Here is the help US citizens got from our embassy    https://th.usembassy.gov/a-message-to-american-citizens-in-thailand-from-charge-daffaires-michael-heath/

Not much there.

  What's the deal with the 20% stipulation on the 1.5 million donated pfeizer vaccines?

Hopefully Anutin hasn't pre sold them on the black market.

This is the first time I've wanted to be French.

Good for them.

Why did Astra zeneca in Europe fail to produce enough doses?

Im talking about Thailand.  Are you in the right forum?

Really? With government provided healthcare you should have already received your services. Quite a significance indeed.

Up here in Sakon Nakhon many teachers, nurses, and doctors haven't received any vaccines.

Government health care or not thered a shortage of vaccines.

When a company in Thailand fails at something it's held up as an indictment of Thai society.

When a European company fails, it's just one of those things.

Oh please!

Such gibberish.

Anyway what a mess this is.

What a nightmare.  I guess you could just drive up to Khao Lak.  Much nicer but nothings really open.

Initially it was supposed to be 10m a month. But these were the figures being put out by Prayut's government. We have no idea what the actual agreement was with AZ, or what the actual capacity of SBS is/was. Prayut was hell-bent on selling an "opening Thailand by October" plan to the Thai public. A sub text was 61m by the end of the year, which also was calculated using the 10m per month schedule. If that's cut in half, it will take an extra 6 months into 2022 to reach that target at 5m a month.

 

That's why the mad scramble to beef up the numbers with Sinopharm, Pfizer and Moderna. Plus, there are others coming on stream.

What a mess.

Nothing to do with Thailands failure.  

But if need to know why not just Google it?

Lunatic.

3 hours of training should straighten him out though.

Thank you for the reply Ubonjoe. He was the supervisor who told me to leave the country and not take advantage of the covid extension. I mean, besides the extension fee, I'm spending around 65-80k monthly, more in some months. Planning to go back home in October but I guess the IO doesn't want us around anymore.

Thats the attitude of immigration since the junta took over.

The lawyers for Astra Zeneca are going to make Thailands generals look like the fools they are.

They can't just change a binding legal contract to suit there needs.  

The biggest problem was relying on one vaccination production facility with no experience in producing vaccines.

The headline is a tad misleading...........in as much it is totally the wrong way around..

I'm trying to understand.  Are they going to deliver the doses in May of 2022?

I don't think they know what they want.

That's what you get when you bet on a one trick pony.

By the time they finally get around to producing any sizeable amount variants will have made Astra Zeneca obsolite like Sinovac is against the Delta variant.

Does anyone know why the Thailand facility is having so many problems?

Rueters said the factory won't answer any questions on its supply problem deepening the mystery.

These pumps are like your bed.  Get a good one. 

I got a Mitsubishi Super Pump because I like a nice shower.  We've got a two story house with 3 full bathrooms.  We're really happy.

I got good deal on Lazada for around 12,000 baht.

I was on six waiting-lists/registrations.
June 12 I took the hint and I booked a ticket to get vaccinated overseas.

Hard if you have a family and young children.

They may close the borders soon as this is getting out of control.

I would fly home if I was single.

I have tried to register for it in Pattaya and failed. They only reserve a tiny supply so far.

 

But don't you get it? October is really too late for high risk people to wait even October is not a solid thing yet. It could be next year.

Its scary.  It should never been like this.

We're lucky we live in a resort style house to wittle the days away in relative comfort.

Have you Tried to register for Moderna?
All the websites crashed for Registration and when they were back online all the allocation was gone in less than 2 Miniutes.

Besides that if you read carefully you will be Signing up for vaccination FROM October TO MAY 2022 EXPECT the latter date.
By the way Pay up front with NO refund and The Hospital reserves the Rite to Cancel it at any time!

If you want the chance of getting Moderna you need to pay up front.

They usually sell out of there allotted amounts within hours and sometimes minutes.

If you're uncomfortable paying up front you won't be getting Moderna.  Thats the way it works.

I know.  And they still haven't ordered it.

No choice up here in Sakon Nakhon.  Teachers, nurses, doctors are still trying to get vaccinated.

With all due respect, less than a third of all Thai citizens have been vaccinated as of yet

Only 4.7% are fully vaccinated.

Unfortunately this includes Sinovac.

My niece who is a bit of a whiz kid on the computer got me my shot Astrazenaca on the 13thJune at Phyathai 2. The next one on 22nd Sept. I hope.????

Good luck!

They definitely have a shortage of Astra Zeneca.

Also had invite from Thonburi for Moderna, why do some people find it so difficult? All you had to do to get an appt on Mor Prom was to spend 10 minutes applying for a tax number first, people preferred to spend hours on here moaning about not being able to get vaccinated instead.

Private hospitas are offering Moderna.  Very limited. Mor Prom app as far as I know wasn't used for Moderna.  I had to book and pay directly to Udon Thani Bangkok Hospital.

People are complaining because vaccines appointments are getting cancelled right and left because there's not enough.

Maybe you were "lucky" and got the useless Sinovac?

What a freaking mess.

I wouldn't believe anything this government say's.

No need to be a genius to figure out who was behind the ban, some people high up there who didn't like the truth to be know...

Don't they have a review process?

Can't find the truth with this government.

Discussed with wife wether we should tell family in Thailand to buy personal supply of Oxygen just in case it is needed in the near future. Decided not to tell them so as not to inflame the supply shortage, but can't believe things have got so bad we even had to think like that

I think a lot of people are thinking the same.  I doubt the government is, useless government.
