Curious to hear whether anyone actually got an appointment to get Pfizer via the expatvac site (and the shot!)? Initially, there was a discussion that appointments would be rolled out after August 10? Surely, 150,000 'reserved' doses cannot just disappear, even in Thailand?

I did, today in Sri Racha, go back 7th September for second Pfizer jab.

Samithivej Hospital Siracha rang yesterday and said come in for a Pfizer jab at 11.00 today. I said I was already booked for AZ at BPH tommorow so declined. I think the Pfizer must be expiring. As back up tried BPH new web site for Sept jabs where AZ and Sinovac offered but they were oversubscribed and wouldn't accept my submission as I already had an appointment. Sincerely hope they don't run out tommorow as so far I have turned down 5 other Bangkok appointments in favour of BPH. If they come good I will take my custom from PM Hospital to BPH as PM have failed to get any Vaccines for me and don't seem inclined to try (staff uncooperative when queried on why they hadn't organised a jab for me despite many reminders) I have been with PM for 8 yrs but they have let me down on Vaccines and previously on sepsis. Don't like BPH as they are a money making machine but if they come up trump's on Vaccines I have no choice!

Pfizer, There were Thais there getting AZ

Ok thanks

Keep believing, it's happening. I live in Bangkok and got first jab of Pfizer yesterday. Arm still hurts!

 

This appt came from a call from the hospital last week to say they can now offer me vaccine. I am a patient of theirs and had my name on their list for two months. A bit strange, a couple hours after my jab yesterday I got two different emails from MFA/expatvac@consular, both coming to my gmail acct (maybe from registering on expatvac site two weeks ago as [email protected] and [email protected]) giving details of appt for this coming Thursday, at the same hospital that I got my jab yesterday. So maybe the hospital knew my name was coming and since my name was already on their list and I am a patient of theirs they offered early. 

 

More good news is they give a 13 digit ID which can be used to create a More Prom account which contains jab details, next appt. And most importantly this looks to be where we will have our vaccine certificate which will be crucial for future travel.

 i have so far for myself and friends been accepted for  Medpark 1 x Az,   Phyathai2 2 x pfizer, 2 x AZ,( jabs all received) BHP 1x AZ, all via thailandintervac, waiting for appointments at Samithivej Sriracha Hospital Pfizer(again via thailandintervac),  BCCT ( british chamber of commerce) AZ at unknown hospital in  Pattaya

not being flash but just to show it is possible to gets jabs, esp if you don't mind travelling to Bangkok

Any side effects after receiving 27 jabs? 

[tomacht8]

If that's true, then that's the highest level of disgusting.

 

According to the authorities in China (2016), light penalties were imposed in 200,000 corruption cases and 82,000 corruption offenses resulted in severe penalties. Corruption in China can be punished with the death penalty and life imprisonment.

 

Nothing happens to corrupt officials here.

Pfizer vacs coming to Isaan next week, or so they say.  Of course med workers here already got theirs.  Hope they have saved a few doses for qualified, registered expats in the orange provinces.

I wonder if any Pfizer winging its way to Phuket

[whiteman]

another friend received his jab there last friday the 13th, Samithivej Sriracha Hospital, Chonburi has a link for AZ, but once on the page pfizer is also shown as an option

 

 

I also got my 1st jab on the same day as your friend Friday the 13th August at this Hospital above at 3 pm. was not offered Pfizer only AZ given I was told after not b4 I had been given the jab that if I had not gone in that day but came the next Monday the 16th Pfizer would then have been given to me. Unlucky me but AK is better than the other stuff from China. Maybe in 12 weeks when I go for my 2nd jab they my offer me Pfizer, I am not sure if they safely mix and match those 2???

I saw this on www.thailandintervac.com/  ... I don't remember if this is old or not, but might be worth a try stopping in to see them

Ok, that´s good news. I assume that is under the Expatvac-program or have they registered elsewhere? I just question because I know a lot of foreigners over 60 with many underlying problems that have registered but without answer.

After that, I apologize deeply for not being as informed as you are. No Sir, no more questions.

They are all over 60.  I know at least one of them has diabetes but not sure about the others. I don't know how they got registered but I will ask.  I believe they had to go to Bangkok Hospital to get it.  I also know of some guys getting AstraZeneca shots at Bangkok Pattaya Hospital.

I too have enrolled on 'intervac' 3 or 4 weeks back + BCCT.  It appears that early registration sends you to the bottom of the list.  I do mind travelling to the epicentre of the pandemic and joining the milling crowds (many who paid illicitly thro a corrupt internet hack).
