Surprised.

Will be interesting to see if he is given Pfizer for second jab. You would think so.

Lucky you, I'm Thai in the centre of a large city, and can't get a vaccine, meanwhile foreigners all around me can. 

You're just a foreigner who got Thai citizenship recently which is different.

Why? I just got a LINE message saying my Moderna is due in October, but no actual day yet. 

I’m also waiting for the Moderna Vaccination which I’ve signed up for myself, wife, and daughter that’s supposedly in October as well....      I signed us up on May 1st and placed a call to their Call Center today and was told everything is still on schedule for October, but strangely enough they (don’t) know where it’s coming from or even the date in October....      ????????????????????????????      A (3rd) dose will be available in the USA in September while we’re here trying to get the 1st. jab.... Go figure ????????????????????????????????????

so now blaming foreigners, who did not register with their consulates, for failing to get their vax.

Blame from him also goes to those consulates, who did not supply full data.

That is just pointless exercise on his site, to push away responsibility of his ministry.

All foreigners, who want vax, did register multiple times on websites and applications belonging to this ministry, as well as with private hospitals, ministry of foreign affairs, chula uni.

He is responsible for failing to order and justly distribute vax to all population, without bias.

In face of shortage, vax goes to civil servants, police and army, influential, rich people. Some of them got already 3 shots, a booster.

 

I am in bangkok, I have registered with all possible websites, I did also pay for moderna and willing to pay for sinopharm or any other vax. So far I have no luck even for the 1st shot.

 

Ditto. My wife managed to register me  with the Airport 9 hospital. 2,400 baht up front. She got a message recently, probably November for Moderna.

I am 67 with several of their qualifying health conditions, and have lost count of how many times I've tried to register. This recent site for foreigners said I'm registered, but no further notice, and no way I see to check status.

Any ideas on that? I'd happily take that jab. Been pretty much self quarantining for most of a year. I need to move a little!

I recd an email in response to the expatvac site and was summoned to BangSue for my first Jab. Astra Zeneca. Very well organised and was in and out of the centre within 25 minutes. Worrying thing was the place was huge but virtually empty.. No queues, but only a handful of farang and Thai. I don't know if it's shortage of vaccines or too many anti vaxxers.

Now this was being expanded to the provinces. Further liaison was taking place with the Department of Consular Affairs on lists of names so that provincial authorities could arrange appointments for foreigners residing in the country.

Surely provincial authorities would do better contacting provincial immigration offices, they have a record of every person.

You need to be better informed before making comments like this. A 90 day report is free. No money goes in any pockets.

Immigration make a fortune by extortion, all those 1000's of baht for letting people off the 2000 fine for being late, goes straight in their pocket, never any receipts. 

If someone is negligent enough to overlook the simple procedure of a 90 day report and is then so absent minded that he doesn't bother to ask for a receipt when fined, then that, IMO is fair game.

 

Or should I say fair gain! ????

Having said that, little old me, up here in the middle of nowhere, received my 1st AZ jab 5 weeks ago and I'm booked for my 2nd one next month. And I'm not the rare exception by a long way. So Anutin seems to be behind the times somewhat.

Exception? Did you already have a pink card?

I do have a pink card, but whether that was relevant or not I do not know. I was put on the vaccination list the old fashioned way. By a volunteer community worker with a clipboard, pen and paper. Plenty of others have reported that they were 'netted' the same way.

[johnarth]

the head lady where I live told me to wait until next year for a jab and i dont care by then I will be able to chose witch one I want

[JomtienRay]

I received first jab Pfizer yesterday at Central Festival Pattaya, administered by Bangkok Pattaya Hospital, FREE.. Second dose appointment made for 3 weeks time.

This is a result of registering on expatvac a few weeks back.

Many people were processed, both Thai nationals and foreigners, in an orderly and well managed professional process..

I'm very grateful for this opportunity and wish to thank the officials and BPH management for arranging this.. 

I'm 74.. ????????????????

So what vaccine are upcountry expats likely to receive? Sinovac or AZ? 

Or will the plan be Sinovac followed by AZ.

At 70 yrs old that is what I have been offered from my local hospital, i politely refused.

In other words, lists of names obtained from Expatvac.

 

"This raises the possibility that foreigners who have had difficulties in registering and been knocked back may not have registered their presence in Thailand with their respective embassies. ASEAN NOW stresses that we have no confirmation of this. "

 

This statement makes no sense at all! Aseannow is saying "foreigners who have difficulties in registering" (on Expatvac) may not have registered with their Embassy! What BS! ????????

 

And nowhere on their site does it mention registering at your embassy, this Nut-In government seem not to have a clue about expats or their own user un-friendly site.

That's exactly it.. If not rejected for some reason by a ' no reply ' email..... What a M..s..... Everyone I know in Eu has been vaccinated, including my 86 year old bedridden mother; Vaccinated at home...

So you are saying you never showed or used the pink card or the number on the back to get on the  clip board the volunteer worker used to sign you up?

Rather offensive post. 

 

What untruth did I post? 

[Kirb46Lam]

My Thai family and I registered for Moderna when the registration process first became 

available some months ago 

 

Now not available until early next year. sometime soon ????

 

Waiting it out. 

 

Or i say to my wife we will all be dead then ????

My wife dealt with the registration. She has just told me that all they wanted was my passport.

State your large city ... this is hard to believe.

Many younger Thai's are getting vaccinated in Bangkok and surrounding provinces.  Even up in Chiang Mai Thai's are getting vaccinated.  Thai people were getting vaccinated long time before foreigners in this country.

I'm with the other guy... In Bangkok. Registered at 4 places. Paid moderna already and maybe it will come in October or November. Just under their requirement of the 7 underlying conditions as well as just under 60. Not a peep on when I will be able to get my vaccine also. Websites are a mess. You're younger so how did you get it before us? What was your secret . Because I've met and talk with many foreigner in bkk having the same results as I am.
