That's the big question Andrew. I've read the website 5 times and they definitely could be clearer.  What I read is that either the Pfizer, Astra, Moderna or J&J vaccine has to be administered in the USA, EU or UK to qualify for entry into the UK NHS vaccination registry (read future Covid passport).

Yup, these websites always use a hundred words when 10 will do and cloud the waters !

The answer to this is probably worthy of a thread on its own, plus it is probably subject to change.

Pfizer is recognized worldwide. 

Maybe soon.

"While arrivals from overseas are locked out of using the NHS app for domestic certification to prove they have been vaccinated, the government did change the rules from this week to let in those who have been double-jabbed in Europe and the US – so long as it was with a vaccine approved for use by three regulators: the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, the US Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency."

The upshot is if you're planning to travel from Thailand to the UK any time within the next few months, don't get your vaccine here in Thailand but wait and get it done in the UK. Hopefully some kind of international certification system will be here next year but don't hold your breath.

I signed up late this evening, Monday, 9 August.  I didn't have a medical certificate so I used my U.S. Dept. of Veteran Affairs benefits authorization.  I'd be curious which vaccines are offered and accepted by the expats here.  I live just south of Hua Hin.

Would sus that you would not have a problem with one.or.2 of the Big 4.on entry to UK...Pfizer, Astra, Moderna and J&J with a UK pp...but must agree with above.ie..home jabs..dee makk ..however.. things change quickly

So 75,000 (double vax) donated by the USA

42,000 registered

Then I would expect (LOL who am I kidding) all foreigners to be vaccinated with this gift

 

Its like a game of find the lady (cards) or the pea in the cup, watch the slight of hand. Imaging the screams from the HiSo if all the dirty foreigners are vaxed first with a Delta proven vaccine.

Astrazeneca is a DELTA proven vaccine!  Be grateful for what you get.

Earlier, Mr Tanee said that he expects people to start receiving vaccine appointment dates from August 10 and 11.

So much for the statisitics and the laws of probability. According to your way of thinking, Public Health isn't a thing. And the R(0) factor is a myth.

Are you talking about 'R not' or R0?  It is not a factor nor a myth, it represents the basic reproduction number -- which is the number of secondary infections generated from an initial case at the beginning of an epidemic.  Rt is basically the same value at another point of time in the epidemic.  It is a function and like any function there are multiple variables that the function is made of -- as such it can be affected by efforts to combat the spread such as masks, keeping ones distance, etc.  If you can adjust the variables so that R0 or Rt falls below one, then the total number of cases drop and the pandemic eventually ends if it is consistently is held below one everywhere.

think it will take a while, if they know how to sort the data by region age and other factors is could be done a lot quicker, not hard to do

No....when I input the 13 x digit number to confirm/check...this has been the response/s...  "Your information does not exist, Please fill your informations in this registration form."....and again and again.....gotta laugh...otherwise...yes..

No, No, No, If you arrive at UK immigration and you are not vaccinated they drop you in the sea just outside of UK territorial waters and you will have to tread water hoping they change the criteria ????
