snoop1130 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Thailand’s Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) is aiming to administer about 10 million doses of AstraZeneca and Sinovac vaccines in July in provinces which have high infection rates and to complete full inoculation of at least 70% of the population of Phuket, which is set to be the first province to receive fully vaccinated tourists without quarantine from July 1st. CCSA Spokesman Dr. Taweesin Visanuyothin told the media today (Friday) that the CCSA also plans to acquire an additional 50 million doses of vaccine, including 28 million doses of Sinovac and 22 million doses of other makes, for next year, bringing the total of vaccine doses to be procured to 150 million. He said that, under the revised allocation plan for July, Bangkok, which has had the highest daily infection rate for several consecutive weeks, will be allocated about 2.5 million doses.

Popular Post internationalism Posted June 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) so it won't be 10mln of AZ, as always planned and promised, but large part of this would be sinovac, and probably some 1mln sinopharm. some people will be disappointed, some will be bumped for next months Edited June 18, 2021 by internationalism 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post EricTh Posted June 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2021 I thought they have planned this out months ago? Their plans keep on changing so I won't bet on it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soikhaonoiken Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Why July.... Why not June, you keep telling the public that you acquired millions of Doses.... But do they ever arrive in Thailand..... Thought not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtls2005 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Well 10 MM doses of AZ was/is the stated goal for July, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov (maybe 5 MM in Dec?). But they're 2.5 MM in arrears: 3.5 MM (hopefully) in June from 6 MM promised. Not sure they can make up the shortfall in Sinostuff? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a dysfunctional government (central & regional) and civil service in this country. As for the rest, I will wait and see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joinaman Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 so far so good, how many is this out of a possible 136 millions needed ( if 2 shots) for all the population 2023 maybe ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtls2005 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 28 MM doses of Sinovac have been ordered for 2022. Some folks are becoming unusually wealthy. 11 MM doses of Sinovac due over the next three months. Suspect that you can get any vaccine you want here, as long as it is Sinovac. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaan sailor Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 The more SinoVac they pump into Thai arms, the further Thailand will fall behind, when the Delta variant dominates. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So any ideas on % for complete vaccination (2 shots)? I think I read very low percentage compared to the one shot group. ~ 30% ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newnative Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 How many of that 10 million for July is AZ and how many the inferior Sinovac? Not mentioned. Why is it taking until next year to secure vaccines from other makers? Not mentioned. And, of that 50 million due next year, why is only 22 million of that from other makers and 28 million from the inferior Sinovac? Not mentioned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, they can't predict, with any accuracy, which vaccines might get delivered this afternoon. 1 hour ago, Caldera said: Considering that Sinovac seems to be less effective against the Delta variant, buying even more of it next year doesn't sound like a good idea. Yeah, this one seems very suspect. I'm sure no one is skimming off this budget item. 8.1 MM doses of Sinovac was budgeted at 5.059 BILLION baht, so ~ 615 baht/dose. While 26 MM doses of AZ was budgeted at 5.287 BILLION baht. More gravy with Sinovac. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilly07 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 That's still nowhere near the 22750000 per month needed to give 2 jabs to 70pc of the Thai population by the end of October! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superal Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 6 hours ago, Isaan sailor said: The more SinoVac they pump into Thai arms, the further Thailand will fall behind, when the Delta variant dominates. The AZ offers reasonable defence against the Delta virus but Sinovac does not , so as you say what is the point of ordering sinovac . This is an ongoing dilemma because as the virus mutates new vaccines will need to be produced . Already the UK are preparing for a 3rd reconfigured AZ booster jab this autumn . It will be manufactured in a new laboratory based in the Uk and so free from any EU supply interference 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
