HiHo

I got my first jab yesterday and it was AZ. See you on Nisi beach in June,

HiHo

I had my second dose of coronavirus vaccine booked for the 31st May through the App. The appointment has disappeared with no explanation. The app still records the fact that I have had my first dose. I heard a rumor that they were prioritizing first doses but had expected some level of notification that my second dose appointment was rescheduled.

Likewise. 2nd jab was due for the 20th of May. It's now disappeared from Sehatty. Ditto all my colleagues.

Found out yesterday that another colleague still has his 2nd appointment, but he's over 60 so maybe there's a dividing line.

HiHo

I think your right, a colleague has lost his 2nd appointment and he is over 55 but under 60. So on that basis I'm screwed. Sod Corona my wife is going to kill me if I don't get out of here soon.

Two months ago, my company took us to the vaccination center and we walked in and got our first AZ shot. The vaccination center was empty and we were the only people getting the vaccine.
Now, we have just received a memo saying that vaccinations are mandatory for all employees.

So ignore the memo....... Was it directed at Saudis? I've found quite a few to be reluctant.

It was sent to everyone.
I have had my shots, but many foreigners are reluctant.

HiHo

I'm guessing you work for a Saudi outfit. No International company is going to mandate vaccination out of fear of possible side effects and resulting litigation.

HiHo

By 'foreigners' do you mean A.) Everyone who did not have the good fortune to be born an Englishman. B.) Everyone not indigenous to Saudi Arabia. C.) Third country nationals.
I'm readying a lot of accounts that marginalised groups in society are vaccine hesitant. Which I translated using libralclaptrap.com to mean. Uneducated people are scared of new things. No s**t Sherlock.

Has any anybody under the age of 60 got their second shot yet?
I am stuck on a Work Visit Visa and my Tawalkanna App cannot be updated to show my vaccination status.

A colleague of mine got his second vaccine today in KSA.

HiHo

The app does not allow you to upload a vaccination from outside the kingdom. You need to upload a PDF copy along with a PDF of your passport to the following link. I had one shot and went back GB for the second. If you have had a shot outside the uk you also need to email the proof (screen shot of the app) to you GP. good luck
