Hua Hin Forum

Not up to the job....delays.....rushed production. It all doesn't bode well concerning quality.

Go to below in Current Affairs as the story has significant implications for Thailand.

I'm afraid that we're going to see increasing numbers everywhere going forward because of this India variant.

It's not just here in Thailand, but every country far and wide.

I'm hoping for some news on a new additive, so to speak, to existing vaccines that can handle these new variants. I'm thinking now that everyone may have to get vaccinated for a third time, not just a booster to what they already had. Time will tell.

Last I heard, all the main vaccine manufacturers are working on updated vaccines for the new variants.

Although actually, the latest data from Public Health England seems to show that the existing vaccines (at least Pfizer & AstraZeneca) are still highly protective against the Delta variant.

As stated in the article linked to below:

The new data, published as a pre-print, demonstrated that two doses of AZ’s COVID-19 vaccine are 92% effective against hospitalisation caused by the Delta variant, with no deaths observed among vaccinated individuals.
[...]
Meanwhile, the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine was found to be 96% effective against the Delta variant after two doses.

Another day, another link

At least it's positive news this time. I enter Mrs BB's ID Card number into this link, and she will be vaccinated on Tuesday

^^ My wife too. The whole province only got 3000 doses. I had read that 1.6 million were to be delivered, Bangkok getting 600,000, so out of the remaining million PKK gets 3000. Hua Hin got 770! Mass vaccination continues.

Hua Hin Recharge? Not this year!

Open to correction on the numbers.

Time between AZ jabs shortened
The government has abandoned a plan for a 16-week gap between doses of AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine and will opt for a shorter interval of 10 to 12 weeks instead, a senior health official said on Friday.

Authorities had sought to vaccinate more people faster by stretching the gap between shots to 16 weeks, beyond the 12-week maximum approved by the European Medicines Agency.

A 16-week interval has not been tested in human trials.

But Sophon Mekthon, assistant to the public health minister, told Reuters that the communicable disease committee wanted to revert to the previous interval, adding that it could still be extended in future if necessary.

The country started its mass Covid immunisation campaign last week and has administered 7.2 million doses since February.

The campaign has got off to a bumpy start with vaccine quantities falling short of projections, and disputes over allocation.

AstraZeneca has contracted with Siam Bioscience to manufacture the jabs locally, but it has taken the company some time to get up to speed. This is also calling delays delays in shipments to Taiwan, Malaysia and the Philippines.

Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said on Friday that the government would receive 10 million AstraZeneca doses monthly from July until its quota of 61 million doses is met.

Does our highly qualified health minister know something the rest of the world doesn't?

I hope those projections are accurate but bear in mind it comes from Anutin so I'm not holding my breath!

Here is an extract from Hua Hin Hospital's FB page regarding vaccinations on Tuesday 22nd and the other delayed vaccinations that will follow. A translation follows.

Due to the COVID-19 vaccine came later than scheduled therefore asked to postpone the vaccination appointment and will arrange the injections according to the group order as follows

Group 1. People who have an appointment to inject 7-11 June 64

Group 2. Those who have an appointment 5-9 July 64

Group 3. People who have registered but haven't made an appointment yet. or those registered in Dr. Prachuap Ready.

Hua Hin Hospital will gradually arrange vaccinations according to the number of vaccines received.


HHH is currently processing group 1 and probably will be for the next 2 or 3 vaccine deliveries (based on current allocations).

Thanks for that - I hadn't seen it previously. Very helpful. I was wondering whether to go early or late with Mrs BB. That makes it easy - we need to be there between 10 and 12.

Do you know if we have to take anything outside of ID Card please?

The iPhone Mor Prom app was recently upgraded to version 0.3.3. I installed the new version today. (Thanks to Apple or whoever is responsible for making it possible to upgrade apps without having to switch stores.)

Now when I open the new version it's a crapshoot as to whether I'll see my own record or someone else's. For example:
. .
And, no, I am not a young woman with a vaccination appointment in Pattaya.

Doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the security of you personal data, does it?

Don't think so.

Also saw this:

อังคาร 22 มิถุนายน 2564 มีฉีด AstraZeneca รอบ 3 ลงทะเบียนรับบัตรคิวได้ที่ ชั้น 9 อาคารสนับสนุนบริการ พร้อมที่จอดรถ (ตึกส้ม) โรงพยาบาลหัวหิน

The important part here says to register on the 9th floor of the orange building (car park building) to get a queue card.

Thank you.

I've just noticed they have updated the data behind this link for the next round of vaccines also http://www.pcko.moph.go.th/check.html?f ... SL1mbTZ5zw#

The above is taken from here.

There are also suggestions to prepare for vaccination, especially to take drink for the wait before and after getting the shot. 1. On the day before get sufficient rest and drink sufficient water/fluids.
2. No need to desist from drinks, food and regular medicine before going for the shot.
3. Wear appropriate clothing to facilitate the shot in the upper arm.
4. Bring something to drink for the observation period after the shot (30 minutes).
5. Don't forget your id card.
6. If you take warfarin please show the treatment booklet to the official.

All vaccine in this round is AZ.

To avoid crowding register in car park building (orange building) 9th floor, then receive vaccine on 10th floor.

The version on Android is 0.3.4. It seems OK.
