They all work, but to varying degrees.

I will tell you Friday evening when we return home to Kanchanaburi. I don't want there to be any problems with my wife getting her first jab of Pfizer

My 52 yr old Thai wife, of 10 years, registered at the same time as I did, roughly 4-6 weeks ago. We both requested for the Pfizer. At that time she was told that she could not get a shot because she was not a foreigner. My first jab is scheduled for this Friday in BKK (we live in Kanchanaburi). No problem, I'll be there. Yesterday my wife received an SMS from the hospital that she was scheduled for a Pfizer jab on the 29th in BKK. She contacted the hospital & now we are both getting our first jabs this Friday in BKK. So your bit about 'only foreigners' couldn't be more incorrect.

What is the mission of the US Embassy? The mission of the United States Embassy is to advance the interests of the United States, and to serve and protect U.S. citizens. By refusing to help administer vaccines to their citizens, I sure don't see a lot of 'protecting' going on. Sure, we could all jump on a flight back to the U.S. (approx $1500 USD round trip), self quarantine for 7-10 days after negative test (that will run approx $500 USD), get 2 jabs of Pfizer/Moderna approx one month apart (that additional stay is going to cost, say $1500 USD), fly back into Thailand and be forced to quarantine in State approved ASQ facilities in deep red zones ($1000-2000 USD depending on your choice of luxury). We're talking a minimum of $4500 USD. There's roughly 40,000 US expats here in Thailand. Conservatively speaking, that comes out to $180,000,000 USD. Am I missing something here? Come on U.S. State Department. We're tax paying American citizens. Step up to the plate and do your job. Protect your citizens!

Would you care to share your age & any underlying health issues you may have?
