BANGKOK (NNT) - Members of the public who are interested in getting inoculated against Covid-19 will be able to register in early May, ahead of Thailand’s vaccination drive which is set to begin later in June.

 

Deputy Public Health Minister Sathit Pitutecha said registrations will be done on the Mor Prom ("Doctors Ready") app, a new platform that was specifically designed to facilitate the government’s vaccination program.

 

According to the deputy minister, a large batch of Covid-19 vaccines from AstraZeneca is due to arrive in June, which will enable the government to cover a greater subset of the population.

 

He said the timing is not that late especially when compared with other ASEAN nations, adding that the first batch of Covid-19 vaccines supplied by China’s Sinovac was distributed to 13 provinces that the government considers high-risk areas yesterday.

How interesting.  They have an extra special company given sole rights to manufacture AZ, but here is Thailand waiting for imported Covid-19 vaccines from AstraZeneca in June.  In the meantime, the rest of the world is getting vaccinated.

Yeah.  Sole source monopolies are super duper efficient.  I bet as soon as vaccines are no longer being given 'at cost' but instead for profit, said company will be cranking out vaccines with a vengeance.  Little vaccine bottles making "Cha-ching" sounds.

You'll be required to find a source as soon as your 2022 Non-O extension is due (even if the source is charging 5 times the price you'd pay anywhere else in the world).  Heck, Immigration may go as far as to say you must have a specific vaccine manufactured by a specific Thai company - sorta like the Non-OA retirees and their forced Thai-Company-Only insurance.

And you think registering with the app will change that? 

I don't. Organization is not a common skill in The Kingdom.
