that is no extra.... Astra announced already that they would deliver 6 mill doses.. this week already 4,7 rest was following next week and the Japan had announced to give Astra and that is sealed yesterday so nothing new

Not even enough Astrazeneca to do a large town and outlying villages!!!!. Amateurs

[rodknock]

who gets the shots?

[djayz]

A drop in the ocean. 

[Surelynot]

Since you are apparently a 'professional' what do you suggest?

Does it matter?  The contract says the local manufacturer needs to deliver 6-7mil a month or whatever the number they have been throwing around is.  If they can't produce it themselves I believe they are contractually obligated to get it from somewhere else.

Sinovac is now shown that it doesn’t work! Dozens of doctors in Indonesia were fully vaccinated and have died 

[Soikhaonoiken]

But how many jabs have you done this week...???   Its the jabs that count... 

[Ron jeremy]

Interesting news about sinovac 

[MasterBaker]

please tell them don't put it on ice!

[bradiston]

Does this include the 1.05m AZ shots donated by Japan, and the 500k Sinovac donated by China?

 

The article states

 

"In June Thailand received 9 million doses and the Department of Disease Control is quickly distributing them for inoculation."

 

9 million doses? In June? What the....? The magician has conjured up a new figure. Last I heard, it was 4.7 not including the now heavily reduced figure, from 1.3m, to 800,000 from AZ. So 5.5m in total. I just do not understand the computations these guys are making. Give us a true, accurate breakdown of type, source, delivery date and quantities!

Update

[herfiehandbag]

If one adds up all the vaccine production, deliveries declared and purchases announced over, say, the last two months then at a casual glance one would assume that the government have done a sterling job and acquired more than enough of the stuff.

 

Yet there seems to be a shortage?

 

Surely they are not counting it twice, or something like that?

 

I mean, that wouldn't be very, umh, "transparent" now would it?

So is that 3.2 million does for 1st time vaccines or for 2nd jabs which must be needed by now?

decisions decisions.

I am not sure what to believe these days....... i have seen that report, I have seen others where Sinovac has yielded great protection. We are being subjected to media manipulation and the truth is a hidden secret!

So the previous statements were "inaccurate"? Or maybe we misunderstood them?

 

Previously these were "June" numbers.

 

Still prefer AZ/THL management (james teague) updated us publicly, but suspecty the thai regime has nixed that.

 

Would be awesome if they said where these AZ doses came from? Domestic? Foreign?

 

That said, 2.2 MM of the good stuff is great news, moreso of they're a local varietal.

The strategy du jour seems to be to get first doses into as many people as quickly as possible, and deal with second doses later.

 

I suspect there will be a MASSIVE second-dose fiasco. EPIC perhaps.

 

For AZ, they've got until ~ 30 August before the 2nd dose bulge starts to hit. (12 weeks from 7 June) Then the decision comes.

Yes media manipulation from those that are selling it, but the truth obviously lies in the deaths.

perhaps these doses came as gels not liquids?

You know, I suspect that they have got themselves into such a complete muddle, with so many individuals, agencies and ministries grandstanding, announcing, declaring and predicting that they actually don't know themselves.

     Yes, I think it does matter.  The fine print in AZ contracts, from what I have heard regarding this same issue in Europe, actually says they just need to make some sort of 'best reasonable effort' to deliver the vaccines.  Several Asian countries that were expecting their AZ shipments did not get them--but perhaps a best reasonable effort was made.

Oh I'm sure they know. All deliveries come through the government and its agencies. Not difficult for them to keep a tally. The problem is the origin and quantities of the AZ shots, which are both moot, to say the least, and a very sensitive subject. With Sinovac there's only one possible point of origin, I imagine. I think it's just a case of BS baffles brains. Keep throwing out numbers that don't add up and everybody gets so confused trying to unravel them, they just give up. What will be, will be. Headbanging stuff.

Yes, certainly a feature, and not a bug.

 

And no one, like a free press, can hold them accountable.

Ah, the contract. Are you sure i t didn't say that they will make best efforts like the EU contract? And then the EU started to insist the difference was made up from UK labs... How did that go?

Not us!

[Surelynot]

Got mine yesterday........it was "vaccinated the foreigners" day at Phaythai 2........supposed to be over 60's but I would say at 65 I was one of the oldest there....the average age must have been 30+........so how they all registered I have no idea.

[natway09]

I want to ask Thai Visa to try & get a "daily countrywide vaccinated " figure,

Failing that a weekly one please, then we can really see what is going on.

Please second that members ???

[Danderman123]

I believe that some 250,000 shots are given daily, so it’s 250,000 X 7 = 1,750,000 shots per week. 
 

On the other hand, if you add up all the announcements of doses received by the government in the last week, it’s a lot more than 1,750,000, so there may be some missing doses.

 

Also, the daily numbers are supposed to be shots administered, but This is Thailand, so maybe those are doses distributed to vaccination centers, rather than actual shots.

I am talking about the contract between Siam Bioscience and the Thai Gov't.  Not the contract with AstraZeneca.
