There have been loads, can't be bothered to look them up. 

I am well aware that other govts have had data stolen from databases . The bit i struggle to understand is the people that seem to defend the govt for having unsecured databases and  where those criticising them for it are called ‘bashers’ apart from the govts themselves and their pr shills. Very few would find it acceptable because someone else did it before.

100,000 visitors spending 1.2bn baht is only 12,000 baht each. Since they will have to pay 14 days for hotel fees can’t see there been much left.

That sounds odd - there is nothing on that paper that says who is vaccinated or with what.  How about if you want to use your vaccination paper to travel?  I thought you can travel within Thailand after you had your first jab.

i assume i will get these details with second jab. The moph say that the morprom app can do this however you need either thai id no or a 13 digit reference number which is allocated by hospital and, if you need the number, to contact  hospital that administered jab.

i did not take a copy of my docs before handing them back so not sure if this 13 digit number is on there. I did try the app with my pink id card number but it did said it was not in system - would be surprised if it was as everything registered under passport no.

Is there any other paper apart from that paper?  (Not asking for myself but asking for someone.) He said there was a paper with the appointment date only but there is no name on that paper.  What is the 'Kept the paper "to register with the government"'.... thanks.

There is a set of paperwork with a copy of your passport showing your details that they also manually add things like weight, height and bp to. The nurse puts the sticker from the vaccine with serial/batch details on it when giving the injection and writes the time on it. After you sat for 30 mins afterwards the time was checked and they took the paperwork back.

I assume these details are input to a central database as they have some way of knowing when the initally check that you have not been vaccinated elsewhere as apparently some have been turned away.

I beleive there may be a reference number on there to register for the moph digital passport thingy but i forgot to take a copy before they took it back but i assume this will be given at second vaccine in three weeks anyway.

the only bit you take away is the one Tingtong shows above.

It is the same one i used tuesday morning. Got appointment for next day that evening by sms and got given pfizer vaccine yesterday.

Nothing about boosters,nothing Will repeat Sky news

If it is the Dr Tim Spector interview you are referring to I am pretty certain he did not make the claim you attributed to him - it would be a pretty big turnaround given the BBC interview with him over the same study he did states:

Hello Orac,

do you live in Pattaya?  Is it also for foreigners who don't live in Pattaya?  Thank you.

i do live in Pattaya. The form needs your BPH hospital number so for people who have a number i guess.

A lot of foreigners are getting pfizer in bkk so there is a way to get you pfizer shots i would try to register for that first . I got my first pfizer shot yesterday at bumrungrad sukhumvit soi3 and will get the next on sept 13th free of charge . So maybe it's an idea to visit the website . And even if you have to travel to get it , i still think it's better then taking sinovac . 

Options now in Pattaya as well - i completed form with Bangkok Pattaya Hospital this morning for +40s and have appointment for pfizer vac tomorrow.

Friend had an invitation for August 18 which he could not attend as being vaccinated with AZ already.

Understanding that there are a lot of duplicates - I registered at four sites, prepaid for one, so far - that's still a lot.

 

If the regime is truly interested in getting everyone vaccinated ASAP, then they'd loosen the restrictions on the private, paid option.

 

I'd submit that, for a few reasons, they do not want the private option, so artificially constrain it.

 

 

To  be cynical, if the aim was to vacinate everyone, there would be no private scheme and they would order them from as many sources as possible with a clear plan of rollout based on need, however this would severely reduce the opportunities to take a cut for signing an order.

The even bigger cynic in me foresees a change in policy in a couple of months where all vaccines in Thailand are commandeered by the state for a national rollout plan and those who pay will be left waiting - those at the top of the tree will always get theirs first anyway and it would appeal to the massed ranks of poor voters….

Personally I have registered on three lists of which two involved a prepayment but will be surprised if i get anything this year.

A passenger was identified and now they are contact tracing. Isn't this how it should work?  

 

 

looks to be two separate incidents as the passenger arrived on a flight several days after the contact tracing dates.

Interesting that there is NW sign in one of the photos there.

Do you know if they were giving the Sinovac only or was AstraZeneca in the mix?

sorry - no idea on that and not mentioned on any of his posts.

Though on the first day of vaccination, they had a problem with 500 people, and since I haven't read anything anymore, so not sure if it's still operating

I did see on a local restaurants facebook page (Tropical) that staff went on first day and it was chaos with them being told to come back following morning - next day everything went smoothly and all staff were vacinated.

Thanks for the background...how did she procure such an important role with the Government with TAT?

family has a lot of pull at senior levels - her uncle Sirichai owns the likes of Dusit Thani and Thanachart Bank. I did see somewhere that another uncle had been a senior adviser to several governments in the past of various political and non-political persuasions. The family name itself, Bulakul, is derived from “Bul”as in Pibulsongkhram, one of Thailands early dictators, and “Kul” meaning clan.
