snoop1130 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 (Photo by Frederic J. BROWN / AFP) Adults in Thailand, including foreign expats, now have three paths to COVID-19 vaccination, getting a free shot through government schemes, getting a free shot arranged by the private sector, or booking a paid shot at their chosen location. From Tuesday, the COVID-19 Situation Administration Centre (CCSA) authorized other relevant state organizations to work together with the Disease Control Department, the Government Pharmaceutical Organization, the National Vaccine Institute and the Chulabhorn Royal Academy (CRA) to procure/import vaccines. The private sector may join such procurement process. The move came less than two weeks after CRA announced it was importing Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine as an alternative for the public.

Popular Post smutcakes Posted June 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 12, 2021 My vaccine was postponed by the SSO yesterday. Luckily i received confirmation of an appointment on the 9th July at Med Park Hospital. Not sure why people are trying to wait for Moderna, chances are tje Moderna will all be booked up by the politicians, army and assorted Hi So's who have already been double jabbed. They of course will be front of the Moderna queue as well. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanuk711 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) Is it harmful to be Vaxxed twice ? If, at the time only the Chinese is available (which I read is 60% effective) & your in the over 70 bad heart cat etc-- then latter you have privately sourced Moderna, Can you then have that jab as well.

By the time second shot is due, free Pfizer will likely be available at public hospitals, procured by Health Ministry. I think your scenario is quite unlikely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mario666 Posted June 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 12, 2021 It has just been announced under Article 44 (by a Government spokesman) that the Government (Junta) have decreed that it will be illegal for any politician or individual to give false information regarding Vaccine Dates, Times/Appointments, Locations thereof and misleading website or Vaccine registration Apps until further Notice! The spokesman went on to say that Vaccines will be free for everyone by June 32nd! He also said that the time has come to stop Ṭ̄hān h̄ī.....(Pussy Footing) about bars re-opening and suggested that would coincide with the above date!....However, he omitted to say which year! In addition he went on to say that in a move to improve the situation for Bar Owners, Sex-Pats and "Friendly Ladies" (Bar Girls) in Nana Plaza, Soi Cowboy (Bangkok), Bangla Road (Phuket), Walking Street/Soi Buakao (Pattaya) and other seedy joints around the country, that there would be a Trillion Baht Fund set up.......For which he would have sole responsibility the distribution thereof in the very near future! This announcement has been welcomed both by Thais and Expats Farangs) alike! Watch "The Tigger News" for Updates! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks * I guess should ask Sheryl Probably yes. But nobody knows. Bloomberg ran a story yesterday, many pharma guys mix vaccines, (usually with Pfizer as mRNA vaccine). A doctor from Bumrungrad and many doctors in my country recommend it. None of these is specialized in vaccines. It makes a lot of sense from a medical common sense view. Gao <deleted>(George Gao, Chinas top virologist) suggested it. Bahrain and UAE do something similar (Pfizer after Sinopharm). But there are no studies. So we cannot know. It is not recommended in any rich country. Fear of side effects. HK uses Sinovac and Pfizer and discourages mixing.

Thanks * I guess should ask Sheryl My suggestion is don't overthink it. Go for the best available NOW. The Chinese vaccines go a very long way towards preventing death and significantly minimise any chance of hospitalisation. By December you will see a number of booster shots being made available that will complete the protection for 2022. In addition to the European and US vaccine producers the Chinese are well aware of the need to produce a booster. Good luck 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live Udon Thani--and the BKK group say that to register you must also pay now--but they do not feel any private hospitals will have it before October (although some are saying they will) as one of the largest private hospital groups -its not a great option.

Popular Post worldview Posted June 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 12, 2021 What a joke! This action could have / should have been taken months ago - while the government putzed around waiting for SP to get their act together - all of this to protect the local producer of AZ vaccines which promised delivery in April and now it is June and they still are not producing the amounts needed - is anyone surprised?? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And most conventional type of vaccine. Least "experimental". Also vaccination interval short (2 to 4 weeks). I hate the shortage management with AZ 16(!) week interval. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The regime in a single sentence. State organizations need to be "authorized" to do their jobs by a central committee. That said, woud be awesome if one could get on a path, and at least one of the paths lead to a place you could get vaccinated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My GF's company privately acquired vaccines...she was scheduled for Sinovac on Friday via company site but when she got there they told her they acquired Astra-Zeneca instead as their Sino shipment was cancelled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
