Me too,  missed it...I try to read all the vaccine news  and I never heard about this before...Being that in the USA,  they are Begging people to get the free 'jab'  you might think they would offer  this vaccine service on a on-going basis, as long as people are still coming to apply for it.

I wonder how many doses were made available.  I’m well under the age group and not included in the at risk groups so I’m OK with people who need it getting it before me.  But the question is, how many over 60s or people with pre-existing conditions are currently being turned away?

Come to Pattaya! 

Why such short notice huh? as if they didn't planned it or knew it's going to happen? at least the Aussies gave 24 hours notice yesterday and many were able to register...

For those who missed this, make sure you are registered with the Embassy and you will get these notifications by email

 

Pretty much every vaccination opportunity, whatever the route, fills up within a very, very shrt tiem since demand so greatly exceeds supply

 

Hopefully the Embassy will do this again

What did the embassy actually do?

Just curious because it seems the Thai government notified the US embassy that they were providing and  making the jabs available.  The embassy in turn just put out a notice regarding this.

Correct or not?

I just received a confirmation from MedPark. "Your free government allocated vaccine has been confirmed." Wed. August 11th. This is good to know. I wonder which vaccine they will be administering.

i have read a few threads on med park, and it seems they don't know or are not telling which jab they will use, 

I registered yesterday. Also registered with MedPark just in case.

Takes me about an hour to get to the site where their giving jabs.

Sure as heck hope it's not a trip for nothing.

Why not call and ask? 

So disappointed in the embassy. Whatba pathetic, marginal half attempt. Something id expect from Biden administration. Save the vaccines give them to Dem voters as they illegally flood across us borders.

 

Never had faith in Bangkok embassy but I've completely written it off now. First, no help and now the filmsy vanier of a charade of assistance. Arrogant staff, poor decisions, shi++y administration. Broken nation. Typical in these woke times.

 

Then demanding taxes from those overseas. Its criminal.

They negotiated a set aside of vaccination slots for US citizens with the Thai Givt

Rule Britannia etc!

Anyway this vaccine lottery,which is what it is, becomes more farcical day by day!

They were gone about 30 minutes after sending the emails.

The Embassy didn't do anything other than post the message - as they clearly stated - this was just an announcement of a Thai offer that arrived via email at 0827 - 30 minutes prior to it being irrelevant so hopefully some were able to take advantage.  

 

Indeed do register with Embassy and everywhere else that allows and be ready to act quickly.

In this case, the supposed registration opportunity for American expats here was CLOSED almost before the Embassy's email started hitting people's inboxes early yesterday morning.

 

It was one of several such "opportunities" the Thai government arranged with different countries' embassies, in all likelihood, mainly a Pr move aimed at taking some of the heat off for the country's sorrowful vaccination program.

 

Either that and/or, the number of available vaccination doses offered through the U.S. Embassy's offer yesterday must have been pitifully small.
