    Your personal issue has nothing whatsoever to do with topic in hand, which is the legality of insisting upon employees accept a vaccine offered by the company.

     

    If you you feel that Sinovac doesn't suit you then you're free to seek an alterative. Personally though, I think your fears are unfounded and Sinovac will soon join the list of WHO approved vaccines.

     

    WHO Inches Closer to Approval of Chinese vaccine

    1) Your are right, my comment is only indirectly related to the legality question, but important for the decision process about risking the job or not... I think teachers in Thai schools will soon ALL face that dilemma, when the government decides to mandate vaccinations for teachers without offering alternativ vaccines. 
    2) WHO approval is irrelevant and - given the reputation of that body - I do not expect any country to say "if WHO approves it, we will do so also"... I need individual countries to accept the vaccines that will be put in my body, not the Chinese-driven WHO

    I've required 3 letters from Immigration over the last few weeks and even thoughI write my address in English on the form when I pick the letter up they have translated it into Thai ???? Don't know if they would keep it in English if you ask nicely though. Got to be worth a try and the girl at counter 9 would probably tell you if she can or can't before you stump up the 300 baht

    As far as I remember, there is a "reason" box on the form... that is where I write "English language address certificate for XY government" or something similar. Never been refused in Jomtien

    It has never been on the list of documents they require of me.  Although you would expect it to fit their needs.  A few issues with Jomtiem/Chonburi.... the CORs are always in Thai when I have got them. They also seem very fussy about knowing why you need one, and in some cases ask for supporting paperwork. 

    Well, I did get a few certificates from Jomtien in the past years, and when you tell them you need them in English for purpose of "Address Verification for XY Government", they will do it. I have never been asked for additional paperwork, last time I needed one was in September last year. Just an idea for you, certainly cheaper and less time consuming than looking for a certified translator

    I don't think wanting access to vaccines on a time line that isn't discriminatory based on nationality is whining at all. In other words, if it's time for over 60s its basic medical ethics for it to be time for all over 60s in a country. I don't think wanting that is shooting anyone in the foot. Instead it's entirely reasonable. I don't think this has anything to do with obviously off topic Brevit. I agree Thailand will never be the same after the pandemic. You could say the same about any country. 

    When you are right, you are right, and that should be said.

    We need to team up and DEMAND the right to medicine (which is basically what this is at this time).

     

    Imagine if they made some services at a hospital in America only for certain people? 

    EXACTLY what they do in America: Pre-Biden White-Rich before Black-Poor, now Everybody before Whites

    Same here. The app requests a number on the back starting with 2 letters, which the Thai ID card has. The pink card I have seen has a number starting with only 1 letter, so is not accepted by the app.

    Not sure, what you do or what app you are using.. my number on the back starts with "B" followed by all numbers and was accepted by the app... nothing about 2 letters...

    My understanding is that there are no online English options and a Thai driver's license definitely will not work.

     

    Pattaya private hospitals don't have anything and aren't taking names but if interested keep checking but it might take months  

     

    I am also seeking a confirmed sure thing place to manually register with passport. I am high risk and don't want to be running around town risking infection just looking. 

     

    There is a report from another member, that he registered in Pattaya Memorial, using the app. So it seems some private hospitals are further in the process than others. I would recommend therefore, that you call them with your questions. They always have reasonable well English speakers at the front desk.

    Thanks. 

     

    Followed the same process exactly - and failed yet again......  the two number inputs are really the only ones that can be at fault.  Small hope it's the site - will try again after lunch (God this is frustrating....)

    check your birthday, actually the birth year... make sure that you calculate it correctly into your Thai year of birth: 
    Current year in Thai - Current Year in Europe + Birth year in Europe, for me this was 2564 - 2021 + 1960
