Tried with one girl, but she was not interested in a conversation. Actually no one there was.
Okay, got an appointment set up for next week. Was really quick and easy.
What kind of papers do you get after being fully vaccinated?
This is the one a redditor got. Itās from the reddit thread further up of a guy detailing his experience getting the shot in Taiwan.
I got the exact same card.
They will write in the date for the next vaccine.
You wait 30 minutes to make sure you arenāt having bad effects.
Say whatever about ārisk of blood clotsā but you run a higher risk of blood clot flying long haul flights (nothing to do with covid but long periods of sitting like on a plane has been known to cause DVT).
You will also join a LINE group (QR code in the waiting room) to report your health for the next 3 days. It will tell you to get the second dose when the time comes.
But that is easy to prevent.
From those getting shots in the U.S., they say do not take any over-the-counter medicine the first night you go to sleep after getting the first dose.
If you wake up in the morning and feel a little off-kilter, then nurses say you can take acetaminophen. The name-brand is Tylenol, but generic acetaminophen is the same.
They say do not take ibuprofen.
So is not taking the AZ vaccine and dying 
Statistically, you have the same chance of dying from one dose of the vaccine as you do from dying in a traffic (bus, car, motorcycle, pedestrian) accident in any 3 day period in Taiwan. If the possibility of dying scares you then you shouldnāt leave your house. Ever.
Thatās what the doctor at Mackay told me too. He said that ibuprofen will dull the immune response, and I didnāt want to go through all the hassle of getting the shot just to dull my immune response.
Is it likely that one vaccine, say AZ, will yield a more attenuated immunity than another, say Moderna? Put another way, I am asking could it turn out that one vaccine ends up with a booster schedule which is much more frequent than another?
For example, perhaps in the wash up, one vaccineās schedule is every 5 years, while another brand requires annual boosters. I am curious about what is known so far of how different the vaccines are in this respect. I realise it is an evolving situation.
All vaccines will require boosters .
On a non related note: there is this very humble place near work where they make this amazing chicken soup. The bosses are really nice and try to add freebies to keep customers coming. A couple of days ago they had home made pineapple drink for free. It was quite good. Boss was proudly introducing it to allā¦until a snotty uppity office lady told him in a most disgusting tone that she did not drink cold stuff. 
That gives me an idea: maybe I can wear the same pressure socks I wear for long haul flights? Maybe that will help?
Honestly, the danger of being run in Taiwan over must be statistically higher. Bonus points if you ride bike/scooter, but pedestrian aināt safe.
It is entirely possible that there are differences, but as of now it is not known what they are. However, what is known is that your immunity following vaccination appears to last longer on average than following actual covid infection in real life
I just signed up for my jab for next Tuesday in Taoyuan. I was surprised how simple the online registration was. If anyone in Taoyuan is interested hereās the site for Taoyuan General Hospital (in English as well):
Do you have a source for this? Normally it is the other way around. Infection confers lifelong immunity, vaccination confers attenuated immunity.
I took some acetaminophen the night before because I was feeling kinda bad. They did not tell me that I couldnāt take any over the counter meds.
But right now I feel like crap. Chills, headache, dizziness, fever, etc.
Wait, so you recently received the AZ jab?
