Elderly Thais can register for the Pfizer vaccine through the local government vaccination portals set up in their area. Currently, it is primarily administered to elderly individuals and pregnant women beyond 12 weeks gestation. The vaccine selection is not up to the individuals, as they will receive whatever vaccine is available at the time of their appointment. For up-to-date information, checking official sources like the Thai Government Facebook page may be helpful.
I have a Thai lady friend living in BKK. They started giving the vaccines since June (after the most vulnerable got theirs) to people who had registered, starting with the eldest and working downwards. She got her's in the local hospital the first week of this month. She will get her 2nd one after a wait of 11 weeks.
yeah I've received my doses of Pfizer here in Aus. My partner wanted Pfizer as well and I told her it wasnt available in Thailand yet . Now she can wait for it .lol
Pfizer is administered by the Thai government. For now it is only for elderly Thais and women pregnant over 12 weeks. But you do not select the vaccine. You register at whatever portal the Thai government has set up for you area and take whatever vaccine is/are offered at the time you are told to show up.
