Andrew Dwyer

Care to enlighten us with some more info ?

Similar storyline for me, I registered Sunday evening (Aug 1st) , got a 19.30 slot on Wed Aug 11th. “ Prefers Pfizer “ Today got an identical email. I live an hour north of MedPark and was hoping for a local shot from expatvac to avoid Bangkok but MedPark looks like it could be okay, not as crowded as Bang Sue ????

I have seen one report on here of someone receiving a a date of Friday 6th for Bang Sue, the recipient lives in an adjacent province, no vaccine stated. Plus, a different poster asking how to change or cancel an expatvac appointment also at Bang Sue, the reason is stated as being unknown origin of an AZ vaccine being offered.( presumably for future travel issues )

Did your mate book for Moderna ?? I read somewhere, a Richard Barrow tweet I think, that some people who paid for Moderna upfront will be reimbursed or offered another appointment for April 2022 when Moderna vaccine MKll should be available.

The “ it works for me no problem “ posts are annoying but so are the “ it has never worked “ posts. I reported online no problem until the site went down, did a report in person during downtime. Site back up, could not report in person despite many different browsers and experimental filling in of online form ( only fill asterisk, use drop downs etc ), must have tried +40 times, visit in person. This week, similar experience, tried 10 times over a couple of days, no joy, prepared to visit IO, photo copies and TM47 form. Decided to give the app a try, initially couldn’t get past first page, then got to submit but got an error message , apparently a communication error. Went back to website, W10 and IE, worked first time, pending and accepted about 20 hours later !! So, does the online report work ?? ….. yes and no !! For some - works first time For others - never works For a few - will for some unknown reason decide to play ball after many attempts. My recommendation would be: Keep trying ,as long as your patience allows , then choose in person or mail in, grab a cold one from the fridge and chill ????

Regarding expatvac: is only the tweets that seem to suggest Aug 10 as a starting point. I had a Pfizer preferred appointment for evening of Aug 11th at MedPark, received an email today : @mtls2005 Have just seen your post on the other thread, so it appears that you know as much as I do . Seems like we will not know for certain what vaccine is offered until arrival for appointment. ” Dear Andrew Dwyer, With the recent announcement on the continuation of curfew hours, we realized that everyone may want a bit more flexibility to be able to get home a little earlier. Because of this, we’ve moved your appointment up so it is earlier in the day. And to give you flexibility, you can choose to get vaccinated at MedPark any day from 10 - 12 August, 2021 at any time between 08:00 to 19:00 hrs. We hope this works better for you. Please arrive within the above time period, and show your original copy of current passport along with this email. Please let us know if this schedule does not work for you, and we can work something out! See you at MedPark! MedPark Team

Yes, I am 63 km north of Bang Sue and would definitely prefer somewhere more local, but doubt it will happen. Hopefully common sense will prevail with more localities becoming available, there was talk of Buriram getting some of the Pfizer so that is good news for Isaanites, obviously not for you @Saltire.

Ditto. The app has never worked for me but I was just approved via the website despite the website giving me some grief a couple of days ago and prepared to visit in person. Give the website a few tries.

Actually not true !! The window was changed around a year ago , is now 15 days up until your due date . Although , some say is best to use 14 days i.e. if your due date on a Tuesday you can start to attempt online reporting on a Tuesday 2 weeks before.

Indications are that Pfizer will only be available Aug 10th onwards. MedPark has now said vaccines available 10 - 12th Aug , presumably for Pfizer preference ( over 60’s only )

Okay So we have seen one report of a confirmed appointment slot so far. Appointment: Bang Sue Grand Station Residence: Pathum Thani While Pathum is just “ up the road “ it is disappointing that the poster didn’t get a more local appointment. I am a little further up the road ( Ayutthaya ) and am hoping that there will be something available outside the Bangkok area but have my doubts. Any more confirmed appointments ??

I didn’t have any issues other than the initial confusion that just sending an email address was sufficient for pre-registration. I did use an alternative email address and then use the “ insert a period/full stop “ method before realising that I had supplied enough information. As @Raybangkok stated, I received the support@ email as confirmation of receipt of email address and a link to registration. Confirmation of registration was from the expatvac@ email address.

Not all, as well as the above I also got a link to registration from: [email protected]

Not sure i understand this statement: ”All foreigners in all provinces will get Pfizer…….” followed by ” Some may be directed to Bang Sue Grand Station and will get Astra Zeneca ….. “ What am I missing ??

Detectorists ( U.K. tv series 2014 - 2017 ) Two likeable losers in search of the Holy Grail find their chance of becoming millionaires “ this time next year “ under threat with the arrival of Simon and Garfunkel !!

I read somewhere of a theory that as frontline health workers will be getting a Pfizer booster vaccination the vaccines will be distributed to various cities and should include vaccines for foreigners who have registered. Should take a week to 10 days to organise . Might be horse khrap of course but sounds a reasonable plan .

I managed to get to the submit page of the app but then got an error message several times. Tried the website and it worked despite not working for me yesterday or many times 90 days ago.

@ubonjoe @skatewash Due to the app showing some signs of life ( never got to the submit page before) I thought I would give the website one last go ………….. and it worked …. now pending !! Windows 10, IE Saved me a trip ????

Yes, Medpark Pfizer appointments started on August 10 but when I went on the site ( Sunday evening ) the first vacant slots were for evening of August 11.

I tried it twice just now on top of the three times I tried it an hour ago , all with the same message. Will try later on.

Yes, that’s what I thought but due to the error message I posted a couple of posts up I thought I would ask the question. Looks like a trip to IO, luckily it is only 10 minutes away.

A quick question: Am on a retirement extension from a 2017 OA visa , what do I put in “ visa issue date “ ” visa expiration date “ My original visa dates or my current extension dates ?

Just tried the app again, this time I got past the first page ( usually get a message to report only between 15 and 7 days and cannot progress ) This time got to submit, only to get this message: What’s that all about ?

Okay thanks UJ, I’ll mention it to them. My extension should be good as get this message on the app.

My online report looks like a failure again so will visit the IO, last report also failed online but previous to the site going down I could report online without problem. Has anyone had any success in reviving the online report at their IO by bringing it to their attention ?? Last time I forgot to mention it as was in and out in less than a minute but this time I aim to try and make them aware online doesn’t work for me. Or will I be wasting my breath ?? ( Ayutthaya IO )
