It's not "info". It's  a regulation.  Not information. 

Trying to imply an embassy or consulate (under MOFA) would care whatever a MOPH says is laughable.  If you really think so you don't understand Asian bureaucracy. "They have their rules,  we have our rules".

BTW please tell us when they update their "info". 

 

Why don't you confirm it with the embassy yourself like this person did.  Care to revise your statement and admit you were wrong?

The Virus is very real, and not overblown. 

Sinovac is ineffective against the virus. 

Sinovac and CP are not in the business of fighting a virus.  They are in the business of making money. In the past,  the business model of Sinovac used to be paying off regulators and selling bad vaccines to corrupt countries.  They are doing the same now. 

The sold about 300m doses, profit in the same order of magnitude as Pfizer. 

CP owns a percentage of Sinovac. 

 

I see, so Sinovac is all a giant conspiracy and the WHO is even in on it.  Ok roger that.

I don't get this, japan has donated 1.05 million vaccine to Thailand, yet Japan has just had another covid out break, and read they have only vacciated 5%  of the population and that's the reason there will be no spectators at the olimpics

The doses were probably going to expire soon and I don't think many people in Japan want AZ.

Well, I read the Reuters link that shdmn provided and it says many counties are allowing mixed inoculations in the case where the AZ vaccine was administered first. This because of questions about blood clots.

With more countries being added almost daily now that are not mentioned in that article, such as Germany now.

why don't you simply answer the question - it is all good information, everyone is interested 

 

I am not accusing you of anything - even shady, far from it 

 

but if you refuse to answer and share the info what was the point posting at all 

I read the (unintentionally) funniest stuff on this message board sometimes.

I don't think that many (any?) countries would currently accept a mixed dose vaccination. I suspect they will but at a glacial pace. Does WHO recognize mixed vaccinations as being effective? Usually approval follows large Phase 3 trials. Have there been any of those?

Well they do. WHO approval is also just a matter of time.

Fake news.

No consulate would care what some MOPH says.

Here is the screenshot from the consulate in Munich, as of right now:

At 2.2 it says "The two inoculations must be from the same manufacturer."

 

It is the consulate that gives you COE and visa. Not the MOPH.

They probably have not updated their info yet.  They don't set any of these policies without using MOPH guidance.  Trying to imply otherwise is laughable.

Sinovac may not be effective against some stupid virus.

But it its very effective for the bottom line of CP.

And that is what counts. 

So it's simultaneously ineffective against a virus that you think is overblown and is all a giant conspiracy to line pockets?  

The prezel logic I read around here sometimes in an effort to deny science and paint Thais as all corrupt and incompetent would impress most world class gymnasts.

both my questions were valid - you made a statement which was incomplete 

 

I will ask again (simple question) were you fully vaccinated with either vaccine i.e 2 shots of either 

 

which country has (apart from Thailand it seems)  approved this administration of vaccine if only one dose 

 

fairly simple question 

 

go for it

You seem to be trying to imply I am doing something shady or something...lol.  Keep going down that rabbit hole if it makes you happy.  If my first reply (which I edited before you posted this bizarre Inspector Clouseau questioning of yours) isn't good enough for you then too bad so sad.

the key info you have omitted - were you fully vaccinated with either

 

what country did this happen, were those providing the vaccine fully made aware of your vaccine status 

Of course they were fully aware.  I have a legit gov't certificate in paper and verifiable digital form showing I had 2 shots and that the first was AZ and the second was Pfizer and I am now considered officially fully vaccinated.  I am not aware of any country where you can mix doses without gov't approval to do so.

Mixed vaccinations are not accepted for the Phuket Sandbox, it is somewhere in the published rules.

Apparently that's not true anymore as mentioned in another thread.

This really sucks. I had AZ + Pfizer and unlikely I will be able to get a 3rd shot so I hope this stupid policy changes soon. I am pretty sure there are multiple peer reviewed studies on it's effectiveness or will be shortly.

I had mixed jabs of AZ + Pfizer and I was a little concerned Thailand wouldn't accept that as fully vaccinated.  I haven't seen any official announcements about it but I think this news makes it more likely they will probably accept it without much hesitation now.

There have been a few good studies now.  All the experts seem to think it's fine as well.

I got AZ on my first one and felt horrible next day.  Pfizer for my 2nd one about 12 weeks later and never had any side effects at all even though they say side effects tend to be worse when you mix.

ex military quite possibly.........

 

Loser, most definitely.

But the doom mongers here told me nobody is coming.  Why would airlines file requests for more flights?  The airlines are clearly all stupid and should be coming to this messageboard for advice.

How many real tourists did we see?

The guy from Oman and his Thai wife weren't tourists, they were just a Thai/Expat couple returning.

The only real tourists appeared to be the Israeli couple ......... so that's 2.

 

And now they're locking down Bangkok, and closing schools in Chiang Mai, and the COVID man on the Phuket plane, and the tourist breakout to see Thai wife (so not a tourist) .......... realistically, how long is Phuket likely to remain open?

You also believe the world is flat and the moon landings were fake?

I'm upset because it's 'fake news' which I thought was against the law.

Things aren't getting better ......... they're getting worse.

(In CM they just closed all the schools again)

 

At this point in time, I'd be happy if they just allowed me to hold the empty cup.

So those tourists walking around are all paid actors?

Is this forum sponsored by the junta ?

Clearly not with all the doom mongers around here.  You seem quite upset at the positive news in this thread.  Why is that?  Can't stand the thought of the cup being half full?

Buh but the doom mongers here tell me there are no tourists.  That it's all fake news.  So how can taxis be gouging imaginary tourists?

Princ Hospital Group allowed pre-registration and today opened for payment. I had already registered the other day so upon receiving a message that I could now pay starting at 9 a.m., I tried but was unsuccessful despite probably more than 30 attempts. Finally, a message appeared on the screen advising that they were temporarily closing payment registration due a system overload. 

It's almost as if there is lots of demand to get vaccinated or something.  Who'd a thunk.  It's not like that didn't happen in pretty every single other country in the world at first.  Including strained websites and initial bugs.
