THAILAND (NNT) - Provincial authorities and related agencies are now making final preparations at vaccination centers, ahead of the June 7th national vaccination drive being launched on Monday.

 

Thammasat University yesterday held the opening ceremony of its Rangsit campus vaccination center. The ceremony was presided over by the Minister of Higher Education, Science, Research, and Innovation, Anek Laothamatas.

 

This vaccination center is situated inside the campus’ gymnasium 4 building. Starting this Monday, it will provide COVID-19 jabs to senior citizens and people with certain chronic conditions, namely severe and chronic respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, chronic kidney failure, cerebrovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, and obesity. The center will then offer the jabs to other people after these two priority groups.

 

In Nakhon Pathom, Vice Governor Rattasat Chidchoo has inspected Kasetsat Univesity’s Kamphaeng Saen campus vaccination center, located at the campus’ Convention building.

 

The vaccination center at Kamphaeng Saen has started offering jabs to frontline workers as part of its trial run, and will offer as many as 1,000 jabs a day to the general public from Monday onwards.

 

In Mae Hong Son, the province’s Mae Sariang Hospital has trial run its services at a non-hospital vaccination center on a full scale. With the new system in place, the hospital can now manage 360 vaccine recipients at its non-hospital venue daily, starting with senior citizens and people with chronic diseases, from June 7th.

 

In Nakhon Phanom, Provincial Governor Kraisorn Kongchalad has revealed the province will be receiving 3,600 doses of AstraZeneca vaccine, plus 3,320 doses of Sinovac vaccine ahead of the national vaccination drive starting on Monday.

 

The governor has assured all 2,287 senior citizens and people with chronic diseases who have successfully signed up, that they will receive their jabs between 7-9 June, while the remaining doses will be offered to other population groups based on their risk factors.

All this pomp and circumstance for a carrier bag full of vaccines.????

 

I trust they all went out for a lovely meal afterwards (at one of the governor's restaurants). 

[smedly]

Something missing here, the Monks have not been included. Perhaps on the 7th they will all be invited to join the front of the queue ????????

A lot of low-infection rate provinces only got 3,600 doses of AZ. All hat, no cattle.

 

The focus is on high-infection rate areas, and of course, tourism-related areas.

 

Shame older at-risk Thai folks are left to pound sand, while the sandbox is prepared.

 

I do understand that foreigner's cash money is vital to the economy.

I thought it was just another forum for the usual whinging expats to vent.

If every vaccination centre nationwide open up Monday morning it will take about 15 minutes and all the vaccines will be used up.

Or are only some of the chosen sites going to get supplies while the others are told to wait for Julys out-put.?

Well, they will wait until you are all sitting in serried ranks waiting to be called and then they will lead them past you to a row of comfy chairs at the front, just so that you can feel blessed.

Won't be many Farangs in the queues

You go Private hospital and pay when they receive the vaccine

“The governor has assured all 2,287 senior citizens and people with chronic diseases who have successfullysigned up, that they will receive their jabs between 7-9 June, while the remaining doses will be offered to otherpopulation groups based on their risk factors.“
 

only 2,287 senior citizens and people with chronic diseases? Is this the province with the youngest and healthiest population in Thailand? Or is he talking about one village?

 

have I read something wrong? Can’t get my head around it.

They tend to all be pretty old. Probably are qualified to be at or near the front.

You are wildly exaggerating. It’s 6,920 doses. You are eminently qualified for a job with TAT.

Prior to that vaccine distribution was Top Secret? This means that around 3600 civil servants in the province get lucky.

Mass petri dish vaccines sites,  what a grand Amazing Thailand Idea!

In Alberta, they do this as well at a convention center. Thankfully I get to go to my 

local pharmacy and quietly sit with 5 or 10 people in a large area to wait for my shot.

I believe Udon Thani is also being allocated some 3,000 doses for the whole province  - enough for 0.2% of the population. Mass vaccination indeed.
