Moderna Registration today at Chiang Mai Ram hospital

[Tracyb]

Several days ago Chiang Mai Ram hospital announced that they would accept walk ins for reservations for alternative vaccines, Moderna vaccine, beginning at 09:00 today, July 5.  They also stated they would provide telephone lines for registration, too.  Each registration method required immediate payment for vaccines with a guarantee for refunds if the hospital was unable to obtain the alternative vaccine by the end of December, 2021.

 

This morning, just after 08:00, the Chiang Mai Ram hospital announced that walk-in reservations were closed.  It turns out that traffic was lined up around the hospital and people had been waiting  in line since about 05:00 today to register.  The telephone lines have been busy and/or inoperable all morning.

 

This situation tells the story about how desperate the citizens of Chiang Mai have become to obtain Covid-19 vaccine.  In the meantime, the Thai government has been unable to meet demand and here in Chaing Mai there “seems to be” no vaccine available for anyone.

 

What a mess.

I went to Ram this morning to register

 

IT  WAS A COMPLETE SHAMBLES

 

There were hundreds of people trying to register

- No organization

- I talked to a girl who drove from Fang to register, she arrived at 0900hes - REGISTERATION CLOSED

- There were traffic jams in front of the hospital

- Now we get a number to call, however no-one will answer the phone

 

In most cases Moderna vaccine is not ordered, and reading the press the USA are quoting 1st quarter of 2022 for delivery

 

A suggestion for RAM HOSPITAL, set up a webpage so people call REGISTER THEIR  INTEREST in buying the vaccine, at least RAM will know how much vaccine they would need

Once your interest has been confirmed by RAM you pay by credit card or bank transfer

 

NO TRAFFIC JAMS

NO-ONE TRAVELING TO THE HOSPITAL TO FIND OUT REGISTRATION CLOSED

Registration is just more artificial BS because it is what this place does best. Make pointless and needless mountains out of pebbles. 

 

Both the Thai and visiting populations are indexed to death by the government here, why can't they use that data to order the vaccines?

 

Do they just collect data for datas sake, they never seem use it for anything useful, they never email us, yet lose their <deleted> at immigration if you fail to write your email on the form in the space NOT provided., they never share info across the hundreds of dozy departments, it's always up to the people to run around like headless chickens contributing to yet another uneccessary database, that can't even cope with a few hundred people.

 

How do they even keep the power on here? Beyond comprehension.

Three months ago I put my name on a list there at Chiang Mai Ram hospital I said I was number 5or 6 but they didn’t ask me for any money I wonder if my name got scratched off the list now

[brommers]

You can out your name on many lists but none will help you get vaccinated. A friend has his name on a list at a hospital and he thinks it is a booking for vaccination in October, but it is merely a list to receive an email! The truth is there is no vaccine and there will probably be no vaccine this year because Moderna can sell every dose it makes to competent governments in 50 other countries. We are doomed to live in asylum led by the prize idiots who got power at the barrel of a gun.

1) I was at Ram on July 1 to see an ENT for a sinus problem.  No mention, no signs nothing on FB or website about any possible sign ups for alternative vaccine

2) I live about 5 minutes from Ram and know nothing about this.  

3) Allegedly I put my name on some "interest" list for an alternative vaccine list last month.

4) I have been a loyal and frequent customer at this hospital for years and this complete lack of planning, organization and communication about how to register and get the Moderna Vaccine has been an unmitigated disaster

 

Ram FB has over 174 comments about this mess(all negative).

3 Hours on the bus down and 3 hours back, with nothing to show , except a shoe imprint in my butt. What's the difference between the Ram and the Government?

[canthai55]

My Mrs tried this morning at 8am at 8.03 registrations closed what a shambles they have made of everything covid

[ramrod711]

I am allegedly on a list to get a Moderna vaccine at Lanna Hospital in October. I paid with my Visa card, 2,400 baht for the vaccine and will have to pay a 500 baht service charge for each of the two jabs.

If they did not send you a message and requested payment on Friday then I fear you will not get the vaccine, I am sorry to say

  you can not blame RAM hospital entirely,  the government is who is holding the ordering of the vaccine up,  not the hospital.  RAM has excellent doctors and i have been treated well there.

[newnative]

Basically the same as what happened in Pattaya.  Total train wreck.

The fact that they give you a date means nothing. The vaccine hasn't been ordered or paid yet by the government. They internally approved the contract today. 

[worgeordie]

My wife went there 7.00 this morning, all gone , no surprise

as she was told there only had 300 doses, it's a joke really,

They will have them in October ....too little , too late

 

She was looking on Facebook , which she never does,but good

she did ,there was a post from San Sai hospital saying those 

that went to the hospital on the 3rd ,and found that they had

no AstraZeneca Vaccine , to come on the 6th they will have

some, so back to the hospital tomorrow........

At least Lanna Hospital are charging the stipulated price set by the govt. viz 3400 baht for both jabs all inclusive, which we paid a deposit on today to cover the first jab. I read somewhere else on TV that CM Ram are charging considerably more than the stipulated govt price.

You most certainly can blame Ram Hospital, and I do, when it is the case (such as it was with me) that they twice assured me in writing that they would notify me when they were ready to take payments.  They did not do as they said they would.  Yes, I blame them.  And after a number of medical treatments with them over the years, I feel I should look elsewhere for the future.

Was that Sinovac or Astrazeneca  ?, they had plenty of the Chinese

stuff but only for Thai's.

Has the government actually ordered Moderna...or are they still shuffling papers? Because from what I read a couple of days ago, Moderna orered now would not arrive until next year. Have they actually ordered it from Moderna??

[MrJ2U]

I think its the demand for Moderna or Pheizer.

 

Theres not any demand for the useless Sinovac.

then don't be surprised if you're asked to pay the extra 100 baht when you go for your jab. We received our notification to pay yesterday, and it was 1200 baht deposit for the first jab and 500 baht to be paid at the hospital for hospital/admin fees when receiving the first jab. 2nd jab will also be 1700 baht all inclusive.

...and they have some poor ones as well.

 

But, they should be held accountable for placing people on lists and then not contacting them.

This  has nothing to do with the Government

Do you think I care less?

 

You should do a bit more research before you post misinformation.....you should never start with " I read somewhere" it's a recepie  for disaster
