Picture: Sanook

 

Public health official Kiatphoom Wongrajit was outlining the figures for the national vaccine rollout that started on February 28th and began to gather steam on June 7th.

 

He noted that Thailand was attempting to deliver 100 million doses into the arms of people in Thailand by the end of the year. 

 

Thaivisa did the math - in order to achieve that lofty aim they will have to administer more than 479,000 jabs daily from here on in. 

 

Sanook quoted Kiatphoom as saying that by 18th June, last Friday, 7,483,083 people had been vaccinated in Thailand so far. 

 

That was 5,434,119 first doses and 2,048,964 second doses. 

 

Kiatphoom stressed that all people including those fully vaccinated should continue to practice mask wearing and social distancing.

Before Hub smugness sets in 2/67 million means over 97% have not had 2 shots and of the 2.9% who have had 2 jabs many will have not had these 3 weeks ago offering full protection.

These figures will deter sane tourists howver many predictions and the desire to return to normality. If Laos and Cambodia can vax their people why not far richer Thailand ?

TAT meanwhile will dream up some new slogan visit  Thailand mingle with the unvaxxed etc....It's to die for

And if the majority are sinovax, then only 10% overall protection I believe, until 2nd dose.

 

Not great, is it ?  ????

Per day rates dropping, yesterday was particularly bad. In theory Sat and Sun should be peak days, but not here I guess...

 

Said to be more vaccines coming from somewhere, 600,000 and 1,000,000 AZ said to have "arrived".

 

An 1 MM Sinovac landed last Thursday.

 

Things should pick up a bit.

 

 

Not sure if CRA/Sinopharm figures will be reported in the government daily figures?

That was a question a potential tourist asked me, How many people have been fully vaccinated in Phuket? 

there is an opinion from dr yong (himself a junta boot licker) that to protect from delta, the third dose is needed.

second dose for 70% will be complished sometimes in the spring next year. 

The third one is still not planned. There is only 105mln ordered

Short answer: Yes.

 

 

Longer answer: As many as are needed to open.

 

Expect this info will be more closely guarded as we get closer to 1 July.

 

As of 17 June it was 350,262 with one dose, 176,182 with two doses.

 

I think anything close to 70% (the denominator can be jiggered apparently) with one dose is fine.

 

The "population" of Phuket is open to interpretation.

 

 

I would say that is a good number of guinea pigs.
But I'm sure they can't be satisfied.

And this is what really matters, not just for Phuket, but for the entire Country.

Thailand has only 2.1 Million people fully Vaccinated as of today.

The other 7.6 Million people that have only one jab, are not Vaccinated

and then the fourth, the fifth, the sixth, the seventh and so on for the whole of existence, between a variant, a corrupt 'expert', a mystifying journalist and a mass of infantilised people.

 

The future is bright before our eyes!

 

Dr.Yong Poovorawan licks far more boots. Every country has its 4-5 priests of science who spout propaganda 24h. He is one of the chosen ones in Thailand.

Indeed.

I don't even get why this one shot Vax # is in the conversation. 

There is another thread where the concept of fully vaccinated is being merged into having one shot.

That's not so bad. 100000 a day gives about 1.5 million people fully vaccinated a month so we'd need only about 36 months to reach some "herd immunity", hence be able to reopen the country on the first of July 2024.

Quite a few moving parts:

 

arms

nurses

vaccine

 

 

right now the vaccine supply is the limiting factor.

 

in a few months there may be a shortage of arms, obviously the second dosers will be a good arm supply.

 

 

With a decent, reliable vaccine supply/inventory they could do 400,000 per day.

 

The problem is that they deplete the vaccine supply and then have to reprime all the hoses in the supply chain.

 

And then they have the wrong amount of vaccine in the wrong places.

They will simply start lying, month over month. We'll see unexplained massive jumps in the reported number of vaccinated people in Thailand. They know the number can never really be challenged, and it's not like they are known for being bound by truth. Easy solution: lie

Stop talking about it and just get on with it you numbnuts !

Blue line is how many doses need to be administered per day to achieve the target of 70% by the end of the year. The bars are how many were administered.

It’s unfortunate that 120 days comes before the end of the year. So even if they meet the end of the year target, they miss the 120 day target. To do 100 million people within  what is now 116 days, is a very big daily number.

 

but just looking at the end of year target, the daily average required is moving up, whilst daily jabs completed is moving lower. I guess as and when they have some vaccines to administer, we’ll see some big daily jumps from the current level.

Hope so.

And that's something to be proud of???   So, only 60 million left to go!!!????????????

(1) So on one hand, many people are insinuating that the government is making up Covid (vax and case count) figures. Conclusion is that protection against Covid is low and folks can easily get sick with the disease.

 

(2) On the other hand, many people are also suggesting that Covid is extremely dangerous and a major health risk to societies. They suggest that reopening now is wrong. Conclusion is that the health effects of the Covid pathogen are crippling on a macro level.

 

It can be factually confirmed  just by going outside that society is not collapsing, or at imminent risk of collapsing, from the direct effects of the Covid pathogen. We know that gradual reopening is happening and that many venues - like restaurants and malls - are often full.

 

So - if statement 1 and 2 are correct, Thailand should've been overwhelmed by Covid long ago, or at the very least, there should be evidence that it is on track to be overwhelmed. Since that evidence is, at best, scant, it's probable that either (1) and/or (2) are not correct.

 

So uh, which one is it? ????????

A longer long answer, and if we don't reach the percentage of vaccinated people needed, we just blanc out a few hundred thousand resident on the books

I did tell them it depends who you ask

68 million to go, give or take, x2 doses done and dusted in about 117 days? 

 

Maybe the US or UK vax programs, few other places, and not ever gonna happen in Land of Salims.

Dismal.

7.5 million jabs since February,... 

Well that's nothing to be proud of, you should be ashamed to publish the figures,  it's a pathetic effort on behalf of the Government....

I thought it good for Thailand

Besides the supply of vaccine side of this problem, according to the missus, the Thais are afraid to get the sinovac. She says it is available to the elders in her village, but they won't take it because of the rumors on social media, etc. They are even more suspicious of the astra zenca vac because it is associated with you know who.
