Phew, that bought us about a week. Now lads, what are we going to say when some of them do turn up on the 7th and there aren't enough vaccines?

Me first........................

Drone would be better utilised monitoring the land borders.

No one will come....not even Thais.

I feel a vaccination vacation coming on..........................

I am a bit surprised Thailand does not have golf course close to a F1 motor racing circuit.

Buriram has a MOTO GP circuit perhaps it could be upgraded.

Perhaps tag a circuit on to a golf course somewhere close to an international airport - afterall DMK has a golf course between active runways.

OMG.............no camo masks.......................deary me whatever next?

Ohhhh those leaky borders... trying to plug a hole that's been widened over the decades is not going to be easy.

"Where there is a will - there is a way"

Even when the current vaccines and their upgrades are readily available the porous borders will remain. Both sides of a border need to be policed to have effective control.

Illegal crossings are a way of life around the world. However more could be done and should of been done from the time the legal ports of entry were closed. Thailand has the man power and should make better use of technology to plug the holes - not to mention routine changing of the guard to minimise the risk of payoffs by the traffickers in certain areas.

4 Those aged 60+

Does this mean ALL people 60+ or just Thais ?

Thailand has also placed orders for the vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech. Authorities have so far approved the vaccines of Sinovac, AstraZenaca, Johnson & Johnson and Moderna.

Approved for use in Thailand however does that include the approval to import privately like other vaccines & medications?

Some how I think not. 

Why has the Sinopharm vaccine not been approved by Thailand - WHO has approved it for global use.

I have a pink ID card, tax number, social security number and work permit.

Was told by the school this weekend we would be getting the vaccinations for everyone including foreign staff.

Thai teachers went yesterday and foreign teachers were today after spending all yesterday filling in forms.

 

We go today at  7 AM to the site for paper check and all the other checking we are doing, the minute we get there a Thai health official is saying why foreigners here, not for foreigners.

 

The Thai teacher explained to him it was agreed for us to get the vaccine as we work with the students, but he was still not enough for Thai so why foreigners get the vaccine.

 

He went and rang his boss who also said NO to foreigners.

After 2 hours waiting and many phone calls we all left after just sitting around and being looked on as a side show by all getting the vaccines and these were many ages not just over 60's.

 

They now said maybe next month or July.

 

So if you have registered good luck if you can get it as here not much chance.

Where is "....here....." ?

Sinovac now approved for 60+ 

 

Where is that stated?

I am not sure about this entire article.............

I am relying on the Thai Gov PR daily broadcast.

You would think the prison population would have herd immunity by now.

Legalize marijuana and pardon and release those in jail for simply enjoying what should be legal in the first place... I bet that would free up at least 50% occupancy right then and there...

Walk in centre in Buriram is up and running several people in my neighbourhood received the first shot. Apparently foreigners can use the centre too (neighbour told me she spotted several farangs in the queue)

Which vaccine is being given?

This part is true.

 

A number of people, mostly elderlies, in our village, have been informed that they will get a shot next week.

 

It seems that it will be the Sinovac.

 

I plan to monitor this operation closely...side effects and all...

I do not believe it has been approved for the over 60 age group.

they want to unload the Astrazenica first

Mmmmm......surely the Sinovac will be first followed by the locally produced AstraZenica......followed by very limited supplies of whatever when it is found Sinovac does not provide the required protection from the variants.
