Bangkok Pattaya hospital vaccine roll out?

[Wardp]

I've been trying to register at every hospital in Pattaya for vaccines. I have been watching the thailand intervac every morning than this morning i here that Bangkok Pattaya had been registering for astra zeneca but they are not on the thaiintervac list .how does that work? I'm over 60 with pre existing and still waiting just to register in Pattaya area. Yours sincerely peed of..

Bangkok Hospital Pattaya did only a survey recently on Moderna I assume to sound out the level of interest. But there is no mention of any vaccination taking place nor any plans in the near future.

Moderna Covid-19 Vaccine Survey

The form Moderna Covid-19 Vaccine Survey is no longer accepting responses.
Try contacting the owner of the form if you think that this is a mistake.

If you're high risk (over 60, etc.) and have a doctor that knows you at BPH contact her ASAP and ask to be sponsored for AZ jabs. They don't seem to have a stock in right now, but they apparently have an expected (limited) allotment that they expect before very long. So now they are directly contacting some known high risk patients and registering them. This is not the same thing at all as their Moderna program.

 

As far as when more widespread availability will happen here. I have no idea!

That particular survey was limited to existing registered customers.

I got a Astra Zeneca vaccine today July 29th at Bangkok Pattaya Hospital. I had an 11 am appointment as did many other people. I was done by 12:30 and that included the half wait after you get the shot. I am registered at Bangkok Pattaya Hospital and they called me and asked if I wanted an appointment. The guy next to me in line said a friend of his received an email that said a vaccine was available. He got that email address and requested an appointment and his request was answered in a half hour. Before you ask, I don't have that email address, sorry.

Thanks for that report.

No money no honey?

I am high risk

I chivvied BPH and  got a call at 0830 tuesday and jabbed by 11.00

It was AZ

3 friends got theirs today Thursday and 1 more to be jabbed tomorrow

Departments apparently are allocated doses and Doctors nominate their patients

Not publicised

Efficient and no cost

Contact ....... inquiry @bph.co.th

I'm 60 and a wee bit (which still seems weird to me) with no under laying issues aside from injuries I received in a moto accident a few months ago (the day before my 60th actually).

I've got an appointment tomorrow regarding an issue related to the accident injuries. I'll make a note to ask the doc about getting an AZ jab while I'm there.

I registered on another hospital site (KSBR) for the Moderna jab(s) but they won't start until October (maybe) and the closest hospital is in Chachoengsao.

Probably wouldn't hurt to get an AZ now and then a Moderna a couple months later.

[ehs818]

I went there on Wednesday to request an appt because a friend of mine just returned from a regular doctor appointment and was offered the AZ vaccine for Thursday. I had to go to my Gastroenterologists department to sign up and was told someone would call to set an appointment this week or next. As I walked into my front door that same day my phone was ringing and it was them. I have an appt for today, Friday 30 July at 11am. My friend went yesterday and while disorganized, it was for real. Total cost: ZERO. If you have any type of regular doctor at BKK Hospital Pattaya, go there and sign up! Do it now!

[Wardp]

I did contact them I was on there list but they said the had reached the quota. I told them to remove me from the register.and I won't be using there hospital again as they are unprofessional .if you have pre registered patients with underlying health conditions they should be prioritised. Call me old fashioned.etc etc

It's a hospital. Many or most of their customers have underlying health conditions. You may have to accept that others were judged to be a higher priority at the moment.

 

Hang on a little longer while taking every precaution, and vaccines will come to Pattaya.

[Wardp]

My friends have none of the five covid risk underlying conditions .

It's an and/or situation. 

The Thailand priority criteria is being over age 60 and/or having one of the defined health conditions. You don't need both.

If you're over 60 your criticism  is unfounded.

The idea of getting a third shot booster is controversial and has not been heavily researched. I feel this trend for people to self diagnose a need for a third shot booster may carry considerable unknown risks. Hopefully we'll know more later about the specifics. Currently I would say two shots of AstraZeneca is excellent protection against hospitalization and death in case of breakthrough infections.

[chilly07]

Yes you have to be currently receiving treatment and your doctor has to recommend you. Unfortunately I last attended more than 2 yrs ago so despite being 75 100kg and with prexisting conditions they wouldn't jab me

[Grusa]

My wife ancient have been in LOS for 13 years. We are patients registered at BPH, my wife attends quite regularly, myself not so much, but I did have major, and very expensive, back surgery some years ago.

She had an appointment today to see a doctor, I took the opportunity to try to get a vaccine appointment for us both. I was directed to the internal medicine department, where the nurse took our cards, and attempted to register us for AZ.

She came back to me to say yes, my wife could be registered, but myself not... as I had not attended the hospital for more than a year!

 

Breaking news, the doctor has authorised BOTH for vaxx!.

They sold a limited number of Moderna Vaccines  to people via their Facebook page. I bought one at midnight as soon as they went on sale.

Numbers were apparently VERY limited as my friend tried to buy one 12 hours later and was told they didn't have any more.

Hopefully I actually get mine...was told October at Bangkok Pattaya.

[Thingamabob]

It seems to me that many of us who have been regular patients at a hospital are being contacted by those hospitals with an invitation to book a vaccine injection. On this basis I have just had my first jab of AZN with a second jab booked for September. It's definitely worth trying any hospital which has treated you in the past.

[Kerryd]

Just came back from BHP.
The cardiology doctor I saw knew nothing about the vaccinations but her nurse did and filled her in about it.

Gave her (the nurse) my passport and a couple minutes later she came back to let me know what day and time I could come back next week to get jabbed.
No walk in vaccinations. You have to see a doctor and he/she has to approve you getting the jab.

Note - this will be an issue for some of you I'm sure. They want to see your original passport. Not an expired one. Not a photocopy. The current, valid, original passport.

(Note: I'm over 60 but no underlying conditions.)

Also note, I've been using BHP regularly for years, I'm in their "system", they call me before each appointment, but no one ever called to let me know about the vaccinations.

I imagine they are keeping it low key so they don't wake up tomorrow morning to find 10,000 people blocking the entrances, trying to get a shot of AZ.

[leba]

so ? is it only for over 60 and the hospital customers ?

if it is free it means that they get it for free, but from where ?

and if this hospital gets it, other hospitals also get it, so we just need to check as often as possible.

[mahjongguy]

For the general population, this phase of the campaign is focused on those who are 60+ and/or have serious illnesses known to be especially vulnerable to the virus.

 

I conclude, from what I've read and a few whispers I've heard from those close to the situation, that BHP was given a very modest amount of vaccine by the government and told to handle it as they deemed fit. So each department was given a specific quota. The GP clinic of course, Cardiology, etc. Probably not Dental.    ????

 

Doctors in each clinical group chose patients to contact. I suppose some had not reached their quota by yesterday or today and were thus able comply with a few requests coming as the news spread on Wednesday and Thursday.

 

If you have a condition that is recent and involves ongoing visits/treatment at BHP, get a message through to that doctor. It might not be too late. Maybe. If that is true of some other hospital than BHP, then yes, no matter what hospital in involved, you should contact that doctor. The odds aren't so good, not yet, but right now the vaccinations are going to those who get up early, play detective, and chase it down.

 

If you can't / won't go to Bangkok, then keep your eye on  ThailandIntervac.com. Some day very soon registrations will open for Samithivej Sriracha Hospital and they will get gobbled up in a flash.

 

[thweshfoyo]

I know someone who is 45 without conditions who got vaccinated there, so there is strict rule if you know how to proceed...

I suppose the 'and' is redundant then.

If anyone pushes for a third  booster shot I can image it will be championed by the multi national drug companies and the research into a 3rd booster will also be funded by them too  .. Profits are  "KING"   and <deleted> the people .

Well, no.  If you remove the "and" then you disqualify those who meet both requirements.

Rubbish.... the OR means they qualify twice. 

Ever heard of Boolean.....

[mahjongguy]

Since the discussion was about discussion, I retract my statement.

 

I still tend to think in programming terms, like SQL, where a simple OR would return two records. That may or may not be desirable to the person creating the report.

 

My own underlying disease requires that I can only drink decaf coffee, and it shows.
