Oh and Astra Zeneca was developed by a UK company . Full name Astra Zeneca "Oxford" .

AstraZeneca Plc is a combined British-Swedish pharmaceutical company based in Cambridge, England. (Astra AB & Zeneca Plc merged in 1999 to form AstraZeneca Plc). A-Z's Covid Shield vaccine was developed in collaboration with scientists at Oxford University, hence the name "Oxford AstraZeneca" vaccine.

Free doughnuts with every shot, the Thais will flock to the vaccination centres!

And it's technology that's already been proven in the US.

We have many mutant strains.

I think this is the first time that a post on thaivisa.com made me laugh out load.

If Bioscience cannot deliver a few million doses in the next few weeks it will be a national emergency, not an agenda

Many in the village where I live do not want the vaccination! Very poor uptake in this area of Bang Saphan Noi.

My partner said some medics came round the village and she refused what she thought was a vaccine. I think they must have been testing

[poskat]

so the problem isnt the lack of vaccines, its that people are not going to get jabbed?

I've never seen medics going around to people's homes. Is that something limited to rural areas? I doubt they would go around to rich folk's homes, especially not anyone who lives in a large property surrounded by a 2 or 3 m high fence. Also, city folk in general (other than slum dwellers) probably aren't being visited either.

The U.S. was jabbing like mad for about 4 months but the last few weeks seem to have slowed down.  Many apparently don't want it or are undecided.  Others probably don't have a clue or don't know how to register or find a walk-in place.  It's going to be a bit of struggle to get more than 50% fully inoculated I'm afraid.

Farang friends with pink ID cards in the north have managed to register and book appointments for early June. So system appears to be working there. We will hope for a good outcome.
