Was told yesterday I could get an Astra Zen vaccine this morning.  

I arrived at 9:30 within 10 minutes had my Jab.  And then waited for 20 Minutes  for my second appointment card. Everything is recorded into the government computer. Soon as I arrived a woman started greeting herself. She was the director of Kaeng Khro Hospital here in Chiayaphum. She is around 50 years old.

I asked if my friend  could get the jab they said no. It,s only for people registered at the local hospital she explained that other people  need to have their  vaccine at their  local District. 

I am 50 years old. Again they love Canadians. So Thank my Buddha I am in the road to being free. Even with my Pink ID card and my name written in Thai they wanted my name in English since it is written in English on the Hospital records.

How many days or weeks between your first jab and the appointment for the second one?

I asked on Tuesday regarding vaccines. While I was looking for my x partners newly born niece. The nurse that is usually a bitch. Took my ID card and photo copied it... And five minutes later called me and told me I had an appointment for Astra Zen the next day.

I was the only visible  farang. 

I always knew living in a small province like Chiayaphum that I would get the vaccine much faster then living in Bkk or a bigger populated province. There were other younger healthy looking people getting vaccinated also.

My wife got her Astra vaccination on 22 Jun at Bang Sue station.  Her second shot is on 22 Sep.  So 3 months.

I got the Sinovac vaccination on 22 Jun at Phayathai 2 .  My second shot is on 20 Jul.  So 1 month.

 

 

Have thy started to mass vaccinate 50 year olds? I thought they were only doing above 60 year olds and health risks first. Next door neighbor is going next week, she's 27.

Just had the email from Health Canada Sinovac is not accepted as an approved vaccine and you would still need to Quarantine on arriving in the country. Something to think about when traveling.

Many people under 60 have had a vaccine many have recieved it through their Company  or work  place. PTT has vaccined their 6000 employees.

The OP does not look like a company appointment, the roll out appears to be a shambles from what I have seen.

Healthy people young and old can and do get COVID-19.  Millions are dying from COVID-19.

 

Im assuming you've glanced at the news at least once the last 15 months?

It's comments like that which explain why the world is so over populated. 

She might be a nice person but I'm sure your implication was that he might have considered having sex with her, and no matter how pleasant a person she might be, why on earth would anyone choose to see her naked (let alone choose to have sex with her!).  

I had the AZ vaccination this week at my registered social security hospital (I am retired but still in the system). 2nd shot is in 12 weeks, although I see the government has announced the 2nd shot should now be set at 8 weeks for AZ.

Disagree, in my province it's still very much 'Thai Only'. I have been unable to register on any app or website, have visited the local clinic and hospital twice to be told sorry Thai FIrst, so I think the smaller provinces will suffer a while yet as all resource and available vaccines will continue to go to BKK and surrounding clusters.

 

Also I am 66 and have 3 of the big 7 but Thailand obviously does not care. I have not been able to register so they are unaware of my situation due to their blatant bias, despite what they say in public.

 

I'd put your success down to luck.

 

I think it has nothing to do if you life in a small or big province!
It's more like luck or win the vaccine lottery. I am one of to the lucky ones, but I understand everyone who complains about.
But it's not against foreigners, as even many Thais not have a chance to become the vaccine.

 

Of course I am happy that I have my vaccine already, but there are others who in reality should have their appointment before me...

She's 50, I doubt if she'll be contributing to the world's population again.

You maybe have be looking in the wrong place, myself and several expat friends have received our first AstraZeneca shot from the local hospital.

Very orderly and professional not a shambles in site.

Not disagreeing because too many of you have had similar experiences and it is very wrong and unfortunate for men like you, at your age, with pre existing conditions. I hope you get your jab soonest.

 

But, I did not to suffer any of that " Thais first " in the upcountry province of Kalasin.

 

They had their share of the vaccine and locals up here have been slow on the uptake with old wives tales and superstitions lingering.

 

I did have a small running battle to get registered, but once agreed I should be in the ' hallowed ' computer and it swung into action, fast, efficient, kind and friendly.

 

I did say, in slight contrast to another poster, that the pink ID card was very useful in MY case.

The Thai first is actually a quote from the health workers so that is what they have been told to say. I would add that in my cluster of small villages I have heard of no one getting a jab, and I am not the only one getting this treatment. 75% of the village is Laos and Myanmar migrants, who are also not being allowed to register till Thai are done. The poo yai was refused at the main amphur for no supply.

 

I agree though there is still a very big faction of people who do not want any of the current 2 choices. It was also claimed by the governor that very few actually wanted the jab so only a few thousand were in the intial order, and unbelivably, only enough for 10 people in the second delivery - 1 vial.

 

Total fiasco, just as well I am a patient person, so far.
