Omicron Will Arrive, Vaccination Urged – Official

There's probably already been a few thousand cases circulate through -
Call to people outside Bangkok: Get vaccinated now!
nattaya09 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
41.7M 2nd doses as of Dec 01. Another 6.8M with single dose. I assume by "2nd dose", they mean fully vaxed. That would be about 60% -
Call to people outside Bangkok: Get vaccinated now!
nattaya09 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The vaccination rates overall have dropped over the last two weeks . They might have all the willing recipients vaxed. 70% is still within range by mid-January though -
I agree with that number (54%). But it's based on the total population of 70 million which includes those under 12 years old as well. My original comment above that you replied to ("..Thailand currently has 77% fully vaxed if you exclude under 12's...") was a response to a comment referencing the population over 12 years old vaxed in Canberra, Australia. As I also mentioned , I should have said 65% as my math was wrong

It seems that once you reach about 70% fully vaxed, you have hit the ceiling of willing participants. The UK is about there and their program has been aggressive for almost a year. Thailand will likely hit that threshold probably around the end of December. Of the remaining 30%, a large number have probably had COVID and never knew it.

It’s expats, not tourists that are visiting Thailand: Business leader
nattaya09 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The Vax program had an abysmal start but they have done well for the last three months. The will be close to 70% fully vaxed by the end of December. That's as far as countries in the west have gotten. After that, the public demand for vaccinations will wane. -

Once the entry requirement is reduced to a passport and proof of vaccination, they might start getting meaningful results -
Number of vaccine doses administered in Thailand exceeds 80 million
nattaya09 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
They won't get a 100% of the population vaxed. Even the UK is at 67% fully vaxed after almost a year of a very aggressive program. Once Thailand gets to 60-70% likely in December, most of the people who want the vaccine will have gotten it. At that point, hopefully the govt will be confident enough to drop all requirements for international entry except vax proof and passport -

They should be at close to 60% by December and 70% by Jan if they keep up the current pace. After that, unvaxed demand will wane -
Chinese tourists to return to Thailand - but not until late 2022
nattaya09 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Maybe this means that ALL obstacles except passport and vax proof will be dropped by next summer -
Anamai Poll finds most Thais are concerned about November 1 reopening
nattaya09 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
"........especially the acceleration of vaccine administration so that each province achieves a 70% coverage....." Most likely they will get to 60% quickly in December and then the curve of willing vaccine recipients will flatten like other places -
Pubs and bars to remain closed in 17 pilot areas after November 1
nattaya09 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
If their current rate of vaccinations continues, they could be close to 60% of the population by Dec 1. Maybe that's a threshold that gives them the confidence to open these venues. It's probably already well past when they can attract any other than the most spontaneus travelers -

I'll see what the rules look like after Christmas before shopping for plane tickets. They aren't there yet
