Can you ask about 1st jab. Thx

If you are in Phuket and haven't gotten your first jab yet, here are some suggestions:

Get registered on the phuket.win site:

https://xn--12cmj6ba0a7b3g4a6fud5d2a.com/

Take the survey/register with Bangkok Phuket Hospital (Sinovac, Pfizer, and AstraZeneca):

Friends have reported that they were able to obtain 2nd AZ jabs from Patong Hospital with just their passports on a walk-in basis.  It might work for 1st jabs as well.  Worth a try.

Good luck.

I will go to the organisers tomorrow at Chalong hospital and find out what is going on.

I'll post what they say.

Okay......went to Chalong Hospital and asked what was happening at the information desk.

She called a doctor on the phone and he didn't know anything about it.

The doctor is going to call the Ministry of Health about this and then will call me back.

 

So........watch this space for further info.......

 

P.S.

 

Missus was told to call on the 5th as no one seems to know what is going on. Here is the relevant part of the SMS.

Interesting.  Thanks for investigating.  Still no change for me at phuket.win or in terms of receiving an SMS or other notification.

Highly irresponsible to send out info, when they don't know if it's actually valid.

I just texted a friend who owns the travel shop directly across the street from entrance Karon Orchid Vaccinations, I sent a screenshot of these alleged vaccine date changes to her,  she will look into it as well and get back to me....

Many thanks. The more people asking about this, the better.

[KarenBravo]

Surprise, surprise. No communication from the doctor that was promised.

Will go back again tomorrow.

There is a contact phone number on the paperwork they gave us when we received our first AZ jab back in late June.  My Thai wife plans to phone that phnoe number tomorrow and see if she can learn anything.   If she does what she says, I will report back on anything learned.

[KarenBravo]

Right. Just got back from the hospital. Here is what they said:-

The SMS received was old data and no longer valid.

 

The first line on the SMS 13-16 changed to 16-18 refers to August and this change happened.

 

The other two lines refer to September and nothing has changed. If, like me, you are scheduled for the 17th September, it is still intended to give the second shot on this date.

 

Best check well before you go as things change quickly with no notification.

The feeling of uncertainty, bloody ridiculous....... I'm scheduled Sept. 23, I may swing by on the 13th. Have not heard from the shop owner yet, thanks.......

My Thai wife phoned the noted phone number (Chalong Hospital) and was told no change for those with 2nd jab appointments on 17 to 23 September.

 

The lady she talked to at that number (Chalong hospital) recommended also checking the Chalong Hospital Facebook page as that is purportedly kept up to date. ... I just checked now ... and the Facebook page is consistent with what my wife was told. ... I note the page is all in Thai language.

This was fake news. I was at Phuket Merlin Hotel 10 mins ago and there are no walk-in vaccinations. Now I'm at Or Bor Tor and they have idea what I am talking about. There is no Thai version of this news article online anywhere to be found.

Getting pretty tired of chasing down a vaccination now....

A friend walked into Patong hospital two days ago, had all his paperwork, and successfully got his 2nd jab of AZ. His appointment was actually around 18th September at Patong.

[CANSIAM]

Called Chalong Hospital this morning, was told no date changes for the September 17 - 23 jabs, never asked about other dates.....

[oldcpu]

My appointment for AZ is still on Friday this week (17-September). No change.  I checked a few minutes ago, due to what the next sentence in this post notes:

 

My Thai wife, who received 2xSinovac earlier this year, received an SMS less than an hour ago, and here in Phuket she was offered the opportunity to get an AZ booster even earlier this week. She chose 14-September at Karon Orchid Resort for an AZ booster.

 

It does (IMHO) mean the non-refundable Moderna jabs that we bought and paid for her, may go unused by her, when the Moderna is available.  We don't mind that as we both considered (when buying the Moderna for her) that it was to be more of a donation to a local private hospital - and we weren't so 'fussed' about having to receive a Moderna jab.  This could mean the Moderna will be available for someone else, which will be good.

 

I'm curious as to what this 2xSinovacx + 1xAz will mean for my wife's international travel.  I suspect for her to fly now to Europe or to Canada, she will need sometime in the next few months, to get another AZ jab.   ( ...  or if AZ+Moderna accepted for International travel to Europe/Canada, which it is not at present, to use her paid for Moderna certificate to get a Moderna jab sometime after the AZ booster (if that is accepted for international travel)). 

 

Of course this is a 'bit off topic' as my wife is Thai and not a Foreigner.

I get my second AZ on 18 Sept. next week at Orchid.

 

My wife had the 2 sinovac some time ago at Orchid. She has yet to receive a booster notification on Line.

She could check the web site 'Phuket Must win'.  My wife's SMS told her to go to that site.  Once on that site, she was given an option of various places/dates to choose for her AZ jab.

Further to this, a few of my wife's Thai friends in Phuket, who received 2 x Sinovac jabs, did not receive the SMS, nor does the "Phuket Must Win" website indicate an AstraZeneca jab appointment possible for them.

 

My wife subsequently learned that for these Thai people, their Thai 'registration' is actually in a different province other than Phuket - so the speculation is that only the registered Thai residents of Phuket are receiving such an SMS (advising of an AZ booster to the 2xSinovac), and only the registered Phuket residents are having the "Phuket Must Win" website updated to indicate a booster jab possible at this time.

Well my wife has Phuket ID for 20 years. She did not get an SMS.  I mentioned your post and she checked up their web site. Told her as she has no 'conditions' then she is not on 3rd jab list as yet.

That's pretty much what they told the missus.

As far as I know UK only accepts vaccine certificate from UK, Europe or US...., not sure about other European countries..., and also things change..., they should really start accepting  vaccination from other countries...!

[KarenBravo]

The missus has an appointment at Karon Orchid for the 16th to receive a third jab. Only guessing at the make, but think it will probably be AZ. She went through the Phuket Must Win site. She is registered here in Phuket and has been for a long time.

[stevenl]

My wife is also going to orchid on the 16th, but for second jab AZ.

[Badrabbit]

I had my 1st Pfizer jab at Vachira recently, 2nd jab in Oct.

 My missus is registered on the Thai site with Thai name. They will notify her when she has a 3rd jab slot. Assume AZ ?

I drove my Thai wife to the Phuket Orchid Resort Spa for her AZ booster jab earlier this morning.  Her appointment was at 9am.  We arrived at 8:35am, and she was out / finished (including a 30-minute wait after the jab) by 9:35am.  I was surprised how quick.

 

She noted they were very organized, and with the paperwork mostly already online in their database, it sped up the process.  Her main complaint was she kept having to shuffle chairs to new 'zones' (when in line) not giving her enough time to spam people on social media from her mobile device.  ... lol !!

 

She noted her first two (Sinovac) jabs were in completed prior to the end of May this year, while her Thai friends (who also received 2 jabs of Sinovac, and have yet to be advised of an AZ booster) had their Sinovac jabs in June/July.  So maybe timing is also a factor here? < unsure >

 

Afterward she successfully used the MorProm app (on her Android Tablet) to get an electronic certificate of her vaccinations (ie it lists on 1-page her 2xSinovac and 1xAZ).

Any success stories of getting Pfizer if under 40 years old and with no underlying conditions?
