Popular Post Gold Star Posted August 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2021 Are these the October Moderna doses that took me 2 days to get online, and that I paid for in advance that were 'reallocated' to the Red Cross, while I now patiently wait for a whiff of any vaccine, stuck alone at home? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrot on a string. I got tired and fed up with the lies and promises. We sold our house and flew to Los Angeles last Thursday. We have a vacation home in Arizona. Wife, her son and l already received our 1st Pfizer jab. 2nd jab scheduled 3 weeks after 1st. No waiting or appointment required. In and out at the supermarket pharmacy in 40 minutes. Will wait here for spousal immigration to Canada is approved. Will we return to the land of scams, corruption and lies. Very unlikely. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too - no vaccines for expats here - I think my paid for Moderna will be the first as I cannot see the situation around BKK improving soon so no vaccines out here in the ISSAN provinces. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so ... but this is my guess. I should thou say, well done in succeeding to book on line. Many tried and failed. My speculation is in the coming weeks, we will read more stories of Moderna showing up in dribs and drabs in Q4 of 2021. My speculation also, is that the Moderna jabs that one has booked via the private hospitals, won't be given out until December-2021 or Q1-2022. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife just came in to the room saying she was given a site to register for Moderna up in Khon Kean city, about 2 hours away. Registered both of us, response said January ~ March 2022 time frame. Not very useful, but interesting that it dovetailed with your comment/speculation. We are both under 60, no qualifying medical conditions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is KhonKhon? If you mean Khon Kaen then you cannot really be paying attention as these are for the residents of Khon Kaen. No idea what's available in Khonkhon Maybe you live in cuckoo land? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a statement that vaccine is available in Issan, thank you for pointing out my spelling mistake. To update you and others they are open until the 27th and not just for Local residents and Thai, open to all who fit the bill. Would you like me to check in your area for you?

I had tried by using one account for the wife, and another for me the day it opened. Using 5 devices: 2 computers, 2 smartphones, and an iPad, I kept hitting the submit button on all of them like a piano, hammering the site repeatedly. Eventually after 5 hours, one device got through for one account but the form was misleading adn had an error. I previously applied for myself 2 shots and one booster but it came out as 2 shots for 2 people and one booster due to poor website labelling. To correct it, would mean exiting the site to do a correction, and lose my place, and reapply. So I bought the 4 shots and a booster for 8250 baht and will change the name of two of them to her name when the time comes. The fact that they got Moderna into Thailand, stolen or not, is surprising and gives me a bit of hope though during these dark times where everything is going wrong with the vaccine rollout. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame Thailand how you deal with people If they(The Red Cross) would give them to needy people , i wouldn't mind even though i already paid because i am not an elite and don't want to be seen as one because we can pay for them and others in need can't. But i am afraid that that's not the story and that it will be as you said , going to the elite and friends . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
