@doodoo Thanks for the location. that is where we are heading this week to pick up. didn’t realize it is 10km off the ring road.

@stattointhailand, thanks will give that a try on next trip to town. @parrot, we are on the mix-n-match plan and thinking Pfizer or Moderna would round out well being a third brand and first mRNA. What doesn’t kill ya makes ya stronger and all that. :-) Plan b is we can get either for free at the co...

Upon visiting MOPH Udon which is opened Tues and Thurs mornings for folks to apply for a presumably yellow “Passport Vaccine”, (go early, max 50 people per day and a 14 day wait to receive) we were told there is a way to apply by google form and receive from Rajabaht in only 7 days. They had a QR co...

Has anyone been able to get a 3rd, or booster shot in Udon? Curious what parameters are being followed, 7 disease, old age, etc, like before maybe?

My last round of in person enquiries was focused on “passport vaccine”.

Continued home lockdown saga. On October 4th at 2:30 pm, (oh, not 9 am?) we (pretty much the entire village) are directed to walk to the meeting hall for Covid testing. Me being the troubling making farang, protest that we should not all walk together and meet in the tin roofed villge hall, as we ar...

Covid misinformation, home quarantine, village dictatorship This novel is my Udon Covid lockdown experience in journal format. Feel free to embark or ignore. Mostly venting, but my rose colored glasses have been ripped off and smashed underfoot by the ‘local official’ and volunteers here in the vill...

@runrunshaw My comment was not meant to be critical, although rereading it, could be taken that way. Mostly I was wondering about Pfizer following Sinovac as being uncharted territory. Actually, there has been plenty of talk about medical staff who received 2 Sinovac getting a Pfizer as a booster. T...

i’ve forgotten where those were available. Link? I’ve finally decided to set up a system with 4 cameras which I bought long ago. Looks like one of the 1080p outdoor cameras may have some ailment. Covid related? ;-) The upper left cam was very pink, may be getting better after 2 hours of testing. 6 m...

RIP Fella

I believe that is the only video I hsve ever seen that focussed only on the drummer. Hope people realize how much the drummer of the Stones (and Zeppelin), made the bands special. End of an era!

A farang went to the Udon Health Office today and a sign on the door said they were no longer registering anyone for the Pfizer shot. He went in anyway, and they registered him and gave him an appointment to get the Pfizer jab. I went to the same office early Monday morning and they told me to go t...

Yes, thanks from me as well. Arrived at 13:15 - jabbed at 13:28 - drove off site at 14:00. Perfect organization, appeared to be more staff than patients and extremely friendly, even the sheep musterers doing the 30 min layover had a sense of humour trying to get the geriatric farang sorted. And jus...

@parrot Your time spent on translating and posting updates is appreciated.
Best wishes staying well.

Ban Dung Hospital

Thanks. Guess I really need to get out more... or not, until after this mess.

The Covid-19 Rajabhat walk-in clinic experience. Place - Rajabhat University, Si Suk rd entrance. Hours  - We were told from 8 AM, we arrived at 07:45 the place was already crowded. What you need  -  Passport, a Thai speaker, patience. Time required -  about 90 minutes. The system is well designed,...

I can confirm the 3rd shot Pfizer booster for front liners. Couple of blokes who live in my Moo Baan, and who work at the BD Hospital, had theirs a week ago. Also wondering about the Pfizer vaccines outside of BKK. A friend got his at Med Park after the recent online registration. What is BD hospit...

I would suggest a visit to the large and efficiently run vaccine center at Udon Rajabaht, especially for those over 60 or with any of the 7 recognized conditons. Coming from the south pass the main entrance, go left off the roundabout, and take the next left into the Uni. Covid 19 sign at the corner...

Makes you wonder what frontline covid personal are Since they were suppose to be vaccinated 6 months ago 45 year old nurse in Samut Sakon has died on sunday of covid related illness a week after first sinovac injection Samut Sakon is the province which had the big outbreak early in the year and is ...

Today I received an email from Wattana Hospital, said that if I wanted to have the vaccine with the first one being Sinovac on this Wednesday 21st I can go at 0900. If I cancel the appointment I will have to re-apply. If I had already had the Astraznece I would receive a second one. Any thoughts? N...
