I'm guessing due to storage requirements, we'll have them offered in Bangkok exclusively at first? I believe they have refrigeration available throughout Thailand... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubbaJohnny Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 (edited) Thai pop c70 million plus c 5 million foreigners plus illegals means need upwards of 150 million double dose if hope to cover the population. I wonder why theydn't allow licensed medicicnes approved by reputable labs be sold?

Me thinks best to get either of the below vaccinations and if I am still alive in a year, get what ever data shows whatever vaccine to be the best. 12 hours ago, webfact said: AstraZeneca and Sinovac Waiting with no vaccination is something I think we cannot risk, some protection is better than no protection and from the latest that I have read and viewed, the numbers that are dying are not related to the vaccine, so far, so good.

For all we know, there might not even be a firm order with agreed upon delivery schedule in place yet. The Hospital up in Sakon Nakhon said they would have the M shots in December ! To be eligible for it ,you have to be a registered member of the Hospital ,cost $4k. The offer expires on the 18th! I'm not sure what happens after the offer date expires ! They don't make any guarantees on procuring it and the 4k is non refundable ! Its the little things in between the lines that makes decision making difficult !

It is a “commercial option.” Which means it will likely only be bought by expats and well-off Thais. The majority of Thais will get Sinovac/AZ or whatever else the Thai government decides to buy for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letseng Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 21 hours ago, tingtong said: "Mr Paiboon insisted that private hospitals will not make a profit from the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine." sounded credible, sort of, until this last sentence. in the age of internet, it takes a few clicks to find the price range of a Moderna ( if any other covid vaccines for that matter). it isn't the mentioned 3500-4000thb per shot. to make profit for private hospitals is ok. to falsify the truth not ok. The click on the internet price doesn't include shipping. Or do you expect Zuellig to pay for it? Plus internet price doesn't include syringe, nurse, admin. In your home country you could have got it for free. Why not fly home? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kynikoi Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 The daily hopium. Some time this year. Unless of course, it's next year. It would appear they both cannot procure the vaccine and judging by recent reports cannot administer it in any relevant numbers. Really feel sorry for healthcare workers most of which have no vaccine and due to economic circumstances are forced to work. Oh...we said 3000 per INJECTION... you'd obviously misunderstood.

Odd when there's a waiting thirsty profitable market in rich farangs with dual pricing Most countries are trying to jab some 70% of the population. Getting above that will be difficult. Not everyone can get a jab, children, etc. This would mean some 100MM doses. Or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all , I am sure the Moderna vaccine is not the only one private hospitals will be getting, I am sure they are negotiating with other manufacturers. But the majority of Thais will get their vaccine from the government run program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
