Popular Post UKJASE Posted August 21, 2021 Popular Post Posted August 21, 2021 Myself, and my thai girlfriend, and several friends, have all been vaccinated at the BCC facility at Bangrak Hospital in Bangkok They say the AZ vaccine is available to all nationalities, and all ages. If anyone else is in bangkok, or anybody willing to travel there (they will issue travel documents allowing you to travel to the capital) wants the vaccine, then email this lady and ask her for the form. She usually arranges a vaccination date within the week or receiving your message i think. The second shot will be arranged for 12 weeks later <email address removed at recipient's request> PS It's free 9 6 1

Popular Post champers Posted August 21, 2021 Popular Post Posted August 21, 2021 A couple of weeks ago they offered me a jab in Bangkok, but as I live in Pattaya, I declined. I want to get my jab in Pattaya rather than go to Bangkok. It was a risk v reward decision for me. 8

Popular Post grain Posted August 21, 2021 Popular Post Posted August 21, 2021 I was vaxed 2 weeks ago at MedPark but my Thai tirak can't find a vax, so I just sent an email to BCC, if they reply and give her a date I'll drive her to BKK to get a jab.....thanks to OP for the link. 4 1
Popular Post RAZZELL Posted August 21, 2021 Popular Post Posted August 21, 2021 Sent an email and got a reply with a form/excel sheet 5 minutes later. Completed it and returned. Now waiting for 3 different ways to get a vaccine. Let's hope one turns up. RAZZ 5
Popular Post Chris.B Posted August 21, 2021 Popular Post Posted August 21, 2021 Why does the British Chamber of Commerce have so much vaccines they are giving it away to all comers? ???????? 5

Popular Post OishiRefill Posted August 21, 2021 Popular Post Posted August 21, 2021 That's really good of you to share that information. I am sure there are others such as myself who did not know about this. I am surprised nobody else who already knew (who is a foreigner) did not share the love in the way that you have done. Opportunities for non-Thais to get a vaccination are highly sought after obviously. I hope that I am not too late and that they still hold stock. Thank you once again! 4
Thailand Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 Bangrak hospital, is that in Chiang Mai near the British Consulate?

No priority for the elderly, sick or pregnant? Where is the compassion and unselfishness there? Hang on a sec, I'm just getting my tongue out of my cheek. There, that's better. If you really want to be serious, the elderly are being catered for as are those with certain conditions (if that's what you mean by "sick"). If, however, by "sick", you just mean those who don't feel well, they're no priority. What so special about the pregnant that they need priority, they're usually the younger members of society, aren't they? Having said that, did anyone say that the elderly, sick or pregnant weren't being included by the BCCT? Pretty sure no one did.

There was a topic in the Health section about the BCCT initiative. https://aseannow.com/topic/1222224-uk-citizens-seeking-covid-vaccine-in-thailand/ I signed up for it, amongst many other other options, and they sent an email update towards end of July stating that dates/appointments were being worked on and to advise if assistance was still needed as they had a long list of applicants. I pulled out as I had a firm option at that time. There were also a number of mentions of this option in the many other threads on vaccination possibilities 2 1
RAZZELL Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 From what I have heard, they are starting to "run out" of elderly expats (over 60) in the BKK area and obviously they don't want to waste vaccines. The head of AstraZeneca Thailand is on the Board of Directors of the BCC. RAZZ 1

I signed up for vaccine updates from the UK Embassy. The BCC registration site was publicised on there as are other sites where you can register. I suspect, but don't know for sure, that the embassy have used the BCC as a means to get UK expats vaccinated rather than doing it directly themselves. Diplomacy by its very nature is about getting the job done without any unnecessary fuss and bother, not publicly laying the law down to the host country. Mission accomplished if all expats get jabbed with a bona fide vaccine in relatively short order. This seems to be happening. 3 2

I am being vaxed with Pfizer in Pattaya on Monday via the BCC scheme and plenty others will be till 9th Sept. Anutin has said that vaccines are getting out to more remote provinces and I hope this is so. The dark red zones are being prioritised, rightly or wrongly. 1
