Popular Post rooster59 Posted February 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2021 Ready for your COVID-19 jab? Thailand’s inoculation plan explained Thailand’s COVID-19 inoculation programme will likely kick off on Sunday, with top government figures receiving the first jabs to boost public confidence. The vaccine brings hope that the country’s year-long virus nightmare may soon be over. If the vaccine rollout proves a success, the government will regain public faith, the economy will rebound, and life will finally – albeit slowly – get back to normal. Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha is due to be the first person in Thailand to get a COVID-19 shot, with Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul next in queue. They will receive their jabs at Nonthaburi’s Bamrasnadura Infectious Disease Institute, which has laid down a model vaccination procedure for other medical facilities to adopt.

Thailand was placed 4th in the world for its handling of Covid 19 and when one considers that 6 of the top 10 are island nations with no pesky land borders, that is a very credible performance indeed. Of course the country is going to lag behind the developed countries in its vaccination program. It lacks the infrastructure and experience to come up with its own vaccine so it has no choice but to rely on others. But I'm very confident that once the programme gets rolling, it will be handled as professionally and efficiently as has the irradiation programme been to date. And here of course, with so few cases, there isn't the urgency anyway. They can take their time and do it right. I am currently living in rural Thailand, a place which I regard as just about the safest place to be in the world right now. 12 4 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centralized public health systems have a much easier task regarding vaccinations, and the Thai people don't follow the mantra of freedom at any cost~face saving does work in certain instances. Don't forget the denier that was president through most of the pandemic~he said don't worry, and said that if you wear masks, you are not on his side Edited February 27, 2021 by Redline 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I will concede that everyday conversations usually use the words "vaccination" and "inoculation" as interchangeable, unlike those of use that make a medical, scientific or denotative distinction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an example to choose! Ghana Covid cases per million 2,622 Deaths per million 19 Thailand Covid cases per million 370. Deaths per million 1 In other words, if you can't cope with the pandemic, reach for the free vaccines! And that's exactly what Covax is for. To help countries who cannot help themselves.

I'm sure there's a reason but I doubt many of us will have much of a clue about what it is. If you look at infection rates and map them you can see that most of 'mainland' South East Asia has got by without a massive widespread number of infections, this has been very clear and well known to those watching the numbers (everyone) since last summer. The further away from South East Asia you go, the worse the results are. Why is that? There is an answer..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydebolle Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Well, you may opt to to wait and see. The Chinese exported 300 million jabs while, at the same time, imported 100 million jabs from Germany. I - for one - am confused and rather wait for the first results and reports and am willing to put back all activities which are for the vaccinated only. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
