Popular Post webfact Posted May 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2021 Picture: Manager Manager reported that the Camillian Hospital in Bangkok's Thong Lo district opened registration for Moderna vaccine shots on Thursday. They offered two jabs for 3,500 baht advising clients to scan a QR code and transfer money. They would get their jabs in October. This came soon after Moderna was registered by the Thai Food and Drug Administration and Zuellig Pharma Co Ltd stepped in as an agent to supply it. Many people went to the site to register. This was followed by an announcement that the hospital was sorry for a miscommunication and the registration was not open after all. They said they would advise when registration was open via their Facebook, Line or website options. The news comes as state officials and leading doctors in the private sector advise the public not to wait until October if they can access jabs of state promoted Sinovac or Thai produced AstraZeneca vaccines. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-05-15 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post brucegoniners Posted May 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2021 At this point the Thai government and the health department, FDA and other agencies need to speak in one voice. Every day multiple announcements, many that contradict each other. This government is the gang that couldn't shoot straight! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Antonymous Posted May 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2021 Hospitals have been warned that they may not advertise the service until the doses have finally touched down in Thailand. On the one hand this might be seen as a sensible precaution that protects the public (from being disappointed in case there are insufficient quantities of Moderna available in October). On the other hand it helps the Government's case of persuading as many people as possible to get other vaxes now that there are well known vested interests in. They have used the fear factor and that has largely failed. Next there may be a rollout of coercion as practiced in Buriram. Delaying the availability of Moderna is just another method of getting what they want. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, we all know who owns Siam Biotech so a general or two behind the scenes would be par for the course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delaying the availability of Moderna is just another method of getting what they want. The barber who cuts my hair in Phuket was told some time ago that they had to be vaccinated or his business would have to close because he deals with the public. So he registered and got a May date for the jab. Then the Bangkok 3rd wave started to pick up steam and he was told his jab was delayed because the vaccine was needed in Bangkok. learned this over my last three visits and I’ll get an update when I go this pm. I expect he has a new appointment scheduled. but my point is, he had to register or his business would be closed. The burilam coercion type strategy has been around for a while. of course, for the overall population it’s a benefit because more people are vaccinated. Not a great day for civil liberties however. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedrogaz Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) I have registered with the pooyai at my Baan. I don't know if he will forward my info to appropriate authorities, in not I will just wait until the vaccine becomes available in sufficient quantities and has actually arrived in the country. I'm not rushing about like a headless chicken trying to get appointments from clowns. Plus any of these systems like QR codes and the like have almost not chance of working given the IT performance in the rest off government and especially the Immigration department.

rwill Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 There are some oral vaccines in various stages of testing. If one of them gets approved I might have my family try and mail some to me. That might happen sooner than getting vaccinated here, like a year from now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thingamabob Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 While vested interests in Thailand vie to obtain maximum financial benefit from the pandemic I'm afraid the only thing we can do is wait until, eventually, the vaccines become available to us. Sounds like October, and not much to be gained by getting over-exercised in the meantime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
