Methinks someone in the ministry is lying through their teeth, there are not even enough supplies for third booster shots where we are in the boonies.
Bang Saphan hospital is doing Pfizer this morning. You've still got 30 minutes to get there. Image

Its not for me - and there are very limited numbers. They had none last week for the over 70s, but Songkran may have had something to do with that.

They advertised walk-in for Wednesday the 12th April for shot 1, 2, 3, 4, including for old people. Did they turn people away?

It doesn't really matter what you're reading on some website and using to try and prove me wrong for whatever reason. People were turned away and told "mai mee" when going for their boosters here last week - this is what was actually happening on the ground at the time.

Singapore aims to remove all tests for vaccinated visitors soon

https://www.bangkokpost.com/travel/2297 ... itors-soon

Singapore targets to remove all Covid-19 tests for fully-vaccinated visitors “very soon,” possibly in the next few weeks, Keith Tan, chief executive of the nation’s tourism board, said in a forum in Manila Tuesday.

The city-state has already dropped most restrictions for inoculated travellers, and people can now arrive at Changi airport without having to quarantine or test on arrival. Visitors still have to do a test before entering the country.

Singapore would join a growing list of countries including the UK, Ireland, Norway and Jordan that have scrapped tests for arriving travellers. According to travel-booking site Kayak.com, more than 30 countries worldwide currently have no Covid-19 restrictions for most visitors. Some 158 have some requirements in place, while 36 nations are effectively closed, the site says.

Not trying to prove you wrong. Sorry if you thought so. Just curious as there seems more than enough vaccine here in HH. The website is FB page of Bang Saphan hospital. Maybe they are short of vaccine and that's why sessions are only 2 hours. Hope complaints are going in to provincial public health. Done!
