You are reading way too much into simple comments & over reacting based on intentions that don't exist in this posters mind. I can't read intentions in posts. I can read tone. Fair enough what you say about your intention. Enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I strongly suspect they overbook anyway, expecting a percentage of no shows. i send an email as a reply to the confirmation email, which changed to hello@medparc, nothing back at the moment, i sent it yesterday morning, editi have now forwarded it to [email protected] edit edit received a reply from inquiry@ med, within minutes of sending cancellation.

fredscats Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 4 hours ago, Jingthing said: Here's another fun question. As there is 12 week gap for Astra Zenica, I wonder if there will be a way to "transfer" the first Bangkok hospital jab to a Pattaya hospital (assuming perhaps over optimistically that at least high risk with passport expats will have access to AZ jabs here by then). We won't want three AZ jabs! I doubt Moderna or Pfizer will be here by then, but then you get into the mixing controversy. I also don't think you want AZ and then TWO Modernas or Pfizers, so the same question of being able to transfer. The point I'm making is about getting the documentation that you've been fully vaccinated. You could lie to them and say you didn't get the first one, take the second one here as the first, and no show for the second here, but then definitely no document. Nobody knows the answer to this yet of course. Why not go for three? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cancellations might open a slot or two for others, For reference, mine's Aug 17, 11 am. You get a paper that states Thailand Vaccine Certificate with a QR code etc. and all the dates of your shots. If you want yellow vaccination booklet its advised to bring it along if you have one already and they will enter the shots there too. They did for me as I already had one from a prior yellow fever vaccination... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 3 hours ago, WaveHunter said: Ya know, I wouldn't cancel the appointment at MedPark just yet even though I got my first jab, and I'll tell you why. If the CCSA doesn't change the 12 week waiting period for the second jab, I might consider getting the ParkMed dose as a "second" dose, whether or not they'd be willing to document me as being fully vaccinated. I have a feeling they would be willing to do that but I'm not sure right now. It's just too early to tell what options will be by August. Pfizer may actually be available to us locally next month. I'd rather have MedPark as a backup to a speedier second dose if no better options are available by my appointment date, rather than be forced to wait until mid October for the second dose, and then another two weeks for it to fully kick in making it November to finally be fully protected. I think that even if I wait until the last minute to cancel MedPark, that cancelled dose will go to some worthy recipient, and won't be simply tossed in the trash. I'm assuming, maybe naively, that your passport number will be registered in a national database and they will see that should you rock up at Medpark for another vaccination a couple of weeks later. Still, I won't be cancelling my MedPark vaccination until I've received my Phyatai vaccine just in case something goes wrong on the way there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, what do you reckon is the best way to CANCEL a vaccine booking at Medpark? Good question. I need to cancel at MedPark too. The cancellations might open a slot or two for others, For reference, mine's Aug 17, 11 am. Because there have been so many failed systems etc before reporting on this forum that the MedPark booking system was working I made a ‘test booking’.... that way I knew the information I was posting was accurate and useful. As soon as I had the booking confirmed I replied to the confirmation e-mail to cancel - there was no response. I don’t like leaving the ’slot’ open, but its a 1 hour slot, people turn up hours early and many people also chance their luck with walk-ins, the vaccine wont go to waste but the booking slot may. Thats just unfortunate - I’ve done what I can to cancel the booking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hammer2021 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Today my Pattaya hospital called me to say they had been given their government allocation and offered me a choice of AZ or SV. They have booked me in but don't know when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hammer2021 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I would like to correct some information I gave last week. I thought my Thai friend had received a jab at Pyathai hospital in Rayong. This is incorrect. They have booked and paid for a Moderna jab but expect it in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hammer2021 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 The booking system for the Medway hospital seems quite straightforward. But Could someone explain how to book for the Pyathai hospital?

Popular Post sungod Posted July 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) It's turned into a thread of queue jumpers. One month they complain they cant get a vaccine, now its registering at multiple hospitals for a second shot at their leisure to reach optimal protection, hmm....... shall i do 8 weeks or 12? Spare a thought for those who cant get a first shot, by taking it at 8 weeks as opposed to 12 is depriving others a chance of some protection earlier. Pure selfishness........its all about me.
