  1. Dr. Petersen made no clarification. I'd register here, just in case...
  2. THURSDAY 27 MAY AFTERNOON UPDATE I wanted to do a trial run of the call process to find out what information for callers to have ready, but I got busy signals for two hours. However, a friend (non-Spanish-speaking) DID get through and the following is her experience, "It was easy." • Once she got through, the automated system offered six options; not speaking Spanish, she randomly chose 3 and was connected an English-speaking person. • She was asked for full name (Reminder: match your CURP and legal docs and first shot record, if you received), age, date and type of first vaccine • Complete address, cell/home phone contacts Was told that Bienestar will call within two weeks to provide a date and hour. WEDNESDAY 26 MAY POST Jalisco Secretary of Health Dr. Petersen on Wednesday posted a message for all in Jalisco who weren’t physically able to go to a vaccine site. If you’ve been home bound and unable to get your Covid vaccine in Jalisco, here’s the number to call the (federal) Bienestar folks and register: Secretaría del Bienestar teléfono: (33) 3616 6670 calle Lerdo de Tejada 2466, Col. Obrera Centro
  3. Dr. Jorge Arturo Barba Martín. His office is in the medical center at Puerta de Hierro Sur but our first appointment was scheduled at Chapala Med. Traumatología y Ortopedía orthosportgdl@hotmail.com jorgeabarba@yahoo.com cel 33 1410 0920
  4. The last municipal traffic laws for the Municipality of Chapala that I have were updated by Moy in 2019. The copy and paste, below, refers to the wo quetions asked in this thread: what documents are drivers required to present and which towable offenses? You need to have: up-to-date plates, original (or receipt) for current tarjeta de circulación, sticker (now a card) for the plates, insurance coverage in amount by law. Foreign-plated cars can circulate so long a they comply with immigration/importation laws and comply with laws (including current plates and requirements) from their home entity. Within the municipality, a vehicle can be towed for: no current license plates, plates covering other plates, failing to have/display transit requirements in Article 23, wrongly parked or abandoned, public vehicle circulating for private use.
  5. Also, check your Jalisco auto insurance: usually the coverage is collision only, only up to $100K USD. That does not meet the minimum TX limits. You can go to segurogringo.com and up your collision coverage to meet the minimum; very inexpensive and you do it all online. (Of course, you may have a TX agent who will cover your vehicle for the period you are there.)
  6. I messaged Isaac Trejo about this and did not hear back. Alfaro says it is under the umbrella of the Bienestar people, who will be contacting people at some point later in time to do home visits and he didn't get back to me either, nor did the head of IMSS (who did respond to me once, early on.) I'm sure someone, somewhere has the plan but throughout this Covid vaccination process, information and details have been keep close to the vest, rather than share publicly and update regularly as things change, which would have, in my opinion, reduced anxiety and the zillions of individual queries about when, where, who, how, etc. I'll continue to check sources and query people...maybe I'll again get lucky and will post here.
  7. Here's the Walmart Mexico return policy I googled online: 90 days with store receipt or online order number; return made to original form of payment unless indicated otherwise in "exceptions". Devoluciones Walmart en tienda física México Dispone de un plazo de 90 días después de la compra para cambiar o devolver un artículo; proporcione su recibo de la tienda o el número de pedido en Walmart.com y reembolsaremos su compra al modo de pago original, a menos que se indique lo contrario en nuestras excepciones.May 1, 2018
  8. Trejo specifically says to bring your confirmation of first vaccine; I got mine in February yet the expediente link doesn’t register either of my vaccines yet. Bring proof of your shot.
  9. Interim Presidente Municipal just confirmed that the vaccines are on, starting Thursday May 13 and running through next Monday. The Sinovac lots are confirmed. Starting on Thursday: • alpha order by first letter of last name • only second doses of Sinovac • only people who got their first dose in Ajijic or Chapala • we have exact number of doses as first-shot people; no “new” people from other municipios • Parque de la Cristianía in Chapala is the sole location 8 am until daily doses are done—we have 400-600 per day Here’s the alpha schedule. Thursday only (first last name/apellido) A-E Fri only F-L Saturday only M-Q Sunday OFF No vaccinations are planned for Sunday Monday only R-Z You can only go on the day of your last name (apellido paterno); you will be turned away if not on your “name” day. Bring the confirmation of first doses; if you didn’t get it, there will be a location that can look it up for you with your CURP and federal registration. Three documents needed: your CURP, your first-dose confirmation, and your INE/Temporal/Permanente https://www.facebook.com/GobiernoDeChapala/videos/925030804964657
  10. Tomorrow (Tuesday) start for Tlajomulco and El Salto is now confirmed @ 5:30 pm on the governor's official page. Hours are 8-4 or until daily allotment lasts; proof of first vaccine and INE (or Permanente/Temporal) required. (Note: other municipalities also are asking for CURP.)
  11. 4:25 pm TUESDAY, MAY 11. Isaac Trejo’s LIVE update: We are ready but the documents have not arrived. We are in contact with COFEPRIS (the federal health agency) but… crickets. As of now, no certification has been received, although the vaccine has arrived. Therefore, a start date of tomorrow IS NOT confirmed. He asks for our patience and when he knows, we will know. More to come, when more is known. He asks to stay calm and he will post updates as they happen. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/?v=1130900664078379&ref=notif&notif_id=1620667454802699&notif_t=live_video_explicit 5:09 pm. UPDATE: TENTATIVELY THE NEW START DATE IS STILL WEDNESDAY--NOT TUESDAY--BUT THERE IS NO CONFIRMATION YET. The municipality says the required documentation has not arrived so they cannot start tomorrow as they expected. Trejo apologizes, and says hopefully Wednesday will be the start date, but he will keep us posted. Still (5 pm) no confirmation on a new first day. __________________________________ 12:46 pm And here are the details for Chapala's second Sinovac shots, from Interim President Isaac Trejo’s conference now: • confirmed Parque de la Cristianía as the sole location—Not malecón de Ajijic this time • second dose only, and only those who got their first shot in the municipality of Chapala (not elsewhere for first shot) • alpha order by paternal last name on these days: (NEW days to come) Tuesday: ABCDE Wednesday: FGHIJKL Thursday: MNOPQ Friday: R thru Z • You need 3 items of documentation: copy of CURP, copy of INE/INM permanente/temporal, first shot record/confirmation. (If you didn’t get the record, there will be a location where you can use your CURP, get on line, and get the printout, but that will delay things for you. • No need to get up at the crack of dawn and line up. • Take something to drink, etc... ___________________________________________________________ The Jalisco secretary of health announced 1/2 hour ago that the Chapala second dose of Sinovac for the 60+ crowd starts tomorrow. Still nothing posted on the official Chapala media sites beyond what Interim Presidente Municipal posted on Friday: alpha order, Parque de la Cristianía the sole location for the municipality. I'll update with other details as I see them. And for those 60+ who are awaiting second vaccines in nearby municipalities: • SINOVAC also in Guadalajara, Ocotlán and Ciudad Guzmán • PFIZER in Tlajomulco, El Salto
  12. Actually, I didn't say that. Forward to 1.33 in the audio; Trejo DOES say perhaps as early as Saturday or Sunday. "...puede ser el sábado, o domingo...."
  13. What happened with some regularity at the registrar tables wass that the names on the comprobantes were picked up from the person's CURP. There, Betty Lou Smith MAY have been picked up as Betty (Nombre) Lou (Apellido 1) and Smith (Apellido 2). Just review and go when slated.
  14. Isaac Trejo, the interim Presidente Municipal, just did an interview and said the following (I summarize): • He anticipates the second-dose Sinovac for seniors to start here any day. The day the municipality is given the go-ahead is the day vaccinations start. That could be, he says, Saturday, Sunday, Monday… • This round is for second-dose seniors only. If you did not get the first Sinovac shot in this municipality (either in Ajijic or at the Parque de la Cristianía in Chapala) you aren’t eligible for this round. • This round will only be at Parque de la Cristianía. (Not, I guess, at the Malecón in Ajijic) • This round will be alpha order only; the last name order will be followed. Here's the link to the interview I watched this afternoon: https://www.facebook.com/lavozdelariberadechapala/videos/746512745985042 ------------------------------------------- As y’all know, things change quickly and it doesn’t mean that they won’t make changes, as they have in the previous round; however, for now, please plan on having almost no notice to be ready to get thyself to the Parque de la Cristianía on the day your last name is scheduled. Also, bring all your previous docs as well as the first-round shot confirmation. LOOK AT THAT CONFIRMATION and see what they have as your last name. When I worked registration, many of the Spanish-only registrars were having a difficult time conforming to our single last name. I saw “Betty Lou Smith” being assigned “Lou” as the paternal (first) last name. If that is the case on your document, I’d plan on going on the day assigned to your first last name, then ask about getting your document amended.
  15. Here's an easy way to find vaccine availability in the US based on zip code. I needed to turn my VPN on, as it gives me an error message "Error: unable to load results" if I don't. Plug in your desired zip code, then you can check the boxes to sort by the vaccine you want: Pfizer, Moderna, J&J. The real-time availability (or lack thereof) pops up by address. The website is vaccines.gov
  16. When I applied for citizenship some years ago, at one stage I received from SRE a printout of my and exits they had documented to/from México (for this process, they are only concerned with the two years prior to application.) It included passport records as well as FMM information. Since I had renewed my passport during that time (thank goodness I had the expired passport returned to me and in my possession) and with the help of my calendars and airline documentation, I was able to reconcile the information, then revise the form to complete the attestation. Here is the kicker: I think perhaps only one or two trips were actually fully documented with INM (FMM) and passport stamps: in most cases, either I was missing the passport stamp or the INM, or I was logged out, but not back.... It took several hours to go through the documentation but, yes, they were serious about reconciling so you are not out of the country more than the allowed days. Also, since all of us enter the country before we ever leave, our records show (E) Entrada prior to (S) Salida on our passport; México records in reverse--exit then return. That also helps screw up the documentation and dates, as you'll always have a missing (E) to show how you entered.
  17. That was also me. They just phoned me (Friday 1:40 pm) and said event tomorrow is postponed until further notice.
  18. A private clinic in Nuevo Leon illegally sold 80 vaccines at $1000US per person--and these were deemed to contain distilled water, not the Pfizer vaccine. The BBC news source differs in detail from the local Mexican information released this morning. Purchasing Covid-19 vaccines anywhere in Mexico is currently not legal.
  19. You are correct in that nobody is exempt, and part- and full-time workers are treated equally under the law. However, the calculation is proportional for a part-time worker. And the "holiday bonus" is not a discretionary bonus--the aguinaldo is required by law. Therefore, the math gets a bit complicated. Smartest and safest advice is to go to one of our well-regarded local attorneys to have the calculation confirmed for you and a contract drawn up. You can then use this contract as a template for future workers.
  20. The interim presidente municipal earlier this week petitioned the state to identify the Parque de la Cristianía as the ONLY location for upcoming Covid-19, citing the confusion and disorder at the other locations used for shot 1 of Sinovac. I read the original request, but haven't seen any response from the state authorities.
  21. 1:46 Friday they called from la Barca hospital just now. The event tomorrow is postponed and they don’t have a new date yet. 12:49 pm Thursday As noted below, only Ajijic Radio on-line has posted this information for first-timers for the Covid vaccine BUT I've still not been able to confirm independently. I've been calling the hospital since 8 am and just got a live person who also cannot confirm. She did give me two extensions, and I've left messages and a callback number at each. So, for now, I cannot say with certainty that this event is legit. If you want to verify yourself, the phone number is 393-759-5980. After the recording, dial either of these two extensions-- x 1097 or x 4071. I've left messages and a callback number at each, and will update if I hear anything. For now, there is no confirmation that this is "on" for Saturday. Saturday only in La Barca at regional hospital. Single-shot Cansino (NOTE: I only have seen this posted on the original source, noted below. I've not been able to confirm it, but this was posted late Wednesday Here's the phone number and address, to confirm: Address: Venus 84, Col. Fraccionamiento del Sol, 47910 La Barca, Jal. Phone: 393 759 5980) THURS 8:20 AM I AM TRYING TO VERIFY WITH THE HOSPITAL THAT THIS EVENT IS TAKING PLACE. NOBODY ANSWERS ANY OF THE EXTENSIONS, AND ALL MAILBOXES FULL. I'LL POST ANY UPDATE OR CONFIRMATION. AVISO SOBRE LAS VACUNAS COVID EN LA ZONA De Secretaria de Salud , Sub Sede en la Barca Jalisco A todos los adultos mayores de 60 años que NO HAN SIDO VACUNADOS contra covid19, se estará aplicando la vacúna Cansino (dósis Única). Éste sábado 24 de abril en el Hospital Regional de La Barca; de 8:00 A 4:00 Favor de llevar CURP e INE. Así como su cubre bocas. ***** ÚNICO DIA ***** Favor de Compartir Source: Ajijic Radio-on-Line
  22. Actually, that is incorrect. Statewide, most seniors are awaiting their second shots. It appears that the cry to vaccinate private medical workers and teachers (so some schools can open in person on May 17) has bumped the anticipated schedule. Tonalá announced this afternoon the second-dose Covid-19 vaccines are Tues-Fri of this week; alpha order and only 5 locations (down from the original 11.) http://semanariolaguna.com/57346/?fbclid=IwAR3TqaLWo6XY5T-_tStfRwncsVXc6QuZWjJMU9e3Aem-fIXsx3-4I0cfy-g
  23. Add "Secretaria de Salud Jalisco" to the list above. If you go to each link and click the "Follow" button (and you can go into the settings and raise the viewing priority of each to your liking) you'll get alerted to updates. Outside of FB, El Informador, El Mural, El Financiero papers update federal and state deliveries, which then filter to the local official media sources on FB.
  24. PCR results at the Soriana location are 48-72 hrs, they told me Friday. They also are open 8-1 on Saturdays. Pay first at a register inside Soriana, then take your receipt to the trailer. Antigen test results were received a few hours after the sample, via email. Had name, DOB, QR code etc. on the pdf. $485.00.
