Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha’s planned injection of AstraZeneca vaccine, scheduled for 7.30am on Sunday, has been postponed indefinitely due to a technical problem

 

He can't be scared of a little <deleted>  surely .. 

And why does it need to be postponed indefinitely if as the reason given is the documentation has gone to S K .. 

If it exists that's a temporary hitch .. 

Sounds more like someone's selling porkies again ..

Postponed indefinitely ....that creates a lot of confidence for the Thai population,

how long would it take them to get the proper letter of certification from AstraZeneca,

never it seems....will they dump the 117,600 doses 

regards Worgeordie

 

It's the wrong way around, as it usually is here.    I doubt that AZ gives a monkeys whether Thailand gets it or not.  If they have already issued a Certificate for the shipment to South Korea,  and been paid, why should they bother about stupid Thai rules that require another. Shrugging shoulders time at AstraZeneca.

I certainly want the vaccine but they all need specific storage and transport requirements.

At this point I do not trust how any of this will be handled here.

Well it was sat on the tarmac being photographed in 37 degree C heat so your guess is as good as mine. ????

It doesn't matter if it's postponed indefinitely, after all he is immortal, isn't he?

Wanna wager that frog he was conversing with wished he would croak ..

What of earth is a "technical problem" with a vaccine? You show up, someone injects you and you leave. Nothing technical about it.

The needle broke... technical problems. Chinese steel

As per the Thai training manual the 7 P's are always missing: Prior Planning & Preparation Prevents a Pi55 Poor Performance........ 

[PETERTHEEATER]

There's  a hole-in-the-wall shop on Khao San Road which can provide the required certification so, no excuse. 

[MuayThaiGuy]

Surprised he didn't just fake it like the rest of the political puppets.

World leaders aren't dumb enough to inject themselves with that.

[sammieuk1]

The man is so toxic even the vaccine doesn't want him ????

I think it is a standby light, like remote control units.

Good to see that he didn't just take a placebo for the benefit of a photo opportunity.. And now the public knows that this vaccine shouldn't be trusted

Make me more thinking at this

He might be worried about the shot containing something else than a shot of vaccine.

...and the Thai vaccine farce continues.

If they'd had the foresight to be part of Covax then they would already be administering hundreds of thousands of shots.

Many of the richer Nations pledged a couple of Days ago, to extend the amount of Money they are giving to the Covax Scheme.

Thailand is way behind the curve on vaccine rollout for their Population

Placing all their hope and trust into one Vaccine option seems to have backfired big time 

[natway09]

To be fair, if they said to me that you can have the vaccine shot but the certification is not in order yet, I might just say, OK, I will come back next month

[ukrules]

It's the same vaccine, if they allow this to go to waste then they should be punished.

[mlmcleod]

I suspect that AZ was trapped by customs!  A minor misspelling of the name can cause the shipment to be rejected!!

[rumak]

UPDATE :   Rumak  has also postponed this JAB  indefinitely .........  until they can catch me and

hold me down !

2 more that refuse to let facts get in the way of their antivax nonsense. 

Many world leaders are taking it publicly first to show how safe these vaccines are.

The public has not been shown that vaccines are unsafe at all. They have been shown how badly the rollout has been planned.

I see 300,000 doses of AZ turned up in Sydney Australia this morning.

"At this point"? 

 

"Thai PM postpones vaccine jab indefinitely due to technical problem"

 

"He (An official, attached to Government House’s spokesman’s office) explained that this particular shipment came from South Korea. Although there is a letter of certification from AstraZeneca, but it was intended for South Korea, it will need a documentation from AstraZeneca specific to Thailand".

 

So surely this is not a technical  problem, but an administrative one?  If they can't even diagnose a problem correctly, what chance have they got of solving it? Once again, a problem with the paperwork - I think that one day Thailand will sink under the weight of all the unnecessary forms (in duplicate and triplicate) that are needed here. 

 

As with everything that involves logistics, Thailand is lacking. And they are experts at the "blame game" - they've had years decades of experience in that. So if anything goes wrong with the storage, handling and transport requirements you can bet your bottom baht that it won't be Thailand's fault!

Which specific storage and transportation requirements particularly, and how exactly will it be handled?
