Good luck ! You'd think they would wait until they got the approved WHO paperwork to inject other nationalities, but hey ho.

They are not injecting Foreign nationalities, They are injecting foreign nationalities that work there.

I was about to ask a simple question about that

 

what happens to "anyone" living in Phuket that prefers to wait ?

 

will they be removed from the Island and banned ?

 

this would be of special interest to foreigners that live there with their homes there - will they be ejected

Bet they are not ????

In addition what about people who do not work in Phuket but retired there, obviously they do not count at all in all this

Am those who don't have a work permit immune to this virus?  Does the virus know not to infect those who are not working?  How does this virus detect this important differentiation?  I'm intrigued by the medical basis of this decision to only jab those with a work permit....

[ikke1959]

Forgive them Father because they don't know what they are doing. a wise man once said....... The same for the Phuket brigade

I'm just grateful for the way the vaccination drive is handled in Cambodia

 

[crazykopite]

They couldn’t give this vaccine away as first prize in a televised lottery draw nobody wants it and if I’m honest I can’t blame them because I won’t be having a vaccine that has not been approved and is reported to be only 54:% . If it wasn’t good enough for the PM and his cronies then it’s not good enough for me .

How much did this document cost you without the vaccine

 ?

 

[schlog]

Do i get then also gold and cash price from the rawai covid lucky draw? Maybe for 10kg gold i would start to think to give that chinese juice a try.

[SoilSpoil]

From what I've heard from teachers on Phuket is that if you wish to wait for another vaccine, you need to do a weekly PCR test  at your cost.

[MasterBaker]

on one side you invite foreigners to buy property and settle in Phuket, on the other, you just discard anyone who lives there. Surprised?

Vaccine is free for foreigners in Cambodia. Nothing to pay, unlike your criminal mindset which constantly revolves around something illegal, probably a genetic thing. Or acquired.

Just recalled the wise old adage... envy always fuels resentment. And certain characters are the picture-perfect representation of that resentful mentality.

On that basis I guess you must have a terrific watch collection.

You forget that where you live half of the population is massacred the other half, to make heaven on earth. And from your answer you indicate that you are very comfortable where you live among your fellow people.

F that. I can wait!

So those foreigners boasting at being in the front of the queue and having their appointments confirmed might not be so smug now.

Decisions decisions.

That's because there is a lot of misinformation out there. Are you willing to bet your life on misinformation? I not you don't. so rather than relaying on information spread by some with , to ne kind" limited knowledge  on the issue, I suggest you do some research on the subject. 

Your 54% is wrong. and when looking at articles check at dates, this issue is a fast moving one and six month old data is useless. 

 

"China Sinovac Shot Seen Highly Effective in Real World Study "

ndonesia tracked 128,290 health workers in capital city Jakarta from January to March and found that the vaccine protected 98% of them from death and 96% from hospitalization as soon as seven days after the second dose," "

Why buy guinea pigs when you have foreigners.

[rucker4012]

Why vaccinate only working stiffs. Should apply to everyone with a visa.

[Caldera]

Some foreigners asked to be treated equally to Thais when it comes to vaccinations.

 

You got served. ????

as a holder of valid work permit I declare that my doze of Sinovac could be donated to some lucky guy on the retirement visa.

the vaccine protected 98% of them from death
The vaccine protects 98% against DEATH after 2 shots but doesn't protect you against contracting COVID19 so even if you get the jab

you'll be able to spread the disease personally not sure how will that help attract tourism.
The 54% is the percentage Sinovac protects against contracting COVID.
And so how long until they get 2 jabs 2 months ?

Does this mean, that 2% of the 128,290 inoculated health workers died?
