Inoculation of French nationals in Thailand, aged 55 and over, begins today (Wednesday) for two weeks at eight hospitals across the country, according to the French Embassy in Bangkok.

 

The inoculation is taking place at Bangkok Hospital facilities in the capital, Chiang Mai, Hua Hin, Pattaya, Phuket, Khon Kaen, Koh Samui and Udon Thani.

 

Vaccination is only on appointment basis. Registration is available at https://form.jotform.com/211522249844455.

Vaccination is on a voluntary basis and free of charge, as it is being subsidized by the French government, the embassy’s statement reads. The vaccine being administered is Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen.

 

More information can be found on the embassy’s page.

Well, talk about efficiency! It was just talked about yesterday and put in place today. Wondering, I read that they ordered 10,000 doses. If all willing French nationals above 55 get their dose, would it mean they would distribute to younger French people if there are doses left over?

[clivebaxter]

Just the one dose as well, all the other embassy's put to shame, it can be done and the French did it.

[DrJack54]

Amazing. In shock. Well done French Gov.

 

Hope other embassies are embarrassed.

Oz ambassador won't be as busy marking the golf score card.

Bet the AH has had his shots.

Wow. Very fast. Very impressive.

 

From an idea to implementation in what, a week. Mon dieu.

 

Now that's Warp Speed.

 

Congratulations to France.

This is also a big loss of face for the Thai Government, as Thai's residing in western countries are able to get vaccinated quite easily

Fair enough. I was doubting it would be Bangkok.

[Phuketshrew]

To our British Embassy representative (who I know reads these threads and sometimes answers queries):

 

Why can't the British embassy here step up and do the same thing for British nationals that are in vulnerable groups but unable to receive a vaccination?

I look forward to hearing from you.

All the other embassies must be pretty <deleted> about the Frensh... For month we only hear it's not possible, it cannot be done, only the Thai government can import, we want but we cannot.... The truth is simple: They just don't want. Good on you, France! 

[sapson]

Brilliant well done France shows in can be done if envelopes and red tape are bypassed and their is care for your citizens.

 

Uk??......

 

Pinnochio........you could do it for your people 60 million single shot vaccines rolled out inside six weeks then open the country!!

 

 

[VMKW]

Well done France. Compliments!!!! 

 

Vive La France...............Vive la Republique!!!!????

 

Dutch Embassy FAIL.............????

I have read that this vaccine is rather for old ( more than 55 ) , and not for women under 50 years old

not the best, but 65% effective for normal covid and 85 % for serious covid ( hospital etc ... ) 

I am registered at BH in Bangkok, 30 of june ( very easy to register, Thai government should take lessons for their 90 days or Covid registration system )

And is it any wonder that the Father of Boris Johnson has applied for French citizenship. Obviously he undertsands which nation look after their own citizens better.

[sapson]

It seems the thread questioning the support of the British Gov. for their nationals in Thailand has met a Bermuda triangle fate.

Wonder how long it will be before some drone from the Spin Machine pipes up and claims this is all part of the co-ordinated plan and aren't they to be congratulated for arranging it ????  Talk about embarrassing!

 

Hats off to the French Govt on this one.

This is taken from the forum of March this year.

Long term British expats may find themselves having to deal with a British government department with no recourse to an MP to complain to as they have long ceased to be on the electoral register. An MP will not respond to someone who is not his constituent.

To fill this gap a Liberal Democrat Peer has agreed to act on behalf on British people living overseas. There are many issues which people may have no matter how long they have lived abroad. The Peer is-

Every Brit should be bombarding this guy with e-mails

[CrunchWrapSupreme]

Just got an email from the US Embassy this morning. Said sorry, we were not doing any overseas jabs. But we're welcome to hop on a plane and go get jabbed over there.

 

I'm just a teacher, started late this month because of the Covid cases, and thus only half salary. ☹️
