I wonder if you could put your son's address down.

When I filled in registration I just ticked Bangkok. I'm actually going tomorrow for jab so will check what they do for address.

Thank you.  I will be interested in your report back.

I will do.

Here is current report from another thread posted just now.

Sounds good..ish

 

Went there yesterday. Went pretty smoothly and took just over an hour and that includes the compulsory 30 minutes you have have to wait before you can leave. It was AZ but I forgot to ask if it was home grown or from the donation from Japan. Nurses aspirated the syringe before plunging. There were alot of people but I wouldn't call it overly crowded or choatic as it was spread over quite a large area and ran pretty well. Bit of a headache today (may not be juice related), a bit more tired than usual and my arm ached a little bit when I woke up during the night but nothing really

I think its about time this was changed to DDOOC. Would be a lot closer to the truth.

Too many.

For sure! What a mess! The covid plan focus on the best vaccines to the whealty hi-so´s and the earning money in Phuket. That is the priority.

A useful link, thank you but 

'Vaccination registration for foreign residents aged 60 and over ONLY (born in 1961 or before) residing in Bangkok and neighboring provinces (Nakhon Pathom, Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, Samut Prakarn, Samut Sakhon) 

Click >> https://forms.gle/ULAqvx8eiDoX3v5Q9 <<

 

(For foreign residents residing in other provinces, please contact provincial health authorities or your provincial hospitals)

Ministry of Foreign Affairs'

They are jabbing farangs from anywhere in Thailand if you are over 75, just turn up and join the queue, get there early is best. My mate and his friends got jabbed last wednesday and they all live in Pattaya.

What are these seven high risk diseases they speak of, sometimes they call them morbidities. Obesity and pregnancy are conditions I suppose, dementia could be a disease. What are the other ones.

I was there yesterday and they didn't seem too worried about the address provided you give them a Bangkok address. The guy sitting next to me just wrote down his address on a bit of paper for them.

Thank you.  My son's (53) was Sinopharm.  I might just sit tight for a week & see if the situation clarifies.

Are you sure it wasn't Sinovac? I thought only Chulabhorn hospital was giving out Sinopharm. If your son has his second appointment 6 weeks later, then that will be AstraZeneca. That Sinovac+AstraZeneca combination seems to be working quite well.

'Jab number 1 done.

Sinopharm - 72.8% effective against symptomatic cases and 100% against severe cases.

I'll take those odds.'  This is his FB comment.

I would register as soon as possible at Bang Sue and use your sons address. don't go without an appointment. Alternatively there is this option:

I admire his positive thinking but neither Sinovac nor Sinopharm are going to be anywhere near that effective against the Delta variant.
