Popular Post webfact Posted May 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2021 By Paphamon Arayasukawat BANGKOK (NNT) - The Public Health Ministry aims to get around 70% of Bangkok’s residents, or about 5 million people, vaccinated against COVID-19 in two months. Government sub-committee on COVID-19 vaccination management chairman Dr. Sophon Mekthon said the mass vaccination drive is aimed at curbing the serious outbreak in the capital. People aged over 18 are eligible to receive COVID-19 vaccination, if they do not have any medical contraindications. He said the ministry will use both Sinovac and AstraZeneca vaccines during the mass inoculation campaign in Bangkok, adding that an additional 2.5 million doses of the Sinovac jab and 1.7 million doses of the AstraZeneca shot will be delivered to the country this month. Dr. Sophon said the Public Health Ministry plans to use parts of Bang Sue Railway Central Station as a vaccination hub and to administer 100,000 doses per day in Bangkok. The ministry is confident that, from next month, there will be 10 million more doses of COVID-19 vaccines available each month. -- © Copyright NNT 2021-05-12 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post petedk Posted May 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2021 People in power say so much to get all the attention and glory for a few days. Then in a month when nothing happens, all is forgotten. We see this again and again in other matters. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post internationalism Posted May 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2021 so far 500k have registered for a jab in bkk. it was leaked yesterday, that astrazeneca ha production problem and they can do max 3mln in June. The figures will also probably be lower for the next months, below planned 10mln. yes, there are some spare 3mln sinovac, but that's for the whole country 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natway09 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Wake me up when they stop talking about it & the vaccines are actually here. I have no doubt that when available the community has the ability to actually administer these vaccnes in these numbers, they can do things like this very well when push comes to shove 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikke1959 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 2,5 mill Sinovac and 1,7 mill Astra Zenica for 70% of the people in Bangkok that are about 5 million. So the only place that will be vaccinated is Bangkok, because with 4,2 million jabs there is already too less and than there is the rest of the country and our special island Phuket. How do they do the magic??? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 11 Million residents ( more likely about 15 M ) in BKK if you include all Foreign Workers, Expats Etc. 70 % of 15 Million is a total of 11 Million people. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emdog Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 It seems typical of Thai ruling class to only consider Bangkok as Thailand. Nothing exists outside of Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
