Hands up who wants the Chinese one?

I would guess the sooner you register, the more likely you are to get the Chinese one.

 

I also think no one will be given a choice till much later in the year. It's a bit of a dilemma for over 60s (me) as they seem to now say its ok for the older age group.

 

I think I will play the long game and sit tight for now to see how it flip flops develops.

 

I can imagine large crowds on the 7th too, not a great idea.

It's irrelevant now but it is mentioned in the video if you listen to it.

[clivebaxter]

Registered already but out of curiosity rang two local hospitals this afternoon, one government one private both still say have no policy yet from government re foreigners for vaccine. So it looks like the latest PR BS from a clueless administration who could not organize a good time in a brothel!

Although I'm already registered using my Pink ID card and scheduled for a jab in late June I'm still going to ask my private hospital here in Bangkok who has my medical records about scheduling a jab.  I just want to see what answer I get.

 

I'm expecting the same response I got a few weeks ago when I first asked which was basically a Deer in the Headlights type response....but you can fill out this LINE form and someone will get back with you said the Deer.

Both?

All hospitals?

Have the hospitals been informed?

Note the requirement if using  passport that the hospital have your medical records.

What if they don't?

There is a video in the OP that covers everything, but...

Hospital were you are already registered (for medical treatment).

Designated vaccination centres if you're not registered in a hospital.

Yes, hospitals have been informed.

 

Or, you could just watch the video.

I registered two weeks ago on the Thai site and got jab date of 15th June.  I was told by the Registration Centre that they want everyone jabbed at their own local State Hospital which makes sense.  Wife has already checked local Hospital to see if we are on the list and we are both in for 9am on 15th June....so here we go !

“Foreigners will need to register on site at vaccination centres or at  a hospital, Mr Natapanu said.”

 

I emailed a prominent private hospital in Chiang Mai(I will not name the hospital but “the Los Angeles Rams are going to the Super Bowl”) about Covid 19 Vaccine?

 

The reply I got was to use the “MOR PROMPT app?????? 

 

I think everything will go smoothly?????

But I was waiting for the May 24th rollout of the English Vaccine Registration Website?  Also, if one is registered this does not guarantee one will actually get vaccinated.  How many doses of the vaccine(s) will be needed to vaccinate all eligible Thai Nationals and all foreigners as well?  70, 80 90 or 100 Million?  Of course this presumes two does per person.  

"But I was waiting for the May 24th rollout of the English Vaccine Registration Website" 

No need to wait now, why worry about it?

 

"Also, if one is registered this does not guarantee one will actually get vaccinated". 

Says who and why?

 

"How many doses of the vaccine(s) will be needed to vaccinate all eligible Thai Nationals and all foreigners".

As long as you get yours, don't worry about that.

Why bother ?   Private Hospitals are not even in the picture with Vaccinations yet !

Could be months.

That is all explained very clearly in the video.

 

Register at your hospital or, if you don't have one, register at one of the first two of the designated vaccination centres clearly described.

I have learned not to take everything that is said in the announcements du jour at face value.

Saying stuff is one thing. What actually happens is another.

For all those foreigners who have already registered - either as a walk-in or on the app,  I would think that all of us want a vaccine certificate for future travel and this will require our passport number I'm sure. Just another issue to think about.

[WineOh]

What if you're not registered anywhere?

Unlike you I have learned not to take everything that is said in the announcements du jour at face value.

Saying stiff is one thing. What actually happens is another. 

too right mate.

Liverpool Lou sounds like he/she is fresh off the boat! 

[Saltire]

What happened to the setting up of specific centres for foreigners with English speaking staff to take medical info and avoid any misunderstandings? Is that gone away along with the APP?

I plan to wait until at least august because they will change the program daily until then. No point at all to listen to anything before then. 

You don't believe them now but you'll happily believe them in August?   Very logical.  What's so special about August?

I watched the English version of the CCSA live and what was said does not necessarily jive with what is written.  I guess we will know soon enough. I will check with my hospital tomorrow and see what they say.

I think his point is illogical.

 

Could be months, I suppose, but it could be days just as easily;  as you said "who knows?", so no need to disparage everything they do for the sake of it

So why bother asking the questions, then, when the only available information is that which was in the video?

[jvs]

Call me stupid but what is the difference between on 'on site and walk in'?

A case of ,same same but different?

Or could it be a bunch of grown ups playing kids games?

Given the number of foreigners in Bangkok, I am doubtful that there will be any same day jabs.

Best guess.

1.  Vimut and Bang Rak are being set up for foreigners living in Bangkok without medical records at other hospitals as they have good English ability due university connections.

2.  Private hospitals are being informed now of procedure and will start registration only on 7 June.  If you use a private hospital you should be able to register 7 June or after for appointment - they will order vaccine from government.

3.  From experiences reported today appointments may indeed be null and void for foreigners made on the Thai online system.  Best advise (today) is make registration on/after 7 June at your hospital.

Sounds like it's going to be in person registrations for foreign nationals, no mobile app registration.

But what about the foreigners here in Thailand on tourist visas? Still lots of them here, they aren’t expats or residents as such. Are tourists still including in this ? I asked billy barrow and he said “it’s not known” 

 

I've seen and heard no indication that registration for COVID vaccines is going  to be affected by one's visa/entry status. What you'll need to register is your home country passport and/or your Thai social security card if employed here.

Good question.

Do today's announcements always supercede previous ones?

 

Yes... sounds like the  app registration approach idea for foreigners has now been discarded. It's gonna be in-person, as things stand now.
