Tuesdays are going to be busy.

I looked carefully at the link provided, almost all were Bangkok hospitals and this one: Sriracha Hospital, Chonburi.

Am I missing something? I saw no mention of BPH.

Obviously you did not look carefully. Inoculations are to take place on the 6th flr of Central Festival Pattaya....and I haven't even looked carefully.

 

Edit. I see you mean: https://www.thailandintervac.com

 

Check the registration date. It hasn't yet arrived.

Program 1 unavailable, please choose another option

Wow, another hospital providing vaccines in the Bangkok/Chonburi areas. Meanwhile the rest of Thailand can only hope and pray. ☹️☹️

I have 1 week to put on 10kg more

Steps back in surprise!!! ???? 

For your first dose you have a choice of.... Sinovac or Sinovac!

more confusion 

 

no mention of BPH

 

already registered with expatvax - what happened to that 

 

I have never seen such a mess

Open your eyes--read it again!!

Yet one more list to put the name on, third or forth already...

My guess would be that:

* Chinese expats who want to return to China will likely select 2 x Sinovac jabs

* foreigners who want to visit any country other than China will likely select 2 x AstraZeneca

* foreigners who plan to stay in Thailand and not leave the country may wish to consider 1st jab Sinovac and 2nd jab AstraZeneca. The reason being early results from a study/trial underway suggest the mix of Sinovac/AstraZeneca (in that order) gives efficacy similar to 2xAstraZeneca, with the jabs only a few weeks apart, as opposed to going for 2xAstraZeneca where the jabs are 8 to 12 weeks apart. But of course no country recognizes Sinovac/AstraZeneca combo (to my knowledge) and thus its not an optimal approach for international travelers.

 

I'm curious to learn if my 'guess' is accurate.

BPH registration open on the 16th, either on 'thailandintervac' or directly with BPH web page (for vaccination 2nd week of September).. if you get confirmation, then just cancel all other registrations...not confusing at all.

doesn't matter which vaccine you get now, it won't be recognised by the west for years for travel purposes

 

Thailand could be bottom of the list of countries where the vaccines given are recognised as genuine

Really? So those who have gone to Bangkok for Pfizer (shipped from USA to Thailand) won't have their Pfizer recognized? or are you only referring to those in this Bangkok Hospital in Pattaya offering?

 

Frankly, I think some countries in the west will recognize Pfizer, and a smaller number will recognize the Thai produced AstraZeneca.

 

Also, I note there is a LOT more to this world than the 'west' .... although clearly for some, only the 'west' matters to them.

i'm referring to proof you can provide to other countries that the vaccine you've had in thailand is genuine

 

doesn't matter where the vaccine is shipped from, until an app or similar that can prove the vaccine is genuine, you still have to go through the same process as someone unvaccinated

 

"Dr Somchai, can I give you 10,000 baht to make a fake vaccine certificate?" "Yes Sir"

 

I refer to the west as I assume most on here are from western countries, therefore more relevant for traveling home

Wife tells me that the school my 5 year old is supposed to be attending are trying to sort our vaccines for students parents - might be the only way the school can open I guess !

not for a smart guy like you 

 

I contacted BPH directly last week and they told me to register with expatvax ....................... yeah not confusing at all 

 

I will just leave it at that before I say something I will regret
