Pfizer preferred vaccine for Thais: Poll

[webfact]

Picture: Thai Rath

 

A poll conducted by Suan Dusit last week indicates that Thai people have high confidence in vaccines for Covid-19 and trust in their health service's information.

 

The poll asked 2,644 people their views on a variety of vaccination questions, reported Thai Rath.

 

Coming out top with an approval rating of 75.11 % was Pfizer vaccine, with Moderna at 72.14%, Johnson and Johnson 68.52%, AstraZeneca 65.89% and Sputnik at 61.89%. 

 

59.64% were concerned about possible side-effects and 67.74% wanted more explanation.

 

64.39% had decided to be vaccinated.

 

56.49% had already registered for it. 

 

Confidence was highest regarding information from the government via the Ministry of Public Health and local authorities.

 

The results represented high interest in vaccination after the third wave of infections in the country, noted Thai Rath.

Sinovac was what %?

[worgeordie]

But they are more likely to be offered the Chinese one ,

which was not mentioned in the report.

regards Worgeordie

[mtls2005]

Weird that anyone knew anything about Sputnik?

 

Also interesting that this poll was published given the results.

 

Expecting a "Super Poll" where 112% of the people think Sinovac is the best, while only 12% think a Roomba is any good.

Like asking people in North Korea what type of car they prefer

I bet these respondents also would prefer a Mercedes over a Toyota. It doesn't mean they can get one.

Yet we  both  know which one is  actually more reliable,  better  built, and will  last the longest.

I can well and truly see that  happening, they don't  like to  miss  an opportunity to cash in.

[ikke1959]

And Prayuth promotes trust in Sinovac and Astra Zeneca... I think he is missing the feeling with the Thai population... but as foreigners we knew already

[Isaan sailor]

Wait a minute, this is Thailand.  No problem.  They just need to print up 50 million Pfizer labels...

[internationalism]

at some 7.5k per dose and later every 6-12 months, how many families can afford it?

In the usa they have already started vaccinating from 12 yo.

So a family of 4 has to fork out now 60k and within a year another 30k.

How many have that much disposable income?

In a very few companies employers will pay those bills.

Anyway, it's not coming before the 3rd wave is over. Will arrive just before the 4th wave at the end of year

That's not the news from the villages in our Tambon.

Media sponsored polls are not scientifically significant and are primarily marketing tools.

no, that price 7.5k was flying a month ago.

the 3k is for moderna. The government is buying it for $34.

But there would be also cost of insurance added, some 100b.

Since than also Anutin put 12% on any vax from the west

Your Govt already chose what vaccine  they prefer you get inoculated with ,along time a go !
