I'm guessing that there is no accessible breakdown of how many of those who became ill were vaccinated.

For many days now, Phuket has recorded no new deaths. Granted that Chonburi has about 4 times the population of Phuket but I wonder if the high levels of vaccination in Phuket are actually having an effect. Since Apr 3 there has been a total of 14 covid deaths recorded.

That's for the total population. Gejohesch's figures are respectively for the entire adult population and those 65 and older.

It is good news but not great news. Curevac, the German pharmaceutical manufactuer and a pioneer in mRNA delivery systems, also had promising early results but ultimately its vaccine wasn't deemed effective enough.

Are you aware that China has donated only 500,000 doses to Thailand? And that with the stipulation that Chinese nationals resident in China get first dibs on it? The USA is donating 2.5 million doses of Pfizer with no strings attached.

The most important fact is how effective is the pfizer vaccine at reducing mortality. The second most important fact is how well does it perform in lessening the severity of symptoms that require hospitalization. You know full well what the facts are.

This is utterly false. In fact, it has been proven to be highly successful in Brazil. Sinovac vaccine restores a Brazilian city to near normal Serrana saw vast improvements: Deaths fell by 95%, hospitalizations by 86% and symptomatic cases by 80%. https://apnews.com/article/caribbean-brazil-coronavirus-pandemic-business-health-20bd94d28ac7b373d7a8f3f9c557e5b6 Like lots of people you seem to have a misunderstanding of what efficacy and effectiveness mean in regards to the Covid vaccine. They are mostly used to describe how well a vaccine works at suppressing any symptoms of Covid-19 no matter how trivial. But not about serious symptoms and mortality. As the study in Serrana showed, it provides very powerful protection against serious symptoms and death. Granted, that this study was done before the advent of the Delta variant in Brazil. No one knows yet the level of protection provided by the Sinovac vaccine. Not epidemiologists, not virologists, and certainly not you. Studies are currently being done to determine its level of effectiveness including how well it reduces the severity of symptoms and the number of deaths.

Thanks for the correction. Here's a link to a website that will show you what vaccines are acceptable for each country. https://visaguide.world/news/vaccine-checker-proof-of-immunity-for-travel/

I know that the office at airport plaza is defunct. But I believe there is another one in addition to the main office on the Lamphun Rd. Does anyone know where it is?
