Expats in Thailand to get vaccines soon: Anutin????????????

LMMAO !!!

[JimHuaHin]

"Soon" - before or after the election?

[chalawaan]

So far many in Chiang Mai have had free Sino with AZ#2 given from next week.

 

We're the the pick n mix guinea pigs!

 

I can't wait for my Marvel superpowers to kick in, but I'll settle for the lesser-known side effect of an unfeasibly large todger.

I received an email today telling me that I can get a Pfizer vacc at Kanchanaburi Hospital on Monday.   Great news , except I had my first at MedPark 10 days ago.

I registered on intervac & expat vac sites, and came up trumps on both!

Interestingly, my email from the hospital came with an attachment - listing the names, age, email address & country of origin for all recipients at the hospital  - typical high tech security!!

Not an entirely correct comment.  First being vaccinated doesn't get you anything with regard to entry into the USA.  Second, if talking about the AstraZeneca manufactured in Thailand it is accepted in Germany and France.  It is not currently accepted by the EU Medicines Agency, however EU member states make their own decisions on whether to recognize the vaccination (see Germany and France).

The interval between jabs of Pfizer should be 21 days.

The Pfizer vaccination you received at MedPark didn't come with an appointment for the second dose?  Generally, when you get your first jab in Thailand you will be given an appointment for the second jab.  Didn't that happen for you at MedPark?

If you've been given an appointment for a second jab at MedPark then you should cancel the Kanchanaburi Hospital appointment.  Actually, you should cancel the appointment on Monday because it is too soon (not 21 days) after your first jab.

All the different sites for vaccine registration makes this situation understandable.  I doubt you would actually be given the second jab on Monday but I wouldn't want to find out. ????

Sorry, thanks US government and US tax payer (I am not American)?

[DjSilver]

Thailand should respect foreigners more since it is foreigners inobe way or another (expats, retired, tourists) that brings more taxes to Thailand than the Thai people.

[Scott Tracy]

Still bored and still waiting for expatvac finger back to me.

 

Got a message from the British Consulate that there will be an opening for registration of AZ in Bangkok tomorrow for vaccination between tomorrow and 25th. Fine, but I'm not in Bangkok, nor even close...about 280 miles...

Who did you register with? I am over 70 registered with expatvac and heard nothing about an appointment after confirmation of registration. I am also listed at Bangkok hospital here in Hua Hin

[55Jay]

Wife got a call from one of her nurse or Dr. buddies at the big government hospital in our city in Nakhon Ratchasima, reporting that some Pfizer doses were being sent up to them 'soon'.  I presume that would be a portion of US donated Pfizer linked to the ExpatVac registration site.  Sounds like gears might indeed be moving somewhere, we'll see how this develops.

[Neni]

Poor title to this article. It's already happening.

Yes.  I have my 2nd vacc booked in at MedPark already

Yes - I have already cancelled my Kanchanaburi appt.   I rang them to see if my wifes' father - who has a lung condition, could take my appointment - but no , these vaccines are for non-Thai only.

 

I posted this information to advise people that the vaccine rollout for eligible expats is beginning in areas other than Bangkok.

I did not request a guide on vaccination protocol - but thanks anyway...

I suggest that the nut in charge should have said over 500,000, or exactly 555,555.

[Isaan sailor]

Maybe they’ll confirm appointments for those of us in Isaan?  We’ve been good little expats…

Doesn't matter to expats, we don't get to vote.

[CM Dad]

I received my initial Pfizer vaccine yesterday morning in Chiang Mai.  I will get a second shot of Pfizer on 10 September.  The entire process was very well managed by Thai nurses and staff at McCormick Hospital.

Mr Anutin said that the Ministry of Public Health and Department of Consular Affairs have been working hard to liaise with foreingn embassies in Thailand so that all expats are able to receive the vaccine.

Why do they need to do that if we've applied to the latest app that opened August 1st?

Or is that yet another failure?

[bdenner]

Been 3 weeks since I registered on the expatvac site, not even a rejection over the BS visa issues. Yep, we in Isaan are on the bottom of the pecking order.

Will give it one more week then line up for the sinovac AZ combination, knocked back the opportunity 4 times now since 1st Aug.

Expats or Myanmar factory workers?  I'm thinking the latter would make up the majority of that assertion.

[Aussieroaming]

Just registered for another vaccine rollout today, that makes about 5 registration websites thus far. If nothing else my registration skills are improving.

 

Anutin, you are a <deleted>.

[Fairynuff]

1,000 baht to anyone who can give me one good reason why I should believe this or anything he says

[Old Croc]

For those who haven't worked it out, the people crowing about getting vax are all situated in, or near, one of Thailand's biggest cities by population.

There seems to be little attempt to cover outlying areas not serviced by one of the big 10.

 

[EXSUB64]

Got my 1st AZ vaccine earlier today at Central Plazer (Khon Kaen). Very well organised and vaccination team very good and professional. Thankyou

[janetdoe]

The very fact that this is even a discussion is so telling of how people are treated in Thailand, which is a problem that was here before COVID and will remain long after it’s gone.

Thailand appears to be unable or unwilling to go beyond the us and them mentality that’s so far behind most other countries, it almost begs belief. 

[Old Croc]

I don't want to publicize one of the many expat vloggers in Thailand, particularly as so many of them are suddenly finding "family reasons" to flee back to their home countries. 

However, I did watch a post from one in the USA where he and his Thai wife wandered into a Pharmacy in Walmart where both were jabbed with Moderna within minutes, no questions asked other than, which one do you want.

 

That's how it should be Prayut and Anutin!

 

(Of course many Americans still refuse in the name of freedom!)

Is that Thai 'soon' or literally 'soon'?
