Covid Vaccination Appointment

[hajo]

Province Phuket
over 70
Retirement Visa
no previous illnesses

I have been trying to get a vaccination appointment for about 1 year.
I registered on all the websites provided.
Never got an appointment.
I wrote to the health department in Phuket by email. No Answer.
can someone help me what else to do?

Go in person to a government hospital to inquire and register.

 

Vachira is best bet but you could try the smaller hosptials (Patong, Talang) if more convenient for you.

 

You should also call or visit the various hospitals you registered with online. Emails, especially in English, tend to go unanswered here.

I walked into the Phuket provincial health department in Phuket town when they were doing walk ins. Not sure if they are still doing them though. But worth visiting to check. I turned up at 0830 and they opened at 0900. After the first jab they gave me a slip to take to vachira for my second jab. Also vachira we’re doing walk ins. Although very busy and and a little confusing. Again get there early maybe 0800, as they issue numbers. I think only 200 for the morning I was there.

if you go to your line app and use the link below

when you go to phuketwin there are some options at the top of the page. All in Thai though so you will need a friendly Thai to translate, unless you are proficient.

Your going to need to phone private hospitals and ask for the international department.

 

You may have to travel a bit.

 

Im finally getting a booster of Moderna next week.

I have to travel from Issan to Bangkok, a 10 hour's.

 

Try Khon Kaen,Bangkok,or Pattaya.

They seem to have vaccines available to anyone occasionally.

 

You'll need to Google private hospitals Thailand.

 

As usual Thailand has dropped the ball, with Anutin the lead Ball dropper.

 

Good luck

I did a similar thing. Registered on all the government and hospital websites and even the British Chamber of Commerce Thailand and got 5 appointments mostly in Bangkok which I avoided but also eventually at Bangkok Pattaya. Got my wife into Siriraj Hospital Siracha. Both had 2 AZ shots and waiting to be called in for Moderna boosters at Bangkok Pattaya
