According to TAT Newsroom they only managed to give 27,000 jabs yesterday. I guess they are not working so much on a Sunday. Unfortunately CV19 doesn't have days off.. https://www.tatnews.org/2021/06/thailand-covid-19-situation-as-of-7-june-2021-12-30-hrs-2/

I can't tell from the OP if the 140,000+ number is just the morning only, or something more.

 

If it's 140,000+ for the whole day, that's just somewhat higher than what they have been running almost every weekday in recent weeks... Weekend figures always drop off CONSIDERABLY as per your comment above.

 

When I was monitoring the daily developments with vaccinations lately, they were often (but not always) topping 100,000 per day on weekdays...

 

That's what I love about Thai news reporting... information of a sort, but generally totally lacking in any meaningful context.  Add the first dose and second dose totals below in each graphic below, and you'll get their total new doses given for those days in recent weeks.

I get the feeling that they prepared with all bells and whistles for todays numbers and saved all the jabs from previous days for today and it will all gradually reduce now rather than increase

[BostonRob2]

Great start and set to be 500k to a million a day within a week or two. Must be horrific reading for TV's army of keyboard warriors and Thai bashers. I predict they will now take their fury out on Koh Tao or why digital nomads are being favored over poor retirees!

Nah, they were holding back so that they could have a bigger number on the official mass vaccination date

Maybe saving vaccines for today so good figures on first day?

Not all TV commentators are Thai bashers, some of us are realists. I sincerely hope they reach 500000 a day vaccinations, the Thai population deserve that efficiency after the shambles leading up to now.

They will just pivot to something else that fits their narrative that Thais can't do anything right.  I guess it helps them feel better about their own miserable lives.

 

Remember all those predictions the new Sukhumvit tunnel in Pattaya would flood on the first rainy season?  I do.

A bit worrying that they don't know the difference between vaccination and inoculation.

No one was inoculated this morning.

 

[jak2002003]

I thought vulnerable people should not get the vaccine? How come people with respiratory diseases and cancer were getting the jab? 

 

People keep telling me I am selfish it I don't get the jab as I could pass the virus into these vulnerable people.....?

Or maybe it was a translation issue but don't let that get in the way of your Thai bashing.

What makes you think the article was written by a Thai?

But don't let that get in the way of your virtue signalling ????

A vaccination drive that seems to be lost on a narrow windy rural road on a route to no-where.

I hope that they get to to 500,000 a day or more - I am sceptical.

 

As for Koh Tao, or peoples' views on digital nomads, do make sure that those particular bags of chips are not on your shoulder when you present yourself for vaccination - they may get in the way of the needle...

Indeed it would be fun to make a list of all the times they are wrong. Stretch from their Pattaya barstool to Bangkok and back.
