I dont see what the hold up is if the vaccines been approved in other countries and put to use . Get it, start giving it to people ! Let the hospitals import it . Stop procrastinating . Stop talking and start taking action. I m very disappointed in the in what could have been done and what has been done .... The hold up is " They dont have ample supplies of the vaccine" All the rest is smoke and mirrors and cover ups.

That may quite rightly be one of the reasons now but the hold up initially was being complacent and slow in ordering supplies, ensuring that one company would supply Thailand with AZ only initially, and no doubt in true Thai tradition government ministers looking at every angle to enrich themselves to the detriment of the real people here which as you say resulted in "smoke and mirrors" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mickmac Posted May 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 11, 2021 3 hours ago, lks7689 said: Comparing Thailand to UK where they have first rights and hoarding supplies of their own vaccine isn't really logical. Even the EU is complaining so. The EU has been complaining non-stop since the UK showed them up for the incompetents that they are. The UK did not have to wait round till 27 countries ratified the vaccine procurement, they just went out and bought what they needed. The EU then cried foul when the UK got the vaccines they had ordered, ordered some 3 months prior to the EU, yet the EU felt that they had the right to jump the queue. So Van der Layen, the failed German armed forces minister, decided to blame everyone else but the real culprits, themselves, for their short comings. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else has been speculation. Hence the mess Thailand and it's people are in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffr2 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I left out the red dots. LOL. They started jabbing people here back in February. The big push begins now. https://www.timeout.com/bangkok/news/covid19-vaccine-012821 The first round of injections will start on or around Feb 14. Frontline medical workers and high-risk citizens will be the first to be inoculated. Here’s a brief: February: First 50,000 doses from AstraZeneca will arrive, followed by 200,000 doses from Sinovac. (These vaccines require two doses per person. March: 800,000 doses from Sinovac and 150,000 doses from AstraZeneca. April: 1,000,000 doses from Sinovac. May: 26 million doses from AstraZeneca-Siam Bioscience bilateral production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody rested on their laurels. It was a calculated risk with profit motive, through the mechanism of having Siam Pharma be the local producer of AstraZenaca, then selling the product to the government of Thailand. If anything, it was a gross overestimation of the competency of local labs/vaccine factories to meet these wild expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here, there are many people in the north or away from cities throughout the country that have no idea about registering or don't care or will not take time to do so. Short of the government here actually getting out into communities throughout the country, I see this plan unfortunately as failing. On 5/4/2021 at 11:09 AM, Kiujunn said: Medconsult, 2600. Google it. Nobody has ever mentioned anything cheaper. I registered yesterday out in the countryside in a very small village because my wife heard the announcement from the village chief on the loudspeaker. So I think this will work as there are good communications in the villages and the word is passing quickly. The nai ampur is saying that all farang will be vaccinated based on age and medical condition. They said work permit and pink Thai ID card are not required to be vaccinated.

But yes, it's very confusing. Hard to know what's going on. Quite, particularly when there are splinter groups. Veeris Ammarapala, IEAT Governor, said that vaccines were one of the keys in driving the industrial sectors out of the Covid-19 crisis. Approximately 1 million people in industrial estates need to be vaccinated against the virus, and half of them have said that they agreed to pay for the vaccine up to 1,000 baht per shot. https://thepattayanews.com/2021/05/10/industrial-estate-authority-of-thailand-agrees-to-set-up-vaccine-center-for-distribution-at-industrial-estates-nationwide/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
