It's possible.
The hospital would need to be prepared ahead of time.
However, last time I was at Calmette they told me I needed to wait for the official announcement that would be sent by text message.
I have a problem with that.
On the previous round I received that message AFTER the vaccinations were completed.
I only knew about it from watching this message group since not everyone got the message at the same time.
Forums > Living in Kunming > COVID 19 vaccine for foreigners That article is 2 years old already.
It was an announcement of the first stages of the pandemic.
Nothing at all to do with even the first round of vaccines.
Forums > Living in Kunming > COVID 19 vaccine for foreigners Has there been any word at all about booster shots for foreigners?
Boosters should have been done 6 months after the second dose.
That time passed 2 months ago!
Forums > Living in Kunming > Healthcode QR no longer show booster shot days ou @michael2015
I tried that passport reset method on WeChat.
It took the "correction" to my name so that it matches the passport but still did not update the passport number.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Healthcode QR no longer show booster shot days ou If I check my health code on WeChat it ALWAYS says unvaccinated because WeChat does not allow me to update my passport number.
The health code still shows the old number.
Meanwhile, the scan in AliPay doesn't mention anything about vaccination status.
It used to show a shield but it hasn't for some time.
Chinese college freshmen increasingly unfit
发布者In the past few years there has been an increased reliance on cars and e-bikes. I can see the change in only 5 years. Where people used to walk or take real bicycles they are now reliant on machinery.
In that same 5 years span I've seen a huge increase in the number of fast food outlets around Kunming.
It would appear that China is going the way of North America with poor diets and lack of exercise.
Golden Week: Planes, trains and especially automobiles
发布者The low number of driving related deaths over the week doesn't surprise me. With traffic so congested and moving so slowly (or not at all), it's easy to have a "fender bender" but more difficult to have a fatality.
Traffic in China would move so much more quickly if people would stay in a lane and drive in a straight line instead of going up the road like a snake!
Truncated subway Line 1 to open New Year's Eve
发布者@tallamerican. 4 years to build? Not bad. Up in Toronto they can't even decide what to do in 4 years. As for train service, the liner from Vancouver to Toronto has been know to arrive 23 hours late!
Proposed hotel tax eyes Dianchi rehab
发布者10 Yuan is not a big amount and I would have no problem with it, but Mr Xiao is right, the polluters should be paying - BIG!
Also, is there any guarantee that the tax collected would actually go where it's supposed to, or will it all go to administering the tax collected. I have only Canadian habits to reference on that point, but that's what happens in Canada, eh!
Kunming proposing congestion fee, more public parking
发布者Lack of enforcement of the laws just serve to reinforce people's beliefs that what they are doing is OK. It's made worse by the fact that police and military are exempt from the traffic act and others simply follow their bad example. Last year we actually witnessed a hit and run accident, where a police car sideswiped a bus then promptly left the scene.
At the end of November I made my first ever visit to Hong Kong. What a refreshing change! Drivers followed the rules, as did pedestrians. The only people walking on the don't walk signs were from mainland China. At bus stops, people formed orderly queues as they arrived instead of everyone trying to be first. With strict adherence to the rules the traffic moved so much better!
I also noticed that people in Hong Kong don't use their horns much, as opposed to Kunming where somebody will be honking at 5:00 a.m. when there is only one other vehicle on the road!
