-19 vaccine was 83.3% effective at reducing infections and the severity of the disease, a study by the Public Health Ministry found. No lung infections in vaccine recipients were reported.

Permanent secretary for public health Kiattiphum Wongrajit said the study, conducted among 386 Covid-19 patients in Phuket, found that six patients who had received two doses of the vaccine did not have a lung infection. Four of 31 people who were infected after receiving the first dose did have a lung infection.

Some 22% of people in Phuket have received two doses of Covid-19 vaccine while 45% have received the first dose, he said. As of May 17, there were no new infections in Phuket among people who had received two doses, Dr Kiattiphum said.
