Bangkok Pattaya Hospital just posted on their Facebook page that they are accepting walk-ins tomorrow (21st Sept) for the Pfizer vaccine (no appointment needed) for foreign residents aged 18+ at Central Festival 

limited to 500 people

I  registered quite a while ago and 4 days ago received an sms to turn up today..................i/m guessing this sms is not an appointment as such but rather an invitation to join the queue at the walk-in?

 

Last walk in i tried a week or so ago i was number 300 in a queue for 200 doses...............so thanks but no thanks............unless someone can tell me those who have sms's are in a separate queue?

 

I/ll wait and pay for the jab at some point.

Thanks....................so is it walk-in first come first served as reported in the news section or sms by appt only?

I could get my @rse down there and find out of course but i suspect it will be queue up first come first served regardless of SMS

Are you sure its Pfizer and not some normal saline solution? No one is able to know ???? and how can you tell the difference between them? 

I would rather have the saline solution so long as i get my Vaccination certificate.

You suspect right. I had an appointment one month back in Chiang Mai but there was also a lot of people who came without an appointment (walk-in). I was not given any priority just because I had an appointment. So you better go and queue up early.

 

They allow walk-in for vulnerable people like 60 years and above, existing medical conditions.

 

If you are 30-40 years old and healthy, then you will probably be turned away during a walk-in.

I'm not an official spokesman for the process, but I'd guess it's a mixture of both; those with the SMS text are sure to get their jab and the remaining vials will be given to the walkins.

What good does this do for me living 8 hours away by car? Hospitals up north here do not have Pfizer. But you can get your fist shot of Sinovac here. Flying to USA next month to get the best vaccine available Moderna. Tired of registering on web sites that never get back to you. I am 64 years old with 40 year old walking into hospitals and getting vaccinated

If you got the text you will get the jab. For walk ins there will be a limited number available given out on a first come first served basis. 

oh so sad ! one more chance that I miss !

According to the image it starts at 1pm today but no doubt the queue will already be big by now

Well the Pfizer vaccinations that were performed around 19th August at both Central Fest. and the BHP were definitely appointments., sent via SMS. Good luck...

And yesterday at Central Festival they were appointments sent via sms rather than walk ins.

Yes, those with SMS went into a separate queue. You missed your appointment.
