COVID Vaccination Experiences - please post here

[Sheryl]

As there is considerable confusion over where and how foreigners can be vaccinated, and things seem to differ by location, please post your experience here.

Only post if you went to a vaccination site seeking to be vaccinated.

Not posts debating vaccines , discussing politics etc - this thread is purely to compile on-the-ground info on actual vaccination availability.

 

I will periodically summarize the results by province. Hopefully this will help others.

 

Please post the following details:

 

Province: 

Date: 

Location (name of hospital or other) 

Are you over 60/chronically ill? (Yes/No) 

How did you register? 

Vaccination received (yes/no) 

If yes,  Type of vaccine : 

If no, Reason not vaccinated:

People.

Please can we try to keep on topic for this particular thread:-

 

Only post if you went to a vaccination site seeking to be vaccinated.

 

To avoid confusion I've hidden a few perfectly good but off-topic posts (including mine).

Off-topic post reported and removed.  

 

[Sheryl]

As people have continued to post off topic I am locking the thread for now.  If anyone has actually been vaccinated PM me and I'll reopen it. Otherwise I'll unlock it next week.

[Sheryl]

Unlocked since vaccinations will start tomorrow.

 

Please  post here only your experience in going to a vaccination site. Anything else will be removed.

Province: Surin

Date: 7th June

Location (name of hospital or other) Sangkha Hospital

Are you over 60/chronically ill? (Yes/No) Yes

How did you register? Mor Prom

Vaccination received (yes/no) NO

If yes,  Type of vaccine : NONE

If no, Reason not vaccinated: Appointment 7th June moved to 10th June then delayed no future date.
I visited this hospital at 8.15AM 7th June and found the vaccine roll out in full-swing for Thais only. Some looked younger and healthier. I feel I have been removed from the queue not just put to the back of it. Could this info be in a better location? It seems buried here and hard to find.

On 7 June 2021 I had my first shot of the AstraZeneca vaccine at my local government hospital in Mahasarakham Province.

 

It was well organised. The whole process took about 2 hours and there were about 200 people. After the injection I had to wait for 30 minutes and have two blood pressure/blood oxygen tests. They then gave me a 'vaccination booklet' which also had the date of my second shot (27 September 2021).

 

My wife had not registered, but they had spare vaccine and they registered her on the day and she got the shot.

 

I did flag my penicillin allergy on the form which caused an initial delay until a doctor confirmed that it was not an issue for vaccine purposes.

 

My wife and I have hot has any side effects so far (2 hours after the shots).

I went to the Bangrak Vaccination Centre this morning.  Unless you've got Thai citizenship or permanent residency, there's absolutely no point in going. They'll just tell you to register online.  Also, you can't register unless your over 60 or have diabetes, etc. 

There were a fair amount of people there, with a handful of foreigners.

 

Google Maps shows the building in the wrong place. The actual location is here:
https://goo.gl/maps/AuEtKPbimxp5aBMg9

 

Google Maps incorrectly shows the location as being a couple of buildings down, here:
https://goo.gl/maps/4ANNU2ANcmU1h6uY9

By the time you would need to go to the center, the proper location will probably be listed on Google Maps.

Are you over 60/chronically ill? (Yes/No) No/Yes

How did you register? Mor Prom

Vaccination received (yes/no) YES

If yes,  Type of vaccine : Astra Zenecca

If no, Reason not vaccinated: -

I took a picture of my Mor Prom appt, Yellow book ( No pink card)Hospital clinic book and my hospital number from a previous visit and my passport. The doctor at the front desk said OK. Talking to another local farang it seems he was also cancelled recently by the local health dept but decided to turn up anyway as well and also got vaccinated with AZ. Painless procedure once in the system. 2nd shot 28th September. My advise would be if you have a confirmed appt, turn up. Interestingly they did us in groups of 10, but as someone had taken my spot there were 11 in our group. Good luck!

Location Big C : registration and vaccination centre operated by Prachanukroh Hospital (the provincial hospital for Chiang Rai)

How did you register? At the registration desk. Registration refused as I was "a foreigner". I was told that there were "no vaccines for foreigners"

Vaccination received (yes/no) No

If yes,  Type of vaccine : 

If no, Reason not vaccinated: I started the process of registration. Showed them my passport, visa page, and my hospital book for the Diabetic Clinic.

Province:   Prachinburi

Date:   8 June 2021

Location (name of hospital or other) Chaophaya Abhaibhubejhr Hospital (provincial hospital of Prachinburi) - my appointment was with hospital and hospital arranged the sessions but actually held in a separate government hall. Locations were announced on the hospital Facebook page.

Are you over 60/chronically ill? (Yes/No)   Yes

How did you register? Mor Prom App.  I also took the precaution of registering for a patient number at the hospital since I had never been treated there. I don't think that mattered though, everything was based on ID number.

Vaccination received (yes/no)  Yes

If yes,  Type of vaccine : Astra Zeneca

If no, Reason not vaccinated: 

 

No problems at all and very well organized. I received an SMS confirmation/reminder 2 days before hand. Needed only to show my pink ID card so they could locate me in the computer database of appointments.

 

However due to shortage of vaccines people with appointment dates from tomorrow onward have been postponed.

How did you register?  Mor Prom 2. may

Vaccination received (yes/no)  Yes

An effective set up. In a few minutes I had my blood pressure taken, were weighted, registered to see if I were in the appointment list and had a card to bring to the nice nurse who vaccinated me with AZ and then were given the card back with an appointment for october 8. for the 2. jab. Then 30 minutes rest before allowed to go.

 

I saw one other falang also get his jab, all the personnel were friendly and helpful.

Got my Free  AZ vaccine jab today at my local hospital. No appointment needed. Just walked in Show passport fill out the form, check blood pressure + weight. Waited a while, not long got the jab. Then you have to wait 30 mins to insure no reaction given drinking water or milk. After 30 min wait, called to reception and given an appointment card  with a date for the second jab. No problems didn`t take long. Very simple.

Thank you Thailand. Happy days !

Just to summarize so far -

 

Foreigners report success in being vaccinated, with no issues, in these locations:

 

Bangkok

Chiang Mai

Mahasarrakham

Nakhon PHANOM

Nonthaburi

Pattaya

Prachinburi

Sisaket

Sri Racha

Surin

 

All with AZ.

 

Reports of being turned away ("no foreigners"/"thais first") from:

 

Chiang Rai

Surat Thani

 

also one offline report of this from someone under SS in Bkk

 

Most of those vaccinated so far made appointments through Mor Prom. I think it is early yet to see much results from people who registered through other avenues.

 

There have also been reports from various parts of the country of vaccinations being cancelled (for everyone) or postponed due to lack of vaccine.

 

 

unfortunately people have been posting in multiple forums (mainly news) and only a few here, and it is impossible for us to collate data form multiple places. So this is far from complete but what it does indicate is that there are a few provinces with a "no foreigner/ Thais first" policy but in most locations foreigners have access.

Province:    Nonthaburi

Date: 10th June 2021

Location (name of hospital or other)  Central Chest Institute of Thailand

Are you over 60/chronically ill? (Yes/No) Yes   Heart/lungs not that brilliant!

How did you register? My wife did it for me on 1st May using Mor Prom App on my phone LINE App/Pink ID Card

Vaccination received (yes/no) Yes today

If yes,  Type of vaccine : AZ

If no, Reason not vaccinated: 

 

Very professional set up. I had to go on my own as my wife had AZ yesterday and is suffering with a high temperature. A nurse took me around to each station where details etc were taken.   They did ask to speak to my wife who gave them some details over the phone.

 

After the jab they give you a sticker with details of injection etc  and time injected. You are then called after 30 minutes, sticker removed, to be checked and given your 2nd dose date. Mine 30th September

 

CCIT is a hospital I use.   I did supply them on a typed sheet with my drug list, Brief History and my HN number at that hospital
