Vaccination of foreigners. What now?


Oxx

Recommended Posts

I live out in the sticks and so far the only activity in the province was a call for Thai-only who want the vaccine to register at the local clinic. Nothing has been heard since, and that was at least a month ago. It excluded migrant workers here of which there are many. Latest is I can register in June but have no clue where.

 

Nothing to do but be patient until they get around to us.

^ Similar situation to Saltire. I live up in Isaan. I was contacted by the local health volunteers a few weeks ago. I had all my details taken.

I have not heard from them since, but I also believe that to be the same situation for the whole village Thai or non-Thai.

 

From everything I have read it would appear that there are not enough doses to go around yet so some areas will have to be more patient than others

Registered  for the vacination two weeks ago ,appointment at samitivit hospital 9th june. 

 

Which Samitivej hospital? Sukhumwit? Sri Nakarin? One of the others?

 

And how did you register? I'm a Samitivej patient, and when I contacted them they said they weren't allowing people to register, and that they would send out an email when registration became possible.

Private vaccination remains a long way off.

 

Is that just speculation on your part, or can you provide a recent link to worry us even more?

Same here although no migrant workers either. Doctor at the local government hospital told me Friday last week that they have no idea when they will receive any vaccines nor told of priorites.

Registered yesterday at our Local Hospital (Anamai).

 

They used the number in my Yellow House Book to register and it was accepted.

 

When will I get the Jab??? No idea.

 

What they told me that it will be a village by village affair.

 

Province is Buriram

If a foreigner has an ID number (appearing on the Pink Card and on the yellow House Book (or blue book, if PR), he/she could have registered online and get an appointment for vaccination in June, in the same way as Thais did.

If you qualified (Over 60 +/or one of seven listed illnesses) and were on the target list send to Government by the hospitals.

 

Quote: Hospitals have uploaded 16 million targeted names. Those who do not find their names in the system will not be able to register.

I also registered using Mor Prom and have an appointment for 7 June at the public hospital, but I thought I read that foreigners cannot use that as it is for Thai's only.

 

Anyone have a clear understanding of the above ?

My Thai wife registered on three different sites and has two appointments. Many people will do this, so the one million probably includes many double or triple registrations and I don't know if they will correct for that. She will go to the first appointment and take me to the second, let's see what happens....

This appears to be what will happen due to vaccines not being available. The wife has been asked to re-register 3 times so far, but was told my registration was okay.

The more people that get vaccinated the more it protects us from getting exposure even if we aren't first in line.

You might want to reconsider that common but quite possibly incorrect assumption.
