webfact Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 800,000 Doses of Sinovac Vaccine Are Expected to Arrive on March 25 Paphamon Arayasukawat BANGKOK (NNT) - Another 800,000 doses of Sinovac vaccine for Covid-19 will arrive in Thailand on March 25, and among those to receive the Sinovac jabs will be Cabinet members aged below 60. Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said the charg d’affaires at China’s embassy in Thailand, Yang Xin, had informed him that Chinese authorities have approved and coordinated with the manufacturing company. He said Thailand will continue to issue a letter of intent to seek support for the vaccine from China as a friend. If the vaccine is given, it may state the condition to take care of the Chinese nationals in Thailand. The minister said four pharmaceutical firms have so far applied for approval to distribute Covid-19 vaccines in Thailand. Two of them -- AstraZeneca and Sinovac -- have so far been approved and have already shipped vaccines here. -- © Copyright NNT 2021-03-11 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThailandRyan Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 So for use only on Chinese in the country? or for all. Funny how sometimes there are special conditions inked into an agreement, just saying.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have a few vaccines so long as our Chinese nationals are included. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is smart. Chinese nationals in Thailand are massively more likely (than random Thai citizens) to visit China in the coming years. Gifting vaccines to nearby countries is always about reducing the overall risk to the motherland. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They understand better than most. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then let Sputnik reign down for all of the Russian expats, then the US vaccines for those expats and the same for the EU and UK, in using your view on reducing the overall risk scenario to the Motherland. I think it is more of a "Give our Nationals from China our vaccine:, or we will not supply you with anymore money, nor continue in our support, and will instead just roll on in and take over your country like we are doing for the other Asian nations. But then that is just my view on it. Edited March 11, 2021 by ThailandRyan 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect their more immediate worry, right now, is that the South East nations so popular with Chinese long-stay tourists have all hidden their actual infection levels from the start and are raging reservoirs for the virus. The last thing China wants to deal with is a continual flow of infected citizens bringing it back home. Their longer-term plans for regional domination will resume once they have dealt with their current mess. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Captain_Bob Posted March 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2021 Pass... No Sinovac no thanks. Let the others get their 52% efficacy jab and pretend to be immune. Will wait for the real deal, AZ,Pfizer,Moderna,Johnson. Definitely worth waiting/paying for. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cake Monster Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Apparently, there were several other " requests " made of Thailand as a friend to the Chinese at this meeting between Anutin and Xin. Of course, there were not so many positives to come from this meeting for Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be worse, Canada had a deal to order the equivalent of 5 doses per person. Somehow an incompetent managed to not actually order it. So Canada is scrambling to find doses anywhere they can.
