Gullible as I was, I registered on this website. I was offered a choice of 3 locations for a jab. A choice of vaccine too.

 

The only issue was, the 3 choices of vaccination centre are all  Bangkok hospitals, and I live in Si Saket, some 530kms away....

Apparently on Monday they will add nationwide vaccine places.

the idea of online registration is availability 24h, not just for 4h. Traffic might crush their website, slow down, cause mistakes.

Their website was not functioning for the last few days with "database is being upgraded, come back later" 

 

In the US the same thing happened early on. When appointment registration became available the website ground to a halt. This lasted several weeks until they upgraded the system and added a proper queueing mechanism.

 

It took me hours and multiple tries to make an appointment. Now of course it's trivial to get vaccinated, even WalMart offers walk-in vaccinations, but at the time it was difficult.

What year actually? ????

In Europe some countries totally stopped vaccination plan because too many suffering of symptoms and death was resulting and THAIland just keep pushing it with full gas. It’s unbelievable how much they always delaying in any kind of understanding 

 

And these countries are...?

 

Pushing with full gas...? 8.45 doses per 100 people. Gibraltar, 230 doses per 100 people, UK, 102.74 doses per 100 people, US, 91.4 doses per 100 people, Cambodia, 30.67, Bhutan, 62.56...

I finally managed to complete my registration after days of trying. However, when I got to the booking appointment page, no appointments where available, anywhere of the hospital options listed, and no time slot was available, not this year anyway.  And Chon Buri was not even on that list of venues participating.

Why I am not surprised. Organizing a <deleted>-up in a brewery springs to mind

Come on guys just kick back and wait a few weeks it will probably be running great

[AllanB]

I thought vaccines were designed to protect people at risk? Since they protect only the vaccinated, why this hard sell, surely people at risk, know when they at risk?

So you mentioned one European countries, where half the population aren't vaccinated....what about the other 43 where the vast majority aren't and never will be the way things are going?

What about expats living up country? ☹️

We are in western section of Kalasin.  Wife and I went to local public hospital on the 7th like previous news reports stated and put our names down with my passport and her Thai ID.  I think because she has diabetes they rang her in the afternoon and told her to come the next morning.  She had the Astra Zanecca.  The next day they rang her again saying I could come in for mine today as I was over 60.  Was also told I would get sinovac coz some locals dont want it so left over stock.  However when I showed up today everybody was getting AZ.

 

I was very surprised how well organised it was.  My appointment was at 13:00.  My BP, temp etc was taken and they asked a few medical questions.  Had my AZ shot at 13:13 and was told to sit for 30 minutes in case of reaction.  13:43 took my BP, temp etc and asked how I was feeling.  2 minutes later on my way home.  They managed to time their appointments perfectly with a constant, but not crowded flow of folk coming and going without bottle necks.  Everybody had masks and the seating was set for social distancing.  Return date for second shot made for 16 weeks.  As I say, surprised but actually a pleasant outing.

 

Oh and they even had a selfie option for those wanting it lol

I'm one of the ones who got through on the last version.  I'm hoping that on the new version I can change it to one nearer home.  Not expecting mind you, but hoping,

I haven't been able to get to a hospital choice because the "registration" keeps telling me it is incomplete. When I go back to edit/check details, the system has "dropped" 5 items:

1) Nationality

2) Province

3) District

4) Sub-district

5) Organisation

repeatedly. When I try and re-register it tells me I'm already registered. So I'm both registered and my registration is incomplete. Ergo, I cannot to proceed to make a booking....at any hospital in Bangkok, or choose vax, or choose date, or choose time.

The issue is the information keyed in is not being retained. I have tried Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and yesterday until it closed at 3.00 pm. In between all that time it has had tweaks, so the "faults" vary.

"ditto"

[keithcresswell]

I see that Bangkok Pattaya hospital has been removed from the list. So now solely hospitals in Bangkok "available". Hopefully this will change on the 14th.

Hopefully is the word. They haven't promised any kind of specific timelines for details like that.

Antivaxxer logic is kinda like saying you would prefer to swim across a crocodile infested river instead of taking the bridge, because you are afraid the bridge will collapse.

I spoke to Bangkok Pattaya hospital this afternoon, the Mrs has been badgering me although I had already told her that no hospitals in our area have any vaccine for foreigners, up shot from the conversation I had is this: They have no vaccine's, they do not take names & add you to a list & she seemed confused as to why they were included on the Intervac site, read into that whatever you want - Unless you know different.

 

For future reference this info was added at Appx 20.45 hrs 11/6/2021.

Frankly the way this has been going I would have been surprised if you had discovered differently.

[pixelaoffy]

And after what we were told about not possible to send vaccines to US and UK citizens in Thailand the French are getting after a meeting with that friend of foreigners Anutin 

[macgver]

Recommend that you should go with spouse or friend when you take vaccination. As well, take 1 or 2 pills of paracetamol after vaccination to reduce the fever.

They need an outside professional IT company to make these apps.  There terrible and look and work (usually not) by a bunch of drunken sailors.

Yes she maybe confused (probably not the only one), but for the last few days BPH has been deleted from the list. So it is NOT included on the Intervac site at this time.

Yeah I saw that, but according to what I read earlier the list is due to be expanded by Monday and covering more provinces, not just BKK & Chonburi, so maybe they had to remove before some downtime to add in more places, clutching at straws yes ????????????????

Anutin could make this Thai policy on Monday and the vaccine shortage would vanish. 45 years old age cut-off. Well I never. Yup, things still baffle me.

The Mrs and I were offered the shots at the local hospital without prior registration and respectfully turned them down with a smile.  (We have a great bunch of folks at the hospital!)
I'll reconsider the vaccines in 2025 when there is at least five years of research data on the efficacy and safety of the vaccines.  I don't care what the marketing from the government, media, and Big Pharma says, there are no long-term longitudinal human studies of any of the vaccines being used under "Emergency Use Authorization."

So it's nice not to be hampered with attempting to register for something like this in a country where software driven-database solutions seldom function correctly, especially those created expressly for foreigners.  Glad I'm in no hurry.  Perhaps by 2025 their online system will actually work and be available 24/7.  ????  Or not!

If you understood comparative risk you’d realise your chances of not being around in 2025 to see those results,or suffering from Long Covid are far greater than those of being harmed by the vaccine.
