The date of the booster shot MUST be dependent on the second dose you have received previously. This must be evident to the Bangkok Hospital since this is a medical necessity. To pass on the responsibility for their storage to the customer is therefore neither sensible nor acceptable. When you paid you are entitled to get the shots at the time required and not when their logistics does allow that. Rather they have to change their procedures I would suggest. It is their responsibility to provide the service - especially when you could not even indicate the date of the vaccination at the time of the order. Concerning payment: When I ordered a so-called "full course" for my wife and a booster shot for me back in August I was redirected to "SCB BDMS PATTAYA E-COMMERCE (via 2C2P, a wellknown payment processor) where I could pay with a Visa Credit Card . The transaction was completed successfully and correctly and I received a confirmation (of the payment - not with a vaccination date of course) via email from the payment processor. I do not have a Line application and will never have one. I would love to see a reversed trend that everybody does not necessarily presumes that all citizens use Line, Facebook or Twitter. A contingent was not mentioned at the time when we ordered the Moderna and neither this passage that you posted above (Q&A).

Be prepared that some Database will get you. You might have been registered.

That is an argument. But it says in your quote of boomer6969 ".....COULD be taxed". Confusing. Cannot be an issue of the amount because only official deductibles should count (?). But maybe this is Thailand and its different.

I think that might indeed be the most worrisome part. The issue has been discussed in thousands of posts some time ago and the main problems have not changed since then. It is not a question of wealth but rather of insurance eligibility regardless of how rich you are. You could have a billion THB in Thai banks or own a couple of houses and not be able to renew your Elite Visa because you simply have diabetes and no one will insure you which you would not need anyway because you are able to pay any health cost on your own. To allow at least a security deposit for health purposes instead of an insurance would solve this issue (if needed at all). Old non-O visa holders might be grandfathered for their extensions but as a multimillionaire newcomer you would not be able to retire here if you have some precondition. But these are the people that they would like to attract (I mean the wealthy) - or did I misunderstand something ?

Exactly the same situation I am facing, AZ-AZ, BHP, End of October 2nd shot. On the appointment slip AZ is already noted. But of course I would like a Pfizer shot - especially because I have suffered quite some strong side effects after the first AZ shot. Maybe the 2nd AZ will floor me then. Anybody tried to change the second vaccine since the policy seem to have been changed anyway ? I guess it is not possible to change just on the day they will want to administer the shot. Too complicated for them.

Very well spotted. And because I am inside the mall its only a small step for moogradod to enter any shop that is open. My experience is that the entrances to Central Festival are very well guarded - the young employee in charge at the entrance from the parking seems to get nearly a heart attack if he sees a farang approaching......but the shops inside..... ?

My Thai wife got an SMS today inviting her to call a number to get vaccinated with Sinovac and Astra Zeneca within 2 days or her chance would be gone. She is 41 years old. May we now regard this as desirous and helpful or how would the knowledgeable crowd here classify that ?

Thanks. My appointment slip for the second shot carries a big QR code, too. Maybe I scan this one and see what happens.

Thank you !! Although I have no line app and never will. Anyway my second jab is end of October. Until then I am only half vaxed anyway.

Nobody did answer my easy questions in my first post above. Is this because nobody does understand it either or they cannot believe what they think they understood ? There seems to be the tendency that this is all useless for about 90% of the population. But I am not sure if this would be true. And what the heck is this "Green Card" it is referred to ? I did not get any card when I was jabbed neither was I informed that I ever would. Had to ask them even to put a record in my yellow vaccination booklet - they just wrote "Astrazeneca". Maybe I can order my Printer Ink with Grab if I show them what I want exactly ? Only the passport photos ..... mmmmmhh

I tried to decipher the real meaning of this announcement in all its flavours but I most probably have failed. May I ask someone who has understood all the consequences to answer the following simple questions: May I, from September 2021 on, as a vaccinated foreigner with only one AZ shot, but without any "card" (green card ? - are we in the US ?) but with one entry in my international vaccination booklet: 1. Buy Printer Ink in the big electronic shop in Central Festival Pattaya? 2. Get a passport photo taken in one of the shops there and collect the printouts ? and 3. May my wife, Thai national, unvaccinated (because she was not able to get a shot yet) enter a bank branch in Central Festival to do some banking business ?

I went to Fascino and they charged me THB 1'090 for ONE PEN of Lantus (making a pack of 5 pens THB 5'450.-- and for Novorapid one pack (5 pens) THB 3'350.-- and for the test strips ACCU-Check (Blue) THB 990.-- for 50 strips. As I need lots of all this (I am heavily insulin resistent) I urgently need a cheaper solution in Pattaya. Now I have researched TV and the net, and it seems that there are much more cheaper alternatives like "humalog", vailable in BKK at a fraction of the above mentionned price. But how about Pattaya ? 1. Is there any recommended endocrinologist here ? (Pls. not Bangkok Pattaya Hospital - this is extremely expensive and they charge items that you did never request) 2. And any recommendation of long and short working insulin that might substitute the expensive import Lantus and Novorapid and is much more cheaper but works nearly as well ? I know I have to see a diabetes specialist first but I am sure a lot of members are diabetic like me and have maybe some experience and see that the insulin cost does not eat up a large fraction of the retirement budget. Thanks for any hint.
