Srikcir Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 This can be a non-issue if the government places price controls on covid-19 vaccines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Gringo Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 aren't they much more concerned over who gets the monopoly money from the vaccines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shackleton Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Considering the Thai Government is giving the vaccines free to the Thai people What kind of price is the Phuket Tourist board willing to pay so they can procure first for their own people I think the Thai government needs to stop this and control the distribution fairly through out the country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
