The concept of timed appointments just doesn't seem to exist here. My good lady has regular hospital visits but the "appointment" just says 8AM like everyone else's, get there early to avoid the queue ???? We will continue our routine of bubble isolation, minimal interaction and social distancing until the rush has died down. There might even be some of the more preferred (I won't say "better") vaccines available by then. I booked and had confirmed an appointment for 2PM 7th June. This was changed yesterday to 8AM 10th June. At 60 slots a day that's 180 have queue barged me. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spetersen Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) So the story is that priority 1. people between 18-59 and 2. people above 60 and people with underlying illness . I registered on the Mor Prom app. May 5 and got a slot June 9 in Pattaya, does anyone know if it's still valid appointments for those that manage to register before the app was changed to make it impossible to register. According to Bangkok post May 26 the booked appointments are still valid, but that was a long time ago in the flip flop environment we live in...

In Phuket, Bangkok hospital told me they had no news of any vaccine and that I couldn’t register. That was 2 weeks ago. I didn’t mind too much, the hospital I use in Udon called me to ask if I wanted to register. I said I did and they gave me an appointment date of 14th June. Now I am just waiting for them to confirm that they will actually have the vaccine. At the moment they don’t have a single dose in their hands. you could argue that the registration process was seamless. They did it all and all I did was send them a photo of my pink card. on the other hand, I am making two 1 hour 30 mins flight to get the jab, taking basically a whole day, given waiting time at airports and drives from home to airport. Not quite so seemless. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 The words earnest, and Prayuth administration are completely oxymoronic. Anything these guys say at this point means nothing. Less than zero. If they ever had any credibility, it is long gone. They are so far past the sell by date, it boggles the mind. This nation needs new leadership, and it needs it yesterday. Long live the youth. Out with the dinosaurs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASEAN NOW Golf Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 As I am a regular patient at two Pattaya hospitals, and am over 70 years old with one kidney, I should be on the vulerable list. However although my DR at one hosptial assusered me that all their patients would be treated asasp, two days ago they had not even started a list!!!!

I've just spent a while with this article (dated 29th May)https://pharmaceutical-journal.com/article/feature/everything-you-need-to-know-about-covid-19-vaccines and there is a significant difference in the figures - particularly the alarming "9%" of the AZ (last column).

I will not hold my breath waiting having seen the fustercluck of a rollout so far. Cheers There has been no fustercluck except in your own mind and in your country of origin. The rollout was scheduled to start in June...It started before in May. The headless chicken clucking hysteria originates with the same groups, often underpinned with racist contempt for Thais and Thailand..Its sad that a forum has become a platform for such people causing serious people to look elsewhere for online information and discussions about our host country 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The likelihood of this happening however is virtually zero. same same here. Yeah,but I bet it’s fruit 'wine' (trades descriptions transgression there) so the equivalent of sinovac. I will drink a glass or two of Australian Yellow tail every month or so with a Wagyu steak or New Zealand rack of lamb- at least the equivalent of AZ or Pfizer. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watthong Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Let's see, would "Thailand's earnest vaccine rollout begins massively on June 7 - foreigners not excluded..." sound somewhat better? Imaginative (sarcasm alert!) use of adjectives (today's "massive/earnest") in this vaccination headline du jour suddenly jogs my memory back to the days when my friend Diane's selection of local newspaper clippings that she used to mail from Honolulu, arrived like clockwork at end of month, just to keep me up to date... Among her/our favorites, the weekly weather forecast: Monday - sunny with some clouds Tuesday - lots of sunshine, partly cloudy Wednesday - some clouds passing, mostly sunny Thursday - few clouds but lots of sun for the most part of the day Friday - clear sunny sky but for some clouds Saturday - sunny except mild puffs of clouds in the afternoon Sunday - sunny with clouds.

couchpotato Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) Question: Many people are very negative on the Sinovac vaccine, but no one says why (except a few who obviously don't like anything Chinese). So I would like to know why the negativity (especially since it has now been approved by WHO. I haven't seen any adverse reports on Sinovac, has anyone?

Still, worth 55555 you are quite right. I normally go to Udon during the summer school holidays for a couple of weeks, but will need to go back for the second jab. It’s AZ, so I guess 4 months time for the second. Seems a long time. I also have to be able to get back into Phuket after only having had one jab. My daughter won’t have had even one. Pretty sure one or both of us will need a test, but I’ll wait till closer to the time to check.
