BANGKOK (NNT) - The Ministry of Public Health will launch "Mor Prom" phone app that lets people book their Covid-19 vaccines next month.

 

Ministry Permanent Secretary Dr Kiattiphum Wongrajit has asked all Thai people to download the application for their Covid-19 vaccination in order to create herd immunity to prevent another outbreak and revive the country’s economy.

 

The app, expected to launch on May 1, allows users to book their free jabs at designated state hospitals and public health stations, from June. It also includes a feature that enables post-vaccination monitoring to check for side effects.

 

According to Dr Kiattiphum, each hospital in the government’s scheme is expected to administer 500 doses per day, or 10 million doses per month. The Public Health Ministry will also be setting up mobile vaccine units to reach people in remote areas.

I downloaded this app about 3 weeks ago. You need a Thai ID card to register. Non news.

Does that actually mean expats with an ID will be able to get the vaccine though?

Not sure how an expat can get a Thai ID card.

We've been notified by the head of our district that we're in line for July.  Not sure which jab, but we're on the list.

This is a comprehensive list of hospitals in Thailand.As of 2010, 1,002 public hospitals and 316 private hospitals are registered with the Ministry of Public Health's Medical Registration Division. The list is sorted with Bangkok at the top, and then in the alphabetical order of the Provinces.

We were contacted by a local official.  We've known her for years and has helped out our village big time.  Great lady.  I'm farang, wifey is Thai.  We're both now on the list.  Whatever that means! LOL

 

Pretty sure it's the Chinese jab, which we'll avoid.  Holding out for the J&J if possible.
