Chosenfew Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Good for you Australia. All of the best vaccines developed in the USA spending trillions on all aspects of the pandemic relief, but cannot afford to quickly inoculate American citizens world wide… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm. Makes me wonder if all these countries are drawing the vaccination of their nationals out of the same pot on a first come, first serve basis. In other words, no separate allotments for Canadians, Irish, Australians, or Americans. And as the US was the last country to notify its citizens this morning, that would mean they had virtually no chance of getting any vaccine. If this is the case. So much lack of clarity and operational transparency here makes me suspicious. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post berrec Posted July 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 17, 2021 Firstly, good initiative but could it have not been organized with a more incremental program. There seems to be the bums rush to pack in as many recipients in as possible until the vaccine runs out. Why not do it in lot allocations of small groups at a time, set aside the vaccine doses and pre-allocate them. That would limit large gatherings, an orderly application of the vaccine and validate who is in and who is out from the pre-registration and current registration scramble process. Seems a little of a shotgun operation from my view point! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you back up your statement about tomorrow's vaccines with a link for us all.Thanks! No problem, this is copied directly from the Email: Location: Bangkok, Thailand Event: COVID-19 Vaccine Opportunity for U.S. Citizens - July 17, 2021 The Thai Government has informed the U.S. Embassy that it is offering U.S. citizens in Thailand the opportunity to be vaccinated with the AstraZeneca vaccine at 4 p.m. this Sunday July 18, 2021 at SCG Headquarters in Bang Sue area of Bangkok. (See location map here: https://goo.gl/maps/dFRM8oycooZTtQJW8). IMPORTANT: Doses are limited. Those who are successful obtaining an appointment will be contacted. If you do not receive a return email verifying your appointment, assume all appointments have been filled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canadians, from an earlier post in this topic, were informed by their embassy last night that they were being offered the vaccine. So when did the US embassy learn of this and why were Americans the last group of people to be notified this morning? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is this Astra Zenecca vaccine coming from? is it Thailand (Siam Biosciences- not approved for use in EU vaccine passports as yet.) or part of the Japanese donation of their unwanted vaccines (original manufacture -I don't know)? Where is the Pfizer donation? Is this AZ vaccine a replacement because the Pfizer doses have been hijaked? How many vaccines are being offered in total? A lot of smoke and mirrors in play here.

Well, then, in that case, I'll address this to @pmarlin as well: Did the US embassy notify people in Thailand last night of this vaccination offer? This is an important question. If some US citizens were given a 13 hour advantage in registration because they are on some special list, then people at the embassy need to be fired right now. I'm enrolled in the US embassy STEP program and expect to have the same opportunities as every other American. There should be no special early warning for people on a select list.

RemyDog Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 2 hours ago, Aussieroaming said: The registration states Australian Citizen and the enrolment for the vaccine requires an Australian Passport Number. I have been an Australian Permanent Resident for close on 50 years (immigrated in 1972 under the £10 pom scheme with my parents) and thereafter educated to Uni level and then worked and paid my taxes in Australia since that time until I moved to Thailand in 2013. I was just a bit suprised that permanent residents had been ignored. As a matter of interest, you lived most of your life in Australia and seem to regard Australia as your home base, what made you decide against becoming an Australian citizen and having the full benefits of citizenship?
