Sheryl Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 From US Embassy: 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. To register please click on this link:https://bit.ly/USTHvax2021 To get an appointment, you MUST: 1) pre-register through the above link AND, 2) receive an email confirmation from the Thai government. Do not show up at the vaccination location without the above two things, or you will be turned away. Please Note: By filling out this form, you acknowledge that your information is going directly to the Thai Government coordinating officials, not the U.S. Embassy. This opportunity is available in Bangkok this Sunday only. You will need to make your own travel arrangements to the vaccination site. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheryl Posted July 17, 2021 Author Share Posted July 17, 2021 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 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khaepmu Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post kynikoi Posted July 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 17, 2021 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. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed do register with Embassy and everywhere else that allows and be ready to act quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
