[TaaSaparot 869]

Reports in the Thai press that City Hall plans to purchase vaccines for Pattaya Residents with a budget of 8,000,000 baht.

 

They believe there is 120,000 residents who will need two vaccinations at 300 baht per jab.

Wouldn't they be purchased on a national level?

- 2 x 300baht x 120,000 = 72,000,000 baht

 

Looks like only 12% will get the jab to me for 8 mill

Back in April, you may remember, the mayor was obsessed with the notion that it was the filthy farang tourists left in Pattaya who were transmitting the virus, so he came up with his masterplan to cordon off the bright side where all those pesky tourists were stuck (except it turned out to be totally impractical and had to be abandoned). I'm kind of surprised that he hasn't bought an early-stage, experimental, cut-price batch of Sinovac or Sputnik V which he will force all the disease-addled farangs in his glorious burgh to have.

There's a similar thread about BMA (Bangkok Metropolitan Adminstration) buying vaccine for Bangkok residents.

 

Seems the government are letting the local authorities buy their own.

 

I would have thought that a national aquesition scheme would benefit more from the economies of scale, evidently there's a better cut for the local big-wigs with the current idea.

Yes its probably all for the local big wigs taking a good cut. Corruption and Thailand go hand in hand.

 

But I am more worried about the lax attitude Thais have to storing stuff. Maybe rendering some vaccines bad.

Probably the 50% efficacy China one

Until Thailand gets vaccinated the country will remain closed, they can't let vaccinated people in who could still have covid and spread it to people here and repeat the last 9 months
