  I got an appointment for the second shot on November 29.   

That date sounds like it could be a mistake… or they are experimenting with you… expected date would have been around 30 Sept… maybe worth checking

Could you have a side effect called 'Wrongdateitis'? Or is the potential mistake on their end? 24 1/2 weeks?

What date exactly? Many members seem to be suffering side effect (?) and getting confused with the dates. The default at the moment is 16 weeks not 12 weeks. Can you confirm your appt for 2nd dose is indeed in 12 weeks? Thanks.

Efficient process. As far as I could see, I was the only foreigner. I was clearly an oddity because I could hear one of the nurses asking another whether it was OK for a farang to get the vaccine. I was treated with courtesy and consideration

How did you register? Tried many times

Vaccination received (yes/no) No

If yes,  Type of vaccine : 

If no, Reason not vaccinated: Not registered

 

I have been unable to register using any medium for months. Could not get Mor Prom to work. Have visited the local clinic and the above hospital before and everytime, including yesterday, no foreigners yet. Tried the small local clinic on the way home and a junior doctor took all my details from my passport. Also asked for my driving licence which I thought was a bit strange. I was told the vaccination centre for me will be in Sangkhla Buri town but no dates known. So I think I am at least regitered ............. or am I ????

 

Incidentally the vaccine station room in the Thong Pha Phum hospital had around 6 staff sitting around, with zero customers around 10.00 AM. I read reports that Kanchanaburi have no vaccine yet.

 

This post is an excellent initiative.

Province:  Bangkok

Date:  12 June

Location Siriraj Piyamaharajkarun Hospital (SiPH)

Are you over 60/chronically ill? Over 60

How did you register? via employer (BTS) - all staff have now received / been offered jabs (locals got Sinovac a couple of weeks back)

Vaccination received    Yes

If yes,  Type of vaccine : Az

 

All very well organised, not sure if the booking via my employer (BTS) actually sped things along but I arrived at 07.30 (for 8.00 - 16.00 "appointment") and was in the taxi on the way home at 9.10.

 

There were three of us from BTS, I suspect the only foreigners that day. Note that possession of a pink ID was a requirement to get the free jab.

 

Minor bump in the road, the appointment card had no indication exactly where vax was taking place. Siriraj Hospital is a massive complex, taxi driver spent several minutes discussing with the security chaps at the main building before we vanished down a back alley by the medical library. He got a good tip!

 

Second little hump was being presented with a form in Thai. Staff were most helpful in translating the form, no real issue it was just the regular "are you alive, do you have allergies etc." form.

Province: Chonburi

Date: 7th June

Location  Bang Saen Hospital 

Are you over 60?  Yes 

How did you register?  I did not register, the hospital registered me on Mor Phrom

Vaccination received -yes 

If yes,  Type of vaccine : Astrazeneca

If no, Reason not vaccinated: N/A

 

Appointment for 9am, arrived 8.30 and everything well under way. 3 different check in desks which caused a bit of confusion but no queue for Mor Phrom and went straight through to ID check. After screening got queue number for vaccination, I was 254 and they were on 91 so had to wait about 45 minutes. Out by 10,30.

Well organised with plenty of staff on hand. They had taken over 5th floor of the hospital but had pulled staff from other areas, I recognised nurses from Internal medicine on 2nd Floor.

Yes that was a bit of a pain in the screening process. I had declared medication on the form so had to get the form signed off by the doctor before they would put me in the queue.

There was a gaggle of people around the doctor's desk just firing questions at her. When she saw the form in my hand she called me forward but I couldn't hear a word she said, just nodded and she signed the form.

Bit of a waste of time really, would have been better not to have said anything.

Your post concerned registration. You were not registered and did nto have an appointment.

 

The thread is for people with registered appointments.

 

If you are able to travel to Bangkok for the vaccination, you can register online here https://thailandintervac.com/

It takers many tries and perserverance.

Kanchanaburi does nto seem to have an online registration system.

I thought I had little chance after a doubtful response on the ph Friday when was told no vaccine ring again Mon. Went early, masses of people milling about and lining up. But at the vax place almost empty! I was amazed nobody waiting and a handful sitting after. In and out in 45min. Hospital very well organised with lovely staff. Whilst the online registration has been very bad and the supply questionable, the hospitals are excellent. I was impressed with the service.

Are you over 60/Chronically ill?  Yes/No

How did you register:  Mor prom app, pink card

Vaccination received:  Yes

Type of vaccine: Sinovac

 

Some backstory.  I had originally registered in early May for AZ vaccination on the 16th.  Got a call yesterday from Pattaya City Hospital around 2pm telling me there was no AZ but I could get Sinovac tomorrow (Monday) at 11am instead.  I agreed and I had my Sinovac shot this morning.  Arrived a little before 10am expecting a large crowd and a long wait but the process was very organized and went swiftly. I presented my pink card, they found my appointment on their computer, I filled out and signed a 1 page form, they took my blood pressure, and I was getting my shot around 10am--no waiting at all.  After a half hour to check for side effects, I was done.  Could not have been any easier.  With the shortage of AZ, I think other hospitals will be doing the same thing--offering Sinovac as an alternative for those who want to keep their appointments and not wait for AZ.

Thanks I have entered my details there now but still only have the BKK hospital options. I will wait rather than travel to a hot spot for now.

 

The new version with /expatriates on the end of the URL you gave me is under development today but hopefully this is the one where Provincial hospitals will be added eventually

Are you over 60/chronically ill? (Yes/No)    OVER 60 (66) 

How did you register?    MOR PHROM (after many, many tries over multiple days)

Vaccination received (yes/no)   YES

If yes,  Type of vaccine :  ASTRA ZENECA

If no, Reason not vaccinated: 

 

Contrary to the naysayers, the Pink Card proved useful again.

 

Compliments to the medical professionals and the public servants - who unlike the Government -  were very well organised - clearly competent and efficient.  Arrived at 8am for my appointment at 9am (got jabbed at 9am after BP and temperature check, and very brief health questionnaire).  On the way home at 9.30 after the 30 minute pause.

 

The 2nd jab is due on 5/10/2021 - 16 weeks away (hopefully other earlier options will be available well before then)

 

Well done Rayong Province!

Was not really expecting any jabs, thanks A nut in. None for the locals as well.

They registered me manually at the injection centre and said they would call when jabs are up and running.
