Update of COVID-19 vaccination for a foreigner at Phyathai 2 Hospital Bangkok

[watthong]

I think it is just random luck. Each "window" of registration corresponds to the batch of vaccines that is available during that window and your choice or lack thereof depends on who's got what before you signing on. The window that I happened to registered was the one started on June 7 for the 60 plus crowd, AZ ran out and only sinovac was available by the time I got on, so I had no other choice. Someone else on this forum reports that he registered during the "expatriates" window a week later, starting June 12, got AZ and amazingly his appointment was the following week. Mine was on June 22 and it went well, thanks to the dedicated staff at Phyathai2.

 

So my tip for those who want AZ is that if a window runs out of AZ then hold your horse and wait for the next one. You can not make the change when you get there. I think there was one fellow who raised some sort of rukus and they had him and his gf sit wait by the wall...maybe towards the end to see if there was any AZ jab left unused. But that was totally my own speculation.

NO, you are not supposed to take any Xtra money. There are plenty of ATM's there.????

Had my first AZ shot at PhayaThai 2 on Wednesday the 23rd.  My appointment was for the same date originally given (i.e., there was no deferment caused by the deferment of appointments 15-19 June).   

When my wife called them several days before, they said there would be a confirmation email (see the example above) the day before the appointment.  Confirmation email was actually received on Monday (two days before). 

 

The process was well enough organized and went smoothly enough.  Given the queue number I got at the time I arrived, they probably dealt with around 220-230 people that day.  The location, although indoors, was well ventilated but the large room at the center of the process had a couple of processing steps where social distancing was maybe not ideal.  Staff were great without exception:  friendly, patient, good-humored and professional.

 

And, yes, it was free.

Question:

My appointment is on 2 July but yet I have not received any email from OIC or the hospital.

Any advise on which number should I call to confirm my appointment?

Thank you~

My understanding is that the hospital only receives the next day's list of people to be vaccinated at around 6 p.m..  What worked for me was to email them the previous at their "One Stop" address.  (It's on the hospital's website's contact page.)  I got a reply around 9 a.m. on the day of the appointment.

You will receive an email today from the OIC. If not received by midday, then email the onestop (see post above). They respond quite quickly. Scan your appt doc and give name and PP#.

Good luck.

More like "might receive".  I never did receive an email from them, even after I 'phoned them and they agreed to resend it.  They told me they're having technical problems handling the volume of emails being sending out.

Read my post correctly. I covered that eventuality by advising him to email the hospital where his appt is, if the OIC email didn't arrive.

They used to get it about 11am.

That was 2 weeks ago. Don't know about today.

Changed now as a mate emailed them a few days ago on the One Stop address to check on his appointment for today and they replied confirming he was on the list.  Neither of us received an email, but we both received an SMS yesterday at 13:25 confirming the  appointments, despite me having cancelled mine and received acknowledgment of such.

For my appointment this past week, I got no email from anyone confirming, but did get an SMS message confirming from the hospital about 11:30 am the day before, to the mobile number I had given on my Intervac website registration info.

Why do you believe this to be true? There's nothing at that link that I can see that suggests this is so.

It's referred to in a recent update on the Intervac site, which is presumably now redundant.  I wouldn't expect to see anything at the link until closer to the time.

[rabas]

 

Yes, there is an announcement now on  https://thailandintervac.com/  for registration 12-16 July.

 

It appears limited to the 60+ and/or one of the seven conditions. It says Westerners under 60 will come in the 'next phase'.

 Yes, the upcoming vaccine registration process involving Phyathai II Hospital for expats age 60 and above and those with chronic medical conditions IS explained and listed on the PII website linked above. You just have to look a bit down the webpage past the big graphic image at the top of their page.
