Mass vaccination of Thais and foreigners begins in five provinces next month

[AnnieSeek]

When did they secure Johnson and Johnson vaccine? Pretty exciting news if true - it's a one dose vaccine.

Wingathon ..blah blah again ..wish I had quid for every moan on this..site quids in 

[fleccer]

 40% of Thais will be an excellent result, and that they do not break the balls to those who don't want to be vaccinated

70% of 69 million with 2 doses equates to 1 million a day if the September goal is to be met. That and hesitancy to register will make this very highly unlikely to happen.

under 18 years old (roughly 14 million) are not part of the vaccination plan, since there is no safety/efficacy data among that agebgroup. so 70% of 55 million is 39 million over 122 days equates to 300k per day. hesitancy will indeed be crucial, but not before availability.

I wish they would stop reporting the drivel they spew until there is a fixed schedule to work to, according to this Samui wont be able to register until July, I registered yesterday on a government app, now waiting for an appointment ?!?!?!?! typical left hand aint got a clue what the right hand is doing. Just get on with it

So where the hell do those who are 73 with heart problems go to get the vaccine.  How the hell do I know where to go.  this damn government does not give us any information at all.  I am in Ratchaburi so what hospital or place do we go to.  We have no damn information what to do.  They do nothing. at all.  I hate these leaders they do nothing for the people 

are supposed to register in person at a local hospital.

 

Some indication you should do this after 7 June but no harm in trying sooner (and conversely, if no luck oin 7 June then try again a few days to a week later)

An English translation of a Thai language version of a reporter's understanding of verbal statements by Prayut. Not even an official press release. Hopelessly garbled, no sense can be made of it. Taken literally it would seem to imply millions of  Thais who registered on Mor Prom now are cancelled as they are only going to immunize some provinces, not all. I very much doubt this is the case.

 

Morel likely he was talking about the "extra" Sinovac doses and where they will be deployed..and also reporting ideas still in the planning stage, and probably describing them badly, Add to that poor quality/vague reporting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Chiang Mai Bill]

I assume that politicians, high-ranking army and police, and the financially influential will obviously fall into category 2:

 

 

2 Thais working in Covid prevention areas

[Emdog]

"The Thai government has promised millions of doses...."

and my Thai ex promised never to cheat again..

[malibukid]

just make it easier for us to fly home and return once proof of fully vaccinated without quarantine.  does the over 60 crowd include falang? or is it just for Thai nationals.  and ALL Falang. will be at the bottom of the que?

[Chris.B]

3 Those with underlying health conditions

 

4 Those aged 60+

 

5 People in risky jobs such as teacher, public transport drivers and advisors travelling abroad

 

6 Embassy staff members and their families

 

7 Thais in the universal healthcare scheme

 

8 Foreign nationals and migrant workers

 

 

So, if you are a foreigner with underlying health conditions, which is it, no. 3 or no. 8 ?

We've been waiting to do that. Would you care to explain how?

[zyphodb]

So the WHO said children aren't at risk of catching or transmitting this disease, why are Teachers in the "at risk" group? No logic going on here that I can see, surprise, surprise...

If you have a heart problem you will more than likely have a hospital you go to who will have your medical records! That's the place you go! Not rocket science ????

Five provinces will go first in June - Bangkok, Samut Prakan, Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani and Phuket (part of the sandbox foreign travel plan starting in July).

There we go... the first flip-flop.

Nothing for the rest of the country yet.

You are in one of the 55 forgotten provinces the same as I am... Nakhon Pathom

We have to wait, and wait and wait.

[sqwakvfr]

I did not like the response from a major private CNX hospital that I have been going to for years.  I emailed them about getting the Covid 19 Vaccine at this hospital and got this reply:  "use the MORE PROMPT app".  Otherwise they do not have plans to offer the covid 19 vaccine at their hospital. 

 

Also, what can I say about Timelines and Deadlines in LOS?  They are very, very loose and flexible.  July in Chiang Mai could be much later.  I am not waiting until the end of the year.  If one has a better chance of getting vaccinated with Pfizer, Moderna or J&J back home then then it might be worth it.  I have already calculated the cost of going back to Los Angeles to get vaccinated and returning.  I will be probably be outbound after the Tokyo Olympics(let's see if it actually happens??).  .

This so called government have made numerous promises over the last six years, but nothing ever materializes, except more hot air.

So does he expect anybody to believe him this time.

Yes, but it is cool air we need at this time, And make it clean as well for a bonus

It would appear that after reading this article that foreigners are still the last group in the list of 'priority' groups and this means that foreigners who are 60+ or have underlying health conditions are not being treated the same as Thais for receiving a vaccination. So, the program to register foreigners starting on 7 June is just window dressing to make it appear that we will be vaccinated earlier than the previous 'August' registration that was supposed to be done on the smart phone app.

Friday we were told that a nationwide plan would unfold for the whole country including all none-nationals. 

Saturday we're told 5 province only.... then a few more with 55 on hold till god knows when.
