By Thailand and other poorer countries starting their vaccination programs so late they are jeopardizing the speedy recovery of the global economy and of course tourism as we once knew it.

 

Countries eligible for vaccines from the COVAX AMC in the Pacific include Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu, Kiribati, the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the Federated States of Micronesia. Southeast Asian eligible countries are Indonesia, Timor-Leste, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, the Philippines and Vietnam.

 

Thailand is not on the list of eligible countries I wonder why not?

 

 

Thailand is surely not classified as  a "poorer" country....  It has plenty of money - it just chooses to spend it in other ways.

Yes, Bangon, I know someone who’s got billions of dollars, this would be a brilliant example, to put some of that money back into the community
