Where are you? (in the queue)

13roman58 · Post by **13roman58** » Sat 16 Jan 2021 11:12 am

For the vaccine.
Over 65 years old CITIZENS will be vaccinated after health workers and other key workers.
Where do ex-pats who pay for government health with residency permit go in the queue, probably after the karpaz donkeys.

There won’t be any rush to vaccinate us “money cows”. So keep wearing your masks people, cause god forbid when all the citizens have been vaccinated, and the virus is still among us. We will be blamed for for spreading it around..

Are you sure it is just for citizens? There has been confusion before in the translation from Turkish to English saying citizens, when it means people who live here, as in citizens and residents.

13roman58 · Post by **13roman58** » Sat 16 Jan 2021 1:55 pm

It definitely states CITIZENS .
They have to apply by e-mail.

alphamike · Post by **alphamike** » Sat 16 Jan 2021 2:38 pm

Yes I get that, but not too long ago, there was a thing about free Covid tests for citizens in Girne, and it was actually for all staying here, not just citizens.
I did read that over 65's have to apply by email, but am not in that category yet. However, if I was, I would be applying.

If anyone needs the email address it is Covid.asitshd@gmail

Got if from this article https://www.yeniduzen.com/65-yas-ustune ... 36000h.htm

Well I’m over 65, own my own property, have an email address, telephone number and am a Resident with local health insurance. So will apply and let you now how it goes.

Chriswright03 · Post by **Chriswright03** » Sat 16 Jan 2021 4:14 pm

Copied from the Ex Pats Consultancy Service FB page.

"Expats over 65 with residence permits
If you wish to apply for the vaccine, we would suggest that you register at the e mail address below. The Minister of Health has not made it clear whether or not those with residence permits will be classed as "citizens" and therefore eligible.
If you apply and are rejected, please let us know and we will make a submission free of charge asking why you cannot have it.
Please email the address below with your passport ID , copy of your residence permit, telephone number and address details
covid.asitshd@gmail.com"

Well that should get the data I suppose!

ljarvo · Post by **ljarvo** » Sun 17 Jan 2021 7:58 am

I contacted a clinic on Facebook to see if at some point it will be available to get the vaccine privately and I had this answer:

‘Unfortunately our doctors only answering medical questions, this is rather a government/ ministry related questions.

If you are over 65 and have a residency and health insurance you are eligible to apply for Sinovac vaccine in coming days, however healthcare workers and citizens will be prioritised’

I wouldn’t be surprised though if over the coming weeks it will be available in the private hospitals

alphamike · Post by **alphamike** » Sun 17 Jan 2021 8:56 am

Interesting ljarvo. I can understand healthcare workers being prioritised, but it makes no sense to differentiate between citizens and residents, unless they know something that we don't.

Laura B · Post by **Laura B** » Sun 17 Jan 2021 9:02 am

I too have applied by email so will update as and when I hear anything.

Chriswright03 · Post by **Chriswright03** » Sun 17 Jan 2021 11:17 am

In the past it has been said (can't recall where) that 'Citizens' in reality means people rather than the understanding we have of it. A reply by email from those who have applied will no doubt make it clearer. It is obvious to most people that the need is to vaccinate as many as possible as soon as possible as the virus cannot tell if the person is a citizen or an ex pat.

sophie · Post by **sophie** » Sun 17 Jan 2021 11:35 am

Yes, I have applied, will be interested to see if, and when, I receive a reply.

jayceebee · Post by **jayceebee** » Sun 17 Jan 2021 12:23 pm

I have also applied.

13roman58 · Post by **13roman58** » Sun 17 Jan 2021 1:00 pm

What has everyone actually put in their application please so I can do the same.

Laura B · Post by **Laura B** » Sun 17 Jan 2021 1:44 pm

As they asked, passport copy, resi permit copy, telephone number and address.

alphamike · Post by **alphamike** » Sun 17 Jan 2021 2:14 pm

Thanks Laura B.
For all you ones over 65, apply is my way of thinking. Then the govt/health people have an idea of how many they have to deal with, before they get to dealing with "next on the list of priorities".

Application’s submitted, ready for rejections - lol. Then again, if you don’t ever try.....

alphamike · Post by **alphamike** » Sun 17 Jan 2021 5:47 pm

I don't know why you feel you are going to be rejected Waddo...am sure that you will be in a queue. Is there a sarcasm emoji?

waddo · Post by **waddo** » Sun 17 Jan 2021 6:48 pm

alphamike - if there was such a thing as a sarcasm emoji then almost every ex service persons posts would display it, the military, police and other public services use sarcasm as humour - or at least they did until humour was banned along with free speech - and a defence mechanism as well. The nearest I can get to the elusive emoji is to add - lol - at the end.

To be honest I don’t think we will be rejected but I do feel that we should be placed on a separate list that would be dealt with once all TC citizens who wish to be vaccinated have been dealt with.

waddo · Post by **waddo** » Sun 17 Jan 2021 8:42 pm

Having just viewed the on-line application form for “Citizens” who wish to have the vaccination, as there is no provision for residency or passport information but only a space for Identity Number, I consider it highly likely and right that the Government is looking after its citizens first. The application form can be found at COVIDKTBMO.ORG should you be interested.

sophie · Post by **sophie** » Mon 18 Jan 2021 9:06 am

waddo, the covidktbmo.org gets me nowhere. Nor can I find anywhere were it says they want, copy of passport, residency etc. Maybe I'll have to read C2D in greater details. I just sent basic details to the email address printed in C2D.

sophie · Post by **sophie** » Mon 18 Jan 2021 9:08 am

Sorry Waddo, just realised I used the wrong sort of i.

sophie · Post by **sophie** » Mon 18 Jan 2021 9:14 am

Gave up in the End. Wasn't able to register date of birth. No matter what I tried, the only thing to come up was NaN/NaN/Nan.

waddo · Post by **waddo** » Mon 18 Jan 2021 9:27 am

Sophie, I have just edited my post and changed the address to all capitals! For some reason it will not work by just taping on the link in the post. To get to the online form just put the URL into your browser search in capitals and hit enter - it should then take you straight to the on line form. Of course, unless you have an ID number it is of no use anyway - lol. You never know, the powers may change it yet!

Chriswright03 · Post by **Chriswright03** » Mon 18 Jan 2021 9:42 am

For some reason I have been able to fill in the online form.
Accepted straight away and even asked if I wanted to apply for someone else.

Hair Cut · Post by **Hair Cut** » Mon 18 Jan 2021 11:24 am

It says that Sinovac is only 50.38% effective. If in the future you want to travel or could travel would it be accepted by the country you are travelling to as acceptable?

13roman58 · Post by **13roman58** » Mon 18 Jan 2021 11:32 am

The data was taken when the stage 3 numbers where used from the stats where the vaccine was given to high risk peaple.
If it was given to medium risk then the figure would increase.

waddo · Post by **waddo** » Mon 18 Jan 2021 11:47 am

13roman58, what did you put in the ID number box please?

My passport number as it is on my residency form.

waddo · Post by **waddo** » Mon 18 Jan 2021 12:06 pm

Thanks for that. Let us know if it proves a success please. We have sent the application via email already and now a bit reluctant to duplicate the effort with an attempt at the online form. I think the Gov will have enough problems sorting it all out anyway. Good luck.

Laura B · Post by **Laura B** » Mon 18 Jan 2021 12:14 pm

Yes my feelings too Waddo. But at least at looks as if the application form is for ''us'' as well. Well done 13roman58. Do let us know if/when you hear anything.

Just submitted it for my husband, the dropdown menu for DOB is hilarious (hemlock for August lol) when it does auto translate. It did put NaN/NaN/NaN in the DOB field when I entered his birth date but that can be deleted and the correct DOB in the format dd/mm/yy was accepted or Turkish can be selected as language if your device does auto translate, as shown in picture below.

sophie · Post by **sophie** » Mon 18 Jan 2021 3:42 pm

Thanks, will have another go then. Have you checked out the some of the other translations for months etc. They are so funny, although Hemlock is priceless isn't it? If they take eldest first rather than alphabetical then at least one of us will be doing well. Could just as well be the towns or which Mayors vote for which party, who knows?

Mr Mac · Post by **Mr Mac** » Mon 18 Jan 2021 4:09 pm

Ha Sophie did you see the place you live ‘Scaffold’??? and I had to complete the form via the Turkish link because the English one had missed of the month of December, which is both our birthdays!!
