Wouldn't they be purchased on a national level?

- 2 x 300baht x 120,000 = 72,000,000 baht

 

Looks like only 12% will get the jab to me for 8 mill

I wonder if HISOs will get it ahead of LOSOs

Back in April, you may remember, the mayor was obsessed with the notion that it was the filthy farang tourists left in Pattaya who were transmitting the virus, so he came up with his masterplan to cordon off the bright side where all those pesky tourists were stuck (except it turned out to be totally impractical and had to be abandoned). I'm kind of surprised that he hasn't bought an early-stage, experimental, cut-price batch of Sinovac or Sputnik V which he will force all the disease-addled farangs in his glorious burgh to have.

Any mention of which vaccine..... ?

Give it time.

There's a similar thread about BMA (Bangkok Metropolitan Adminstration) buying vaccine for Bangkok residents.

 

Seems the government are letting the local authorities buy their own.

 

I would have thought that a national aquesition scheme would benefit more from the economies of scale, evidently there's a better cut for the local big-wigs with the current idea.

Yes its probably all for the local big wigs taking a good cut. Corruption and Thailand go hand in hand.

 

But I am more worried about the lax attitude Thais have to storing stuff. Maybe rendering some vaccines bad.

Probably the 50% efficacy China one

[scubascuba3]

Until Thailand gets vaccinated the country will remain closed, they can't let vaccinated people in who could still have covid and spread it to people here and repeat the last 9 months

Fumigate that dirty farang.  ????

These guys were around spraying the roads in our village a week ago. They arrived around 5:00 in the afternoon on a cloudless day, so what was the point? The streets had been basking in the full UV rays of the sun all day and any virus that was around would have been fried already. Maybe it's just to make people think that Pattaya City Hall is doing something to protect them, but it's really just a waste of time, money and polluting chemicals.

 I dont mind having this injection  as long as its not the Chinese one, but how do we know which one we are getting?

[Wongkitlo]

Fabulous TV says 3000b for the vaccine. Covid test 3500b  plus. Does anyone else find this crazy?

[Kaoboi Bebobp]

First, realize, none of these can be imported or sold and injected until government approval.

 

There's an independent Thai news organization that today published a long detailed article that laid out the frustrations with the approval process and when the most desirable vaccines might arrive in Thailand. We're talking third quarter at the earliest for those from Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech.

 

First ones likely to get approved are the Chinese ones, then the Siam Bioscience-manufactured AstraZeneca vaccine, which still has to be approved, manufactured in Thailand and finally distributed.  Months away.

 

Quote

”The government’s statements and the slow pace of the FDA means that unless you’re willing to wait until Q3 or Q4 of this year, your only vaccine options will be SinoVacs or Siam Bioscience,” the source said.

 

Unfortunately, I believe I cannot link to this article, but you might Inquire of Google's help.

We'll all be paying for it, so we should be allowed to know which one we are buying.
