Popular Post webfact Posted May 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2021 Picture: Daily News Comments made by DP and health minister Anutin Charnvirakul suggested that people in Thailand will not be able to choose which Covid-19 vaccine they receive. The minister was speaking to Daily News and other media after meeting reps of Sinopharm the producer of Chinese vaccine. He said that vaccine negotiations with Sinopharm had not yet begun as they had to submit documents to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to satisfy their requirements. He said that Thailand was not blocking any vaccine and was ready to register any that satisfied the requirements. He said that vaccine producers had been hampered in their ability to sell vaccines in Thailand due to demand in the countries where they are produced. He said that people won't be able to choose a vaccine; which one they receive depends of its suitability for different groups of people. Ones tested with children aged 12 plus would be given to children, he said by way of example. Sinovac vaccine, the second dose of which is offered three weeks after the first is being given to frontline medical staff and people like immigration officers, He stressed that all vaccines are safe and can save people equally. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-05-01 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 1 13 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RandolphGB Posted May 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2021 They’ll take the jab made by whichever vaccine company pays the government ministers and officials the most under the table to get the contract. Let nobody kid themselves, there is big money to made first and people’s health, wellbeing and the economy will be considered second. 109 2 6 17 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted May 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2021 Amazing money spent by them and the fear no one will want the vaccines procured to be vaccinated with is my guess for this. 5 minutes ago, webfact said: He said that people won't be able to choose a vaccine; which one they receive depends of its suitability for different groups of people. The government failed to procure more than 1 vaccine and decided to mass produce another one, which many countries do not want anymore.

If they are allowed to purchase them, which I hope they can be given the paperwork needed from this government allowing procurement, I will do the same. They have indicated they will assist but as of now they are still dragging their heels. Edited May 1, 2021 by ThailandRyan 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Thailand is the only country that can not get vaccines because other countries want to have vaccine too??

Popular Post Russell17au Posted May 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2021 Just remember that AstraZenica is being made here in Thailand and will be released in June. I know that there will be a lot of idiotic comments from many idiots on here but just remember that it does not matter where AstraZenica is made it is made following the same formula that is used in every country that makes it. The biggest problem with getting any vaccine is that every country is competing with every other country to get vaccine for their own country and there are not that many companies making the vaccine and having it registered and approved by each individual country for their use. It is easy to sit back and criticize but non of you could do any better. 11 4 12 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4MyEgo Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 3 hours ago, webfact said: He stressed that all vaccines are safe and can save people equally. adjective 1. protected from or not exposed to danger or risk; not likely to be harmed or lost. Personally I would have preferred to him to say, they are as safe as can be, but with all vaccines/drugs there are risks, albeit it minimal, they can still kill you or cause adverse affects. The truth is in the pudding, no scaremongering now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they chose not to so now they are at the back of the queue as the vacc' manufacturers have to fulfill their obligations to the Covax scheme orders first ..
