Covid vaccination priority: Tourism industry will have to wait until there are sufficient doses

A leading figure in the fight against Covid-19 has stated where the priorities lie when it comes to vaccination. 

 

And it is not the tourism industry, at least not yet.

 

Workers in the sector will have to wait their turn behind health care workers, people with chronic illness, the obese and those over 60. 

 

It has also been announced that 10 provinces - including Bangkok, Chonburi and Rayong - will be getting some vaccine early.

But these will be people in the high risk groups, not the tourism sector. 

 

Expats living in Thailand were not mentioned in the latest story from Bangkok Business News though migrant workers got a nod.

 

Dr Sophon Mekthon said that the aim of the vaccination program was to deliver a safe, efficient and quality vaccination to vulnerable groups then get the economy going - in that order.

 

Vaccine was limited so in the first phase health workers with direct contact to Covid patients would be prioritised along with those with chronic illnesses. 

 

Among these were heart and later stage kidney patients, those with cancer undergoing chemotherapy or radiation, diabetics, the over 60s and obese people.

 

This was itemised as those weighing 100 kilos or more and having a BMI of 35. 

 

When the country gets more vaccine then the economy and general society can be innoculated in phase two.

 

This will involve vaccination for health workers behind the front lines then those in the tourism industry.

 

Dr Sophon specifically mentioned hotel employees, those in the entertainment industry, guides, people travelling abroad like pilots and cabin crew, international businessmen, people in the public who travel, embassy staff, officials who need to travel and then workers in industry.

 

In the first phase of vaccination from now until April ten provinces will be prioritised with 2 million doses - enough for two shots each for just one million people. 

 

The provinces and the number of nursing and ER locations each will have to deliver the vaccine in brackets are as follows: 

 

Samut Sakhon (10 locations)
Bangkok (62)
Samut Prakan (30)
Nonthaburi (21)
Pathum Thani (22)
Rayong (13)
Chonburi (32)
Chanthaburi (14)
Trat (8) and 
Tak (11).

 

Each of these will be allocated a proportion of the two million doses with Bangkok and Samut Sakhon getting by far the lion's share.

 

For example Bangkok will get 800,000, Samut Sakhon 820,000, Chonburi 28,000 and Rayong just 18,000. 

 

In each of the ten areas the number of people in each vulnerable group has also been itemised so that for example in Bangkok 32,000 health care workers and 8,000 who have close contact with the sick will get a jab along with 100,000 each of the chronically sick and over 60s and the general public and workers 160,000.  

 

The 14,000 people in Chonburi - that includes Pattaya - who will get the 28,000 initial doses will be just 10,000 medical personnel and 4,000 who come into close contact with the sick. 

 

The figures seemed to indicate that except in Bangkok, Samut Sakhon and Tak in Thailand's north west, the aging population and the chronically sick would have to wait behind medical staff and those with close contact with the sick until they could get a jab when more vaccine becomes available.

They can forget about tourism .

There is higher agenda for humanity .

<deleted>.

Whole world has infected brain with fear .

The best weapon against humanity ...

stupid humanity.

Second half of the year is summer in Europe hence who cares about Thailand .

If they give up with this quarantine now then many people instead going to Tanzania and Zanzibar would go there .

I'll wait for Vietnam ...

At least they are stable with decisions.

Main problem with tests everywhere is that WHO finally informing that circles of the test should be lowered to avoid false result but it is ignored in many countries.

Another problem is that nobody knows where tests are produced means which company is preferred by WHO .

Personally I have this problem now when perfectly healthy I was diagnosed with positive result...just because I was tested using test from "Liferiver" company.

The is WHO recommend tests and second generation plus much cheaper where tested again I have negative result on covid....

That's all I can see governments prefer to keep up with expensive tests to gain income and build convenient statistics .

Enough of this crap.

Another country suffered long enough of planned disaster including all this mess in Europe. 

As usual now... who will fix all this mess? 

What us achieved and what disaster was created for Syria and Europe. 

Now is easy to go home... 

At least is better this way. ????

The United States kills far more of its soldiers in training, than actually die in service... far more.

 

so, if you want to introduce a wee amount of logic into it, and stick with the concept that America has lost too many lives (oh... that’s four lives lost in Syria, btw), then, logically, stop training soldiers, as again, that’s when they are dying in real numbers (about 80 last year... 20 times that lost in Syria... damn)

The medical community disagrees with your opinion. And, as should be obvious, it's not just the starting ingredients that matter, but what they become and what elements are created through the heating and vaporization process, since that's what actually goes into people's lungs.

 

Medical community could not heal my copd by 10 years as old smoker. 

I was coughing constantly even when I stopped smoking cigarette for 3 year hence I tried e-cigarettes for 2 months . I dont use them now at all and I stopped coughing after 3 weeks and now gone 3 years and I'm having not a single problem with my breathing mate. 

Hence listen to "big pharma" and watch TV. 

Good luck

Anyone wants to spread bad info about nicotine  better educate yourselves from sources where still honest scientists have something to say. 

Don't mix effect of breathing cigarette smoke containing nicotine with other chemicals with clean nicotine which is used in e-cigarettes. 

A lot of users of e-cigarettes do not use nicotine in the liquid  at all. 

Below ingredients are approved food components. 

............      ............      ..........

E-liquid is the mixture used in vapor products such as e-cigarettes and generally consists of propylene glycol,glycerin, water, nicotine, and flavorings. While the ingredients vary the liquid typically contains 95%propylene glycol and glycerin.

Security has no right to punch any one. 

There is a training how to response in such situations and second security man reacted properly. 

That's international place and no one wants to be punched even if is wrong. 

Same thing happened with education visa.

People was abusing it  .

What the different how they look. 

Tourists are nearly naked on the beach and no one cries. 

I do not care who is saying truth. 

Evidence is clear... 

It is no Self-defense when you kick over and over on the head 10 times someone who is laying on the ground

Stomped on his head 10-15 times...what a simple fist flight isn't enough these days?  How we as a society are becoming so desensitized to brutality. Animals we are.  

You are right. 

To come for vacation with so much anger to massacre someone else head? 

In my generation time we could not  hit anyone laying in the ground not even mention to kick... 

This generation is fed on brutal movies where mercy does not exist. 

We have now zombie nation

How much anger and reason people must have to massacre someone head? 

Isnt example of brutal movies scenes implanted in this savage  young generation without mercy.?? 

You never know what woman is capable  to  do to you. ...

Smoking, drones and there will  be no no for many things follow. 

Freedom goes to rubbish  everywhere in the world. 

Reason for drones???

I bet because of "terrorists "

as usual.... 

So... 

Another country loosing freedom. 

Starts from this to that.... 

Same pattern everywhere.

I'm not smoker.

They all have hidden agenda. 

They learn quickly how to manipulate  system as in Australia  it is epidemic  event.... 

Problem is that any woman can accuse  man without any responsibility but man must prove innocence and pay lawyers fortune which after being  winner never will be compensated.

But one smoker sitting somewhere did the harm? 

Is the restaurant  was 2 square  meter? 

I'm  no smoker, have asthma and  COPD... But I have no problem if people smoke around me until it is at least 20 to 1 it doesn't  bother  me. 

Cars created pollution  are making me dizzy but definitely  not one smoker in the room. 

It can be unpleasant  smell but not reaction you experienced. 

Burning  throat ..???

What kind of food was it.... 

To much chilli.... maybe. 

This days hysteria  is most common reason for many allergies. 

You are lucky that you are not in Australia..... 

I'm  having dual citizenship  and came back here to fix my age pension... 

My past problems with  woman cost me here to loose both of my passports...  arrested And accused of think I did not do it...
