you seem to be having much difficulty in obtaining a vaccine. May I ask where you live and are you over 60? If you are within a reasonable travelling distance of Khon Kaen, why not register with the Bangkok hospital in that fair city if you are over 60,however if you have one of the stated underlying conditions I don't think age is relevant,but I could be wrong. Appreciate that you may also too late. Not much comfort currently, but I believe that there will be an improvement in the availability of Western vaccines Sept/Oct this year,so don't dispair. That is my 'unofficial' understanding.

Well done you, nothing wrong with AZ vaccine. Over the long term, the latest data available, I understand, indicates that whilst initially Pfizer gives the greater protection, however, after about 5-6 months AZ is as good and doesn't lose the immunity it offers as quickly as Pfizer. Just have to be extra vigilant during that time. I had many attempts to register with Intervac but was never successful.

With the greattest of respect you have ignored my comment that Sinovacis not recognised the UK nor is it likely to be in the medium term.

Where there's life there's hope! Having read yeterday that the vaccine rollout was in first gear, I decided to do the rounds in KK to see if my luck had changed. And yes it has - no longer am I told 'falang must wait' instead I was overjoyed to know that it will be 'soon'. I asked what 'soon' meant and was told 'soon'. To be honest I was offered Sinovac, but as it is my plan to go to the UK within the next 6 months, I declined as my family tell me I wil not be allowed into many places (Restaurants,pubs,cinemas etc) if I do not have a UK recognised vaccination. AZThailand will be acceptable I am told and the liklihood of this being confirmed shortly is re-assuring. MrNA vaccines are also medically a no-no for me.

Fit as I am, I might find a round trip (Walk) of about 1000 kms a little tiring????. Thanks forthe thought anyway,

How perceptive ofyou as that was their precise words.

I am 83 going on 84 and have not received a 'peep'from the hospitals I am registered with. They probably have me as ' forgotten in Issan'
