So for those in rural areas that might be worth trying. Just make sure you have a Thai speaker with you. Registerable also using the hotline with Pink ID card.

Jeffr2 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Tried today, calling into the local hospital for an appointment. No luck. But said they'll be ready for expats in June. AZ or Sinovac. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digger70 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Foreigners' vaccination: Mobile app to be available or direct contact with hospitals from June They are a bit Late with this Info.

Stocky Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) 9 hours ago, finnsk said: It seems that Pfizer and Moderna is the best vaccines, with the best technologi and close to no side effects. Not exactly true, both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines also carry a low risk of blood clotting. Pfizer & Moderna has a 4 in 1 million risk, AstraZenica 5 in 1 million. Not especially significant, the press attention is over the top and unfairly directed only at the AZ vaccine.https://www.marketwatch.com/story/blood-clots-as-prevalent-with-pfizer-and-moderna-vaccine-as-with-astrazenecas-report-2021-04-15 In terms of efficacy then certainly the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have a greater efficacy, 95/94% vs 76%, though the AZ vaccine will still keep you out of hospital should you be unlucky enough to still catch it. .

Personally I rather to go with "viral vector" type, a virus that is modified genetically rather than messing my immune system by synthetic RNA that nobody knows what the result will be in long term (since there is no record of long term test).

I guess their lives and others are not worth much to them. Seems sad, cheap and irresponsible. It might seem weak to you but there are those here whose financial situation has been severely impacted by this pandemic and any amount of spending beyond living expenses could be an issue. If the cost of vaccines is so negligible to you perhaps you could offer some help rather than being judgemental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadan Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) How can a top 30 world country drop to top 100 in vaccination speed ? Major reason is to think to know better than others ? Similar to India. Dead wrong statements made by the prime and health minister. In Florida you can get vaccination at any pharmacy or Costco even as a tourist. 7 days home quarantine or a Phuket resort would do but No its back to 14 days… Edited May 10, 2021 by Cadan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is lack of clear direction from government as to whether those foreigners who meet the Phase 2 criteria and have already registered r, due to having an ID number, can be vaccinated. Some hospitals think yes, some think no, and some think yes but not until July or other later date. In some cases local health managers have stepped in and made a decision (may be the case in Samui), in most they seem afraid to do so and are awaiting clarity from central level which may or may not ever arrive.

Popular Post Lokie Posted May 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2021 I just had my 2nd Astra Zeneca shot yesterday (in UK) everyone I know has had the AZ shot bar one lady who had Pfizer (she was a bit unwell with sore arm and flu like symptoms few days after) My dughter a Nurse age 27 had AZ as an NHS frontline worker she was also a little ropey - flu like symptoms few days after thats it... Cant beleive some ofv you comment on this Vacc or that Vacc is the best??? All based on what? A risk of side effects with all Vacs but there is more risk if you contract this Virus for sure... Just get the shot as soon as you can, its really a no brainer for anyone over 50 for goodness sake stop listening to BS! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since hundreds of Thais died in the UK, Europe and the USA I am sure they are grateful to finally be safe. I am certainly grateful that not a single Australian died of covid in Thailand. You can't get better than zero deaths. Thankyou Thailand for the free vaccines and keeping every single Aussie expat and tourist in Thailand alive.
