Me and most of my mates got vaccinated yesterday for the first time at no cost . Very smoot and well organed. I am thinking I should express my thanks to somewhere/someone.

Latest Thailand’s position. Spokesman of Thai MFA.  Former Ambassador to Vietnam and Consul-General, Los Angeles. Tweets and retweets are personal.

 

 

This gentleman was the spokesperson for the DCA/MoFA efforts.

 

MoPH obviously involved in the scheduling and administration of vaccinations.

 

As were private hospitals.

 

And maybe, Uncle Sam if you got Pfizer?

 

 

A lot of people involved, all doing their part. And good on folks for making the effort to  seek out vaccinations too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If only Tanee Sangrat were running the country...

crazy or. He does a good job for months? or years? now. Saw him first time in 2020 when Covid started and Richard always posted a summery from his meetings.

Really that one person that cares about us and also takes our questions and tries to get answers. He relies in the end what others tell him, but he seem really to care.

I say it again it took now a bit with the Pfizer rollout, but reading in multiple posts here they now getting these vaccines into the arms at many places. Yes not all worked perfect, but smooth enough for being Thailand.

Yes, agree with all the above. Had my first Pfizer shot (expatvac) in Surin this morning. All good.

 

And good to see the vaxes spreading now steadily through the smaller 'lesser' provinces.

The above said if it wasn't for a mate texting me that the Provincial Health Clinic was taking registrations at the beginning of the week, I would still be waiting, suffice to say I got my 1st dose of Pfizer on Monday thanks to the USA for their donation, as I wouldn't know who to thank in Thailand because no one was beating the drums to let me know.

 

Must be many more still waiting for Expatvac which I think is a flop unless your in the big City or surrounding areas.

All very nice for those who were at the head of the queue, but I would think the gushing thankyou notes would be more appropriately saved until the program has concluded and all who registered had received the service.

There are many thousands waiting for the nod or wondering why they were rejected for piddling reasons.

 

For what? I have not heard a thing living in North Eastern Issaan

I see the Pfizer vaccines are to be used on students between the ages of 12 and 18 . 4 million of them next month.

This is according to the Education minister.

Where are they getting all these Pfizer vaccines from all of a sudden ?

what before " @SangraTanee " because the address is not complete ? 

I have something to ask to this person 

thanks 

me thinks it is far too early to thank expatvac as there are too many expats that registered in early august (including myself) that have not heard of any appointment , let alone got a needle in the arm.

The MFA appear to have done quite well in the big city and surrounding provinces, it was always planned for the Dept. of Health to handle the area's outside.

The Dept. of Health are focused  on the big city and surrounding provinces, to the extent that they have drawn many DoH staff from the "lesser" provinces to the big city, to the detriment of the "lesser" provinces (as well as sending infected people from Bangkok to the "lesser" provinces).

TO:  All

RE: my Pfizer scheduling whining ...

 

I am happy to report that I need not bother all of you again concerning my difficulty getting a Pfizer vaccine appointment in Chiang Mai. Yesterday eve, through the intervention of the expat citizen group assisting the Chiang Mai CPO, I was scheduled for my first Pfizer vaccine shot on September 1. Much public thanks goes to Ben Svasti Thomson and the group!!!

relabeling, or maybe Sinovac is the Thai spelling of Pfizer.

That's his Twitter handle.

 

Ask him there, or DM him there.

I haven't heard Pfizer arriving from any orders that the Thai government have made.

 

If your insinuating that it wasn't Pfizer and they substituted it for something else, anything's possible in Thailand I know, and I did note that Thai's were lining up for their Sinovac and AZ shots as we were leaving.

 

The above said, if they did substitute it with anything else, they wouldn't be asking us to return in 3 weeks, which is when you have to have your 2nd Pfizer dose.

 

Maybe it was water....whatever ????

If you are 60 years old and above, you can do a walk-in. Go to Chiang Mai forum for details.

In which city did you get vaccinated? Not all provinces are smooth sailing

There was a big session done at Central in Korat on Tuesday,although a very cryptic email notification (I thought it a scam/hoax) only came out at 10.30 pm the night before! 

I understand Anutin has a special delivery location for congratulatory garlands of flowers to be sent from grateful recipients.. 

I would think thanking the hospital and staff where you recieved the vaccine 

Would keep most people happy on here

You mentioned you received your first dose.

 

Where was that?

 

I'm registered at both Khon Khaen and Udon Thani and still haven't heard anything.
