Have you had a vaccine yet?

[cyril sneer]

Just interested to know how many have had it

 

Seems a 50/50 split on those that haven't, and those with at least 1 jab from reading here...

[scubascuba3]

I'm wondering how many have had 3+ yet, it's like a game of poker getting a better hand

[AwwYesNice1]

I've had 3 shots of Primo 1st Grade mRNA vaccines

 

Holla @ Yo Boi 

[Chomper Higgot]

Same here, also have paid for Moderna back in June for October, which I will push back 6-8 months as a booster for next year.

 

For those who haven't planned that far ahead, might be a good idea as I am pretty sure we will all require a booster in 2022, and the way this government has handled things, I won't be relying on them thank you very much as it was the USA that came to the rescue with the Pfizer donation of 150,000 for us expats.

[Surasak]

1st one 21 Aug. Next one 22nd Oct. Both AZ. As 4 MYEgo says, I have Moderna waiting in the wings, which will be called in sometime early next year.

[Saltire]

First jab SV yesterday, AZ in 3 weeks.

 

Got fed up registering everywhere and getting nowhere fast.

 

Not ideal, but age and underlying conditions mean this is better then nothing.

 

Am also considering a booster but not sure when or what.

 

Can you really choose a date for your booked Moderna? Won't they just have a day to invite you?

Just had my 1st shot of Pfizer, 2nd one due 16th September. Text message received yesterday, to go to Central Festival in Pattaya. By the way, I’m also under 60 & no underlying medical conditions ????

[lordblackader]

Would nice to get one but just about impossible in Chiang Mai under 60 without preexisting conditions for being overweight.

as expected they move now to the younger people. If they really kept 150k for expats they should be enough for all registrants (if only under 50k registered)

[BTB1977]

Registered on the government web site. I live in Hua Hin. But the jab is in BKK. Most of everyone one I know is getting it in Hua Hin. Why they booked for BKK I will never know? Will pass on this appointment and try to  register again and hope it is local. If not, up to them. 5555

Actually , the jury are out on the third " booster jab " cos some meds are saying the body will become totally reliant on getting jabs , as opposed to your body being in sync with the vaccine and building up its own immunity . Being debated at the moment in the UK & USA . Also saying that there is a massive need to vaccinate poorer countries that up to now have very few with a single jab . The cliche being 

" Were not safe till were all safe "  

[wwest5829]

Registered for Pfizer vaccine, Aug 2 at expatvac. All documents uploaded without problem, including Medical Certificate listing Cardiovascular disease. American, age 74. Received return email of successful registration ... then nothing. Registered here in Chiang Mai, CMCVR Aug, 23  reply with registration number.  And awaiting scheduling for vaccine.

What's that old saying, waste not want not, suffice to say, I totally agree with what you are saying, however as I have paid for Moderna well in advance before the USA provided us with the Pfizer which I am grateful for, Moderna will become a booster for me, i.e. if the evidence at the time suggests it is warranted, otherwise I will sell it to a family member who won't take Sinovac or AZ, yes we have some Hi So village people here too, it's not just farangs ????

Difficult to get up here in Issan.  Not even the Sinovac which not many Thais want is available.

 

I've booked at 3 different private hospital's but they say there waiting for the government to allocate Pfeizer4and Astra Zeneca.

 

For people in Bangkok, Hua Hin, Chiang Mai, etc there getting Pfeizer and Astra Zeneca already.

 

ISSAN Is left to hang dry.

 

Hard to travel domestically without vaccines with the supposed opening up nextdoor month.

My Bangkok Pattaya Hospital story of 25 August:
 

Just finished with the first jab. The process wasn't the best. I got there 15 minutes early, queued up doing the proper distancing, when three idiots walked up wearing their masks like chin diapers. One asked me "Why you stand so far back?" and I lost it. Pent up anger for idiots wearing their masks like that - I said (just under a yell) "Cuz that's what we're supposed to do, and we wear our masks over our nose!" Then we were given a form with our queue number to fill out and shuffled off to a room where we were all sitting next to each other, waiting for our queue numbers to be called. The hospital staff had to tell those idiots TWICE to put their masks back on properly. They took us in five at a time to get screened, BP taken, then shuffled us off to another room where distancing was better observed. We then waited for the actual jab, and once stuck, taken to the last room for 30 minutes observation. I got there 12:45, out of there at 2:40. Almost two hours.

Next jab is 15 Sept at Central Festival, walk in any time between 9:00-3:00. Yay?

[Heng]

Jab 3 coming up next week.  AZ/Pfizer/Pfizer.  Hoping any kind of side effects will be the super rare positive kind.

If you have registered with Expatvac you may soon get your Pfizer jab too, as me and a good deal of other expats got their shot today at Sapphasit Hospital in UBON. 

Good luck!

I had the Moderna Vaccine in the USA.  The 1st injection on 7 January 2021 and the second on 1 February 2021.  Going back to the USA next month  for medical and dental appointments.  Will probably be gone for 3 to 4 months and if a 3rd injection becomes available from Moderna I will get it.
