RTAF’s vaccination center opens tomorrow

[snoop1130]

 

BANGKOK (NNT) - The Royal Thai Air Force today made final checks before tomorrow’s opening of its northern Bangkok vaccination center, located at an air force academy,

 

The Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) is ready to open its vaccination center at Navaminda Kasatriyadhiraj Royal Air Force Academy in Sai Mai district of Bangkok tomorrow.

 

Commanding the RTAF’s security emergency response center, the Royal Thai Air Force Commander in Chief ACM Airbull Suttiwan, today made a final inspection of the vaccination center, where he met with health workers and staff who will serve members of the public getting their COVID-19 jabs at the venue.

 

The RTAF has ordered its Directorate of Civil Affairs and Disaster Relief Center to set up this vaccination center for Bangkok residents and RTAF personnel.

 

Once at the venue, vaccine recipients will need first to register at reception to get their queue number. They will then have their weight and blood pressure measured, pass through symptoms screening, sign and submit their consent form, enter the waiting area, before getting their jabs.

 

Afterwards, they will need to wait in another area for observation. Before leaving, they have to sign up on Moh Prompt system for side effects monitoring and to receive vaccination record certification, and receive their second dose appointment.

 

At the final inspection today, RTAF personnel traveling abroad received their COVID-19 vaccine shots as part of the center’s trial run, which tested the efficiency of each service station, as well as the data link between the venue and the RTAF’s Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital via broadband connection.

 

Once opened, the RTAF’s vaccination center at Navaminda Kasatriyadhiraj Royal Air Force Academy can vaccinate as many as 1,000 people per day, with transmission prevention measures implemented to ensure safety. Vaccines are provided at no cost to the recipients.

Airbull? Is that seriously his real name or does he have Redbull sponsorship to give him wings?

as far as possible from them. If anybody it's going to do any imaginable c.ockup, it's them.

Let army to play with their toys, and medics to do vax

..."and submit their consent form..."

I mentioned awhile back that those getting Covid shots actually have to sign a consent form as none of the shots are either approved or licensed for any purpose but "emergency use only."  A number of passionate members essentially said I was wrong (not the words they used) and yet - here again it states that to get a shot a patient must sign a consent.

I've found a number of examples of consent forms.  Essentially they provide tick boxes stating you have been informed of the benefits/dangers of the vaccine (informed consent) and one tick box that states "I consent to receiving the 1st and 2nd dose of the COVID-19 vaccine."

So - this will be interesting in a place such as Buriram province where on the one hand you are required to get a shot under penalty of imprisonment, and on the other hand if you didn't want the shot you'd be forced to sign a consent form under duress. 
Legally that's a slippery slope and one worth keeping an eye on.

prisoners first, army second.... just admire patience of the Thai people

getting yourself in jail could be faster rout to get a jab

1,000 per day?

 

Assuming there are vaccine supplies, it will take them ~ 45 days just to administer the first dose to all RTAF personnel. Then they can start on the second dose.

I got my first shot of AZ here in Australia a few weeks ago at a large public hospital, free.

 

We all had to step by step sign several documents, all very well explained.

 

One form indicated that I was getting the shot of my own free will and that I understood the written and spoken descriptions of known reactions and that I understood to call a number provided in big font on the paper with my next appointment, for the second shot in early July. The head nurse explained that if there is a reaction (other then a sore arm etc.), the hospital would send an ambulance with trained paramedics to my lodging.

 

Another form was quite a list of diseases/medical situations/known allergies/previous reactions (if any) to vaccines. For each one had to tick a YES or NO box, then sign the form at the bottom.  

 

Different points:

 

- The hospital has since advised that at second shot date they will make a booking for the third/booster shot (encouraged but not mandatory). Must be at least 10 weeks after second shot.  First 2 shots AZ, third shot can be AZ or Pfizer, personal choice. 

 

- An hour after first shot the inoculation was showing on my personal vaccines page in my Australian Medicare on line personal record.

It's the Air Force, and they have medics.   What makes you think that the floosies inoculating people at the moment aren't just as capable of "any imaginable (unimaginable) cockup"?

That base is not vaccinating the entire Thai air force

So you're saying what exactly? That the RTAF is setting up vaccinations centers elsewhere? I guess that's possible, but it's not mentioned in the article. If you have more detail please share. This is (area in/around DMK), more or less, the hub of the RTAF, so makes sense to centralize vaccinations and rotate personnel in as needed?

"its vaccination center", not "a vaccination center".

Standard air force style camo/work wear, as far as I can determine. Don't have to worry about getting them dirty while doing maintenance-style work.

What I was saying, exactly, was what I posted.  This base has not been reported to be vaccinating the entire Thai air force as you seemed to think.
