Popular Post snoop1130 Posted June 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2021 The first batch of China’s Sinopharm vaccine of one million doses will arrive in Thailand next Sunday (June 20th), according to Chulabhorn Royal Academy (CRA). Online registration will open next Monday (June 14th) and inoculations are expected to begin in two weeks on June 25th. The academy’s deputy secretary-general, Dr. Santi Srisermphok recently held a meeting with representatives from private hospitals and stressed that those who sign up to be a Sinopharm provider must have the capability to: Administer vaccines according to medical standards Provide care for patients in case of emergency after vaccination Store the vaccines at 2-8oC Set up an IT system, to record the vaccinations, in line with the CRA’s specifications Designate teams with clear responsibility for each task Full Story: https://www.thaipbsworld.com/sinopharm-jabs-to-be-available-in-two-weeks-registration-starts-monday/ -- © Copyright Thai PBS 2021-06-11 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you register at Thonburi Hospital, you get Moderna. Not yet sure who or when would distribute JJ and Pfizer, but that won't be until late in the year. Moderna will be available in October some time. Government vaccine program is free. Chulabhorn charges 888 baht+hospital fees (times 2), I think. Thonburi Hospital (and other private hospitals to follow, apparently), charges 1800 baht+hospital fees (times 2). So while you can't ask for something they don't have, you can choose where you get vaccinated, which then determines by what. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post internationalism Posted June 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2021 registration is only for organisations, not for individuals. I did register with them at the very beginning of their program, around 20.5. Since then they have changed their policy, they won't be vax individuals. sinopharm was approved by WHO several weeks ago, sometimes yet before sinovac. It's more effective, than sinovac, at 78%. So as good as AZ, J&J. Still, a third dose, a booster, is needed after some few months. It's not that effective against mutations. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/health/sinopharm-covid-19-vaccine.html 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clivebaxter Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Already registered for that one weeks back, now that one was a waste of time as well, to add to mor prom and so far thailandunivax. Also, registered with 3 hospitals never heard from again and tried the local moo baan register, not for foreigner there. Outside chance of a jab on Monday- if they have a delivery, but again not sure about foreigner. Could it have been managed any worse? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a better reputation than Sinovac 16 hours ago, scubascuba3 said: What's the advantage of this dodgy one over the other dodgy one?

I am no defender of the Chinese, but what I am not understanding here, if you presently have no inoculation at all or protection against Covid19 serious symptoms such as hospitalization, why not agree to any WHO registered vaccine? Sinovac has an efficacy rating above 50%, and Sinopharm around 70% , Why wouldn't you not accept this as being better than 0%? and get a booster as soon as you can of one of the western vaccines? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone needs to weigh out their own situation and feelings and principles and then go from there. If you feel you are in a hot risky situation and it will alleviate big worry then do what is best for you. For me and my family we are definitely not going there what so ever as we have decided that we can wait no problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you prefer to wait for a better alternative, but if you feel can't wait then you are the one responsible for your health and welfare. Good luck and hope it works out the way you really want it to unfold. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In UAE I joined the phase 3 trial back in August last year along with 30,000 others... Its the default vaccine in the country and is available free to everyone above age of 16. Been approved by WHO. It's deactivated virus technique... Anecdotally across all my friends and colleagues (everyone has had the jab) the main side effect is a day or so or tiredness and nothing else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
