I contacted the Bangkok Hospital Phuket by email, Facebook and Line and was told: We still do not have any information on this matter refer to vaccine will be arranged by government only. I asked if there was a list to sign up and was told no, No List. So can someone tell me how the hospital is going to contact me?

Saltire Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Thought for a minute I had a reply from expatvac/local hospital but, no, just an invite from the UK consulate email address to go to .... you guessed it, Bangkok for Astra Zenica. May be of interest to some of you but I will continue to wait for a venue less than 7 hours away. One more disappointment ???? GOV.UK The British Embassy has been informed that British nationals over the age of 18 have the opportunity to receive an AstraZeneca covid-19 vaccination at Piyavate Hospital in Bangkok between 25 and 29 August. Second vaccination 12 weeks later. Registration, on a first come first served basis, is through the following google docs form, https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe3h7dn4nVDNdNDD6ObyPYx6-H0mvE-nJ-RQjFigRrTNRUiqg/viewform?usp=sf_link. Registration closes on Sunday 22 August. Cost is THB 50. Numbers of vaccines are limited, so register now. If you are unsuccessful, we advise you to continue to register with the Thai Ministry of Public health, https://expatvac.consular.go.th/.

Thailand Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Vaguely remember seeing there had been 43,000 plus registrations via Expatvac but only some 29,000 names had ben sent to the MOH. Does that mean that around 14,000 failed to get authorized for vax? May have got the figures wrong but I guess someone knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saltire Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I see the British Chamber of Commerce offering Bangkok jabs too now. Maybe Bangkok will be finished soon and we can get on with helping the other 90% of the population? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Dwyer Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I did get an email today stating I have a Covid appointment at my local hospital ( Ayutthaya ) for Tuesday 24th 11.00 am. Could be related to expatvac as the English language video did say appointments would come directly and not from expatvac. The email is in Thai and English, has no relation to any hospital/clinic is just an email address.( Thai female name ) 38 other emails cc’d , 50/50 Thai and foreigners. A couple of names on the list asking what vaccines ?? A little unprofessional but also suspicious ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltire Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) For those in Kanchanaburi the main Phahol hospital is sending out SMS and emails. I had the wife call them but she got the usual response I have had everywhere in this province, Thai only. Assuming the switchboard girl was using the stock 'I don't know' answer I found their website and Facebook page, all in Thai. I fired off an email (no reply as yet) and a messenger query, which was answered quickly and in English, recommending I register with expatvac, which I did August 1st. So if you are in Kanchanaburi here is the current situation. They have a list of 30 names from the MFA (of course my name is not on it). They are receiving names in batches from the MFA and there are more to come in a second round. They don't know when they wil get the second list. So it's 2 steps forward 1 back for me, but if you are one of the 30 you should hear something soon. I also think this is now likely to be happening in other lesser provinces, so let's say it is progress and stay optimistic.

kwonitoy Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Tanee Sangrat @SangratTanee CCSA Operation Center met today. MFA shared the latest data on Expatvac registration and reiterated the urgent need to expedite the vaccination of foreign residents under Expatvac. So I hope for more vac next week. I’m sorry for not having better news. 7:26 PM · Aug 21, 2021·Twitter for iPhone At least Khun Tanee is honest about how it's going and trying to remedy it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
