Yes, that is the one. Very helpful and so much easier than doing the paperwork. Can be done no more than 4 months before you can claim.

If you can using skype or whatever, ring them as it is the quickest and easiest way to do this. Took about 10 minutes then they will send you an sms when all is completed. Did mine back in Feb this year.

As I have just posted on another thread, my gut feeling is that this expatvac site is just going to quietly disappear into never never land. An exercise to appease the foreign embassies and such like and that is all! The pfizer has gone with some to deserving people like the front line and the rest???? I am not expecting to get any message and living out in the sticks make this even more unlikely. Too few of us spread out in different provinces outside of Bangkok, causing a logistical nightmare.

My gut feeling is that this expatvac is going to quietly slip away into the realms of never never land. Just an exercise to appease foreign embassies and the like with no real teeth. Pfizer has all but disappeared to other people, some who deserve it like genuine front line staff and the rest?????????? I am not holding out any hope of any message for us out in the sticks as we are few and far between and a logistical nightmare.

It makes me wonder if Sinovac was deemed safe because it is or whether it is to shift the stock?? I will wait to hear, maybe, from expatvac or wait until Oct for the moderna which we had registered for. We have been informed this is 100% going to happen. Their words, not mine.

I am the same with hearing absolutely nothing from expatvac. I am 66 and live down in Bang Saphan Noi and today anyone and everyone can go to the local Amphur office and get Sinovac. Now, I am sure they had stated that Sinovac was not suitable for over 60s yet they are administering it! Is this to get rid of the stock and make the numbers look good? What will the future hold for those having Sinovac?

There has been some comments made about there being 2 sides to this problem in Thailand. I live here and have made my home with my wife and 19 month old son. I think you have to sit back and just look at the situation honestly. I do not feel that there is one person who lives here who does not want to see the country get out of this mess and have tourism back. We all want to get people back in work so others from around the world can enjoy their time here. But we have to be realistic about this. Until we can get this virus under control and get the vaccinations out to everyone, then this will not happen. Nobody wants to visit a country where the virus is rife, nothing is open and in a semi lockdown. Until this changes then I am afraid tourism is just not going to happen. Don't get me wrong as I want to see everything come back to life so I can go touring around the country and show my son different sights and animals. It is not going to happen as things stand at the moment. The government has cocked this up big time and nobody can say any different. The vaccine roll out has been a farce from day one for everybody because somebody never thought about procuring vaccines at the right time. Now we are playing catch up and that is very dependent on the supply of vaccines. I am still waiting to get mine as I am 66 and registered with my local hospital. Have to wait until Thais are done which is fair comment. Only Sinovac available now which is not suitable for my age group nor acceptable if I have to fly to UK. I have missed out on being able to be with my Mum in the UK for her 90th in July as well as other functions. Just cost prohibitive and too many unknowns undertaking a trip like that and I do not want to be away for months missing the boy. Registered with the expat site and still awaiting a message to let me know where and when. The hope for Pfizer is diminishing now and it may be AZ. We are registered privately for the Moderna, whenever that will materialise! A friend has just messaged me to say he arrived UK Friday gone at 09.00 and had his first jab at 12.30!! That is how crazy it is unfortunately! So yes, I want to put a positive spin on everything but looking at facts and figures does make that difficult at times. Yes, get this country opened up again but only when it is safe to do so otherwise what is a bad scenario at the moment could get worse and none of us want that to happen. Nobody can predict what the next 6 months will bring us as things stand and we have to take each day as it comes and hope that there will be a light at the end of the tunnel.
