The deputy mayor of Pattaya Manote Nongyai told Sophon Cable TV that the authorities in Bang Lamung were ready to vaccinate people from today but they do not have the full promised quota from the government. 

 

Manote was speaking yesterday as he gave a tour of inspection at Muang Pattaya Hospital, one of five main vaccination centers for the much anticipated big rollout today of the Astra Zeneca vaccine for the over 60s and those with 7 underlying health conditions.

He urged the government to send vaccine of any brand so that City Hall and the Bang Lamung Health Authority could do their job.

 

He stressed that Pattaya has 120,000 residents and 200,000 others who live there who need vaccinating in order to get the resort back on its tourism feet again.

He said that the experience of last month in being able to deliver nearly 10,000 jabs a day at five venues showed they were capable, but they needed more supplies.

 

He described Pattaya as a leading tourist destination and a place that should be prioritized for the vaccine rollout.

I would consider that they are residents as well. They won't be driving back to Isaan everyday.

There is a formal residency system in Thailand. If you aren’t registered in Chonburi, the government cannot reach you to participate in the vaccination program when it happens in 2022.

Yes a problem for many. They can only get (free) treatment in the Province of their official (id card or 30 baht card) address.

Pattaya tourism sector should be put ahead of Thailand's elderly, infirm, and those with compromised immune systems.  Tourism is much much much more important than old, useless eaters. 

Tourism before public health is Thailand mantra.

Are you suggesting it's a Thai's fault?  Can't be.  It's the fault of the farang vaccine manufacturing companies.  ????
