Quite surprised to receive this appointment for the end of July, one week after registering.  No indication of which vaccine it will be, or how much!  But it's progress.

What vaccine?  I'm guessing either AZ or Sinovac?

Good question, and one I will ask nearer the time!  Also, no indication of the cost.

We just got signed up by government officials in our area.  No indication of the timing, though June was suggested.  And no indication of what kind of jab. 

Rang the number you provided. Didn't ring out. Checked their website. Rang them on 020668888:

 

"Registrations for Covid 19 vaccinations are now closed"

The name from the emailer - Aiza Apostol doesn't seem to be a Thai name. I received 2 reply emails from Bumrungrad regarding giving your contact details when I contacted Bumrungrad for future covid vaccinations one was from Christian, another from L. Nicolas. Just wondering if this is bogus registering ? 

email I got from them re vaccines had the names Leigh, Karen Racho  and another was Jason Lipo. I think they have a number of different people on staff.

 

Emails I got gave the same number. 02 011 5146

 Tried that number again. It does not ring through. Just sharp beeps, (as though disconnected).

How are you registering?  I have been a Bumrungrad patient for years, but I have not gotten any email from them about registering and their website still says nothing.

 Same here. I never received any email. When I called the main number and pressed x for covid registration, it stated that this was now closed. So I presume they have many applicants, but no vaccine.

Noticed this COVID-19 vaccine queueing station in the B-Lobby this morning. This is not for staff, think they've all been vaccinated already. There were ~ 10 people queued at 07:45.

 

 

It seems these hospitals expect to have vaccines available 2 months earlier than they previously guesstimated. Samitivej are offering similar now - you can sign up at customer service, although they wanted a social security card or work permit. Is that the case at Bumrungrad? No appointments given but it may just be that Samitivej are a bit more conservative and careful than Bumrungrad, which has been my experience. Samitivej also probably has a much lower capacity for doing mass vaccinations safely though due to space restrictions and the building layout - unless they can use the Japanese wing across the street.

 

Still my longshot option of the three, but it's kind of relaxing* to suddenly be signed up through three schemes (my work has one too now, after a false start - which I now see was because our partner hospital was being persuaded by the government to host the wider foreigner rollout)  after having nothing and no real prospects only two weeks ago. 

 

* I choose to ignore for now the knowledge that all vaccines are coming through the same source and there appears to be great uncertainty about supplies through that source - the AA serenity prayer needs to be applied here I think.

None of these sources have any vaccine and I am pretty sure it is all guesswork as to when they will have and when and how the government will deal them into the vaccination game. It is still 'promising' that they appear more hopeful of getting into the game earlier though and worth a punt if you want best early chance of a high-priced mRNA vaccine. Just my own guesswork!
