Popular Post BestB Posted June 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2021 There are many ways to deliver same message. I do not know if it’s reporters choice of words or actual words of authorities but it sounds as if feeding leftover food to a street dog. final result is the same no matter what words one uses , but I wonder why send the message in this way, not in a more nicer, welcoming way 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post impulse Posted June 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2021 (edited) “We have 29,690 doses of Sinovac remaining from April, and we will provide those doses of vaccine to registered foreigners on June 3 and 4,” he said. “Right now, there are 22,613 migrant workers [believed to be from neighbouring countries] and 5,758 foreigners [usually meaning Westerners] who have been registered, giving a total of 28,317 [foreigners] in total. With a 2 year shelf life, it's hardly the dregs of anything. In any case, if you're in Phuket and want the jab, here's your chance. They have enough for all the registered foreigners, including westerners. Or you can wait for something different. And wait. And wait...

Hmmm, get the first jab ? who knows when the all important second jab will be available ( when the 2nd jab leftover vials are available I would imagine ).

The earlier Thai approval removed the over 60s limit once the PM had avoided Sinovac and got his Az. Sinovac has proven to be reasonably safe and at least somewhat effective. Whilst not my vax of choice it's still far better than nothing! 12 3 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no upper age limit as data suggested it is likely to have a protective effect in older people.

That's okay for Phuket, they get the un-wanted Sinovac... A friend of mine in Khon Kaen sent a message in Line to me yesterday showing a letter that had been posted locally asking for all foreigners to register for vaccinations from June 1st as they will be included in the vaccination programme within the province... I wonder what they will get? As for my province nothing said yet... so I'll wait for all the Sino-whatever to be used up and hopefully get AZ in a month or so, I'm happy to wait for July. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ryane66 Posted June 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2021 I think you can read into this announcement that there are leftover vaccines because ofhesitancy oflocal Thais. Maybe they are worried they will not reach the 70% goal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
