webfact Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Bangkok: BMA could spend up to 10 billion baht to vaccinate 5 million residents Picture Naew Na The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration suggested yesterday that they could spend as much as 10 billion baht on vaccinating 5 million of the capital's residents for Covid-19. Spokesman Pongsakon Kwanmuang said that like the government's vaccination plan, money was no object. It all depends on what vaccine is best. The capital's health teams are busy determining that. He said all Thais would get a vaccination and put the number eligible in Bangkok as 5 million. Funds between 1 billion and ten billion have been earmarked. Health care workers would receive jabs first. He said the Covid situation in Bangkok was improving but was still not safe. There had been 14 cases. 10,090 tests had been carried out. Measures taken like only home eating after 9pm were proving effective. A review of the situation would take place at the end of the month.

The PM has given individual localities the authority to handle it themselves if they so choose. I'll admit that I don't quite understand the reasoning behind that, or whether it means the funding would come from a different source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunPer Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 2 hours ago, Nout said: Production is expedentially increasing and will continue to do so. Today's news says that Pfizer cannot deliver what promised next week, so European orders have ben cut. However, the mentioned small number of countries have ordered vaccines from various manufacturers, also yet not approved ones, and they have a higher number of vaccines in order than population, when including the non-approved vaccines.
