Forums > Living in Kunming > COVID 19 vaccine for foreigners Add to that, after this brief info on the phone, the line apparently went silent. Didn't disconnect, but couldn't hear anything. Could have been some technical issue that my other half couldn't handle.
So today we went to Calmette in person to assert that my shot would not fall short on missing appointment.
The person at service desk reminded again about visa/RP expiration, and after that was cleared, wrote my info on a sheet on which a few other names had already been written, along with date on which I could come get it.
Forums > Living in Kunming > COVID 19 vaccine for foreigners Another possible hurdle - when my wife called, she was told that if the foreigners visa/RP will expire before the second shot is due, they won't give the first one either.
Forums > Living in Kunming > COVID 19 vaccine for foreigners I think they are uncertain of how many foreigners will be needing/qualified/choosing to take the shots, and as long as they are within allocated stock they'd say that.
Forums > Living in Kunming > COVID 19 vaccine for foreigners Does anyone know if the Chinese vaccine has something different between the first/second doses?
Because my understanding has been that at least with the foreign vaccines they are physically the same without any distinction other than availability.
Forums > Living in Kunming > COVID 19 vaccine for foreigners Our block had notifications posted in elevators etc, reminding that those needing the second dose should get it before June 30 and those needing the first dose should get it after July 1.

Posted byIn extreme poverty, people will even limit survival to that of their own person.
This has been reported, for example, from DPRK prison camps with family members turning on each other to survive.
In today's China you cannot make this comparison to DPRK, but China's history has left its marks in people's behavior today.

Posted byIf I interpret Mike correctly, he is referring to general attitude of average Chinese person toward other human beings, nature, and generally everything other than himself and his immediate family.
For long time China was poor country, and it still reflects in many parts of the society. One is, that average Chinese will always put his own survival and benefit first.
