Steve&mem Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Wife got me booked in for 7th June here in Udon Thani using Pink Card. Wife was told it was for the Astra Zen Vaccine (that info she got from a friend that works for public health) but we will see. Its for over 60s and those with certain health conditions according to my wife. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I chose monthly pension so not contributing to the health care system any longer. I get an error on the first page in the line app, "please fill in correctly..." but I already have, perhaps except the laser code that blue ID cards have. Pink ID cards don't have it, there's another number but it doesn't work if I fill it in. I would assume that retired Thais can register even though they don't contribute any longer, is it age or something else? Any idea? It is open for several groups of people, 60+ just one category, you will choose the category that fits for you in one of the first screens of the app during the registration. As long as you have a pink card and match one of the categories, you can register and later choose the hospital and date of your choice. Whether you fit into a category at this time (i.e. health conditions), you have to find out for yourself. You have two numbers on your pink card, the first one on front top (ID in 5 groups of digits, enter without the spaces) and the second a string in the white strip on the back in the lower left, mine having 3 blocks, the first block a uppercase character. Again, enter the full string without spaces. It is open for anybody who have an ID in the Thai person register (which is your ID on the card), no matter whether you ever paid into SS or not (I never did, but many Thai citizens working in the informal sector also never did). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chinese vaccine is currently used for health care workers and for the Phuket bubble (thank you very much, if you live there) and in the latest press conference they indicated, that they start the vaccination in June, because then the local AZ will be available. The government did not procure any amount of the Chinese stuff that would support the second vaccination campaign starting on June 7. But why not sign up for a date, lets say towards the End of June? Lot of expats will have reported by then, which vaccine they got and whether they survived it and if so, with which side effects... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The app requests a number on the back starting with 2 letters, which the Thai ID card has. The pink card I have seen has a number starting with only 1 letter, so is not accepted by the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it sounds like you're quoting a press release from Siam Bioscience / AZ! There have been some reported problems with the AZ vaccine, especially for "younger women". Richard Barrow has certainly been reporting that there will be no choice, and that Sinovac is still a possibility. I think I will wait until we can choose (and pay for) the vaccine we prefer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) Being convinced and if they come with Sinovac I hide at the bathroom ???? BUT: Multiple attempts by me fail. Multiple attempts by daughter fail. The brilliant SW just says to enter correct data. Of course it does not say what is wrong. (they seem to have learned that from 90 day report ????) My suspicion, daughters suspicion: the number on the back of the pink card does by no means match the example: JT9999999999 Two letters followed by 10 digits. Mine is one digit, space, six digits, space, one digit like: X 123456 7 (too old?) What format do you see? Edited May 2, 2021 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abrahamzvi Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Does every pink ID card contain an ID number? This is required to even enter the registration. However, for eligible people who do not know how to, or unable to use the online registration, there is a possibility to register at government hospitals. As from yesterday the systems work really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What were their chances? Their chances of suffering reduced or no symptoms are better after taking the vaccine than had they not. Any of the vaccines do no prevent people from being exposed to SARS-CoV-2 - the virus can still enter the body, the virus can still be transmitted. What the vaccine does do in most cases (depending on efficacy of the vaccine) is limit the extent of symptoms of Covid-19. Covid-19 RT PCT tests will still return a positive for SARS-CoV-2 if a vaccinated person has been exposed and is carrying the virus. With no or less symptoms an exposed person will be contagious for a shorter period of time with a lower viral load reducing the impact of potential transmission with those that person comes in contact with. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawpal Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Just for the record, I tried to register just now with my Pink ID card and was also stymied by the letter/numbers on the back of the ID (one letter followed by 8 numbers) not matching the "required" format of two letters followed by 10 numbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not quite correct. "Efficacy" , a term that gets abused with monotonous regularity, is reduction in disease incidence between have and have not groups. Effectiveness against hospitalisation, severe symptoms or death are different figures entirely, and people are quoting what suits the agenda.

Have been unable to get past the Registration page on the app. I have double checked all the other fields, and keep getting the "details not correct" response. I am now convinced the problem is related to the inputting of the number on the back of the ID card. I have tried all permutations, but none of them are accepted.
