Health agency urges people against believing offers of Covid-19 vaccine

By THE NATION

 

 

The Thai Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not provided any certification for the use of Covid-19 vaccines in Thailand and warned people against believing any person or establishment that promises to get them vaccines by reservation.

 

Dr Thares Krainairawiwong, Department of Health Service Support, said that “On December 26, a private hospital in Bangkok announced its offer of Covid-19 vaccines at Bt4,000 per person for the first 1,000 customers who made reservations before January 31,” he said.

 

“Currently the FDA has not permitted any healthcare operator to provide Covid-19 vaccine to patients and such an advertisement by the hospital could be an exaggeration.

 

“The Department has contacted the hospital and ordered them to take down the advertisement,” he added.

 

“We will launch an investigation into the hospital for possible violation of Health Facility Act BE 2541 under Section 38 Paragraph 1, for posting an unauthorised advertisement, and Section 38 Paragraph 2, for providing false or exaggerated information that could lead to misunderstanding about the health facility's operations.”

 

The violator of Paragraph 1 will face a maximum fine of Bt20,000 and an extra Bt10,000 per day until the advertisement is taken down, while the violator of Paragraph 2 will face a similar fine plus a maximum one-year imprisonment.

Gonna have to ask for the return of the money they sent away to a new friend to get customs clearance on 'valuable good' or back from the ponsi scheme to pay for the reservation first

Any opportunity to get a baht.

where is the worldwide vaccine then ????

in Israel more than 500000 got within less than a week the first shoot of the faiser vaccin (also I got it) the second one you get within 3 weeks (for me more 2 weeks) and then you are 95% covered. there is an organized operation and it is free. first was the medical staff and then all the people that are 60 years old and up. within a week it will be opened to all the people that are above 16 years.
