August 16, 20214 yr Popular Post I was finally able to reach someone (02 590 3832) who had what seemed to be credible information about Expatvac relative to getting it out to the provinces. Supposedly notifications will be mailed to the provincial health authorities this week. Keyword there is mailed; so, expect a few days delay. From that point everyone will be at the mercy of their provincial authorities to be queued up. Best case scenario appointment notifications go out the end of this week. I would think more realistically next week at the earliest. Remember the title of this post ends in "unofficial". I am sure there are a lot of people out there like me, just wanting some news even if it is unofficial.
August 16, 20214 yr Popular Post well, if it's from their line it's very much official. However, they change their story every day. So call them every day, record voice and compare. But it's pointless exercise. You don't know, if you will be on this list and what vax you will get.
August 16, 20214 yr This lines up with what I heard about how Thais can register when it is not "walk-in" like in Samut Prakan over the weekend. But yeah super inefficient, because these provinces are often also not very well organised. If you live near Bangkok, make an appointment with Medpark, wait for your confirmation and make the drive. You in and out in 40min including super easy free parking. Worth the half day trip? In my opinion yes. They don't ask which province you from you just need to be on their list.
August 16, 20214 yr Your info is way out of date since as of July 4 medpark isn't accepting registration from foreigners.

Your above post is about Moderna and before other channels of registration were introduced. Medpark is now vaccinating foreigners with other vaccines on a daily basis.

August 17, 20214 yr Popular Post Oh good, that will be the next drama. "Sir, your vaccine is in the mail"
August 17, 20214 yr I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that if any expat here, especially an American, really wants Pfizer or Moderna vaccines the only sure way of getting them is to go to the United States.

There have been reports of TVF members travelling from Nan province and Chiang Mai to MedPark hospital in Bangkok for Pfizer vaccinations. Obviously not an ideal solution but certainly cheaper and quicker than travelling back to the US ?

I am American, and I got Pfizer yesterday in BKK after signing up last week. And I am I Pattaya. Just sign up on as many lists as possible…..that is what I did. They don’t care where you are from. They seem to have got on the ball with the Pfizer now.
August 17, 20214 yr I notice several talking about the expatvac and "mailing" of update later this week. Not sure how the rest of the world is doing but in the outskirts of ChiangMai (tonpao), mail goes from tonpao to sankamphaeng to Lamphun then back to Chiangmai and then to immigration but now lamphun is closed until the end of the month according to the mail person. They had reportedly built up quite a backlog of mail/boxes and had some covid scare. I have been waiting for 3 weeks for my return mail from immigration (90-day report via ems) which normally is here within 3 days of their receipt of my report. Hopefully if any info is mailed, TVF members will be spreading it further and I will learn then if I should register with my local hospital or whatever it is that we are supposed to do to get a jab.
August 17, 20214 yr l'm in Pattaya and l've given up trying to register. Every time l get on a new site it shuts down or you can't make changes.
August 17, 20214 yr Thanks PEMEL. ANY information is welcome. Besides the TAT its hard to find credible information from Thai authorities.
August 17, 20214 yr registered on new expatvac site for today Aug 17. for Sept 21 shot-. Haven't heard from first date Aug 1 when I registered - so hope this one is real-

Ditto here - Pfizer this Sunday at Medpark, driving up from Hua Hin. If not for the protests on Rama4 it would have been a perfect in-out experience. The only hiccup in the process is the confirmation email as others have reported. I was able to choose my preferred vaccine and date/time without issue. No confirmation email from them until I emailed them about 20 hours before my appointment. They did respond immediately though. I guess if it was perfect it wouldn't be Thailand...

August 17, 20214 yr Literally just 30 minutes ago I received an email from expatvac to tell me my registration is null & void as I didn't send a picture of my extension to stay, not my fault if their crappy website didn't explain how to do it, so those of you who only sent your photo page can expect the same. Fortunately as I was registered with about 6 different sites I had the AstraZeneca offered by someone else ????????

August 17, 20214 yr My Expatvac update. Used it to register for Pfizer and also registered directly with Bumrungrad Hospital (who has my medical records) who was to have Pfizer. Received confirmation of registration from both but no appointments. After 2 weeks BH followed with email explaining reason for delay - it needed to confirm through Mor Pom (?) that I didn't already have a Covid-19 vaccination. Then 8/16 get an appointment for 8/17 from BHN Hospital via sms for 1st Pfizer jab and referenced Intervac as source of my registration ???? Never registered with Intervac. Never registered directly with BHN. Today 8/17 got my 1st Pfizer jab at BHN and next appointment on 9/6 for 2nd jab. Did BH transfer my registration to BHN or what? Since the vaccine was the same, no matter. Just very odd.
August 17, 20214 yr Okay I got Medpark Pfizer yesterday. They sending out appointments today heavily in Bangkok Area. I got 3 more appointments for Pfizer in Bangkok for this week lol. Can't cancel them also.. but yeah their problem. ( Underlying Condition, under 60)
