This should be for the benefit of the general public and supplied by the Government at no cost to the public What the "$£$$%" has private hospitals got to do with this? The government wants to shift the blame to the private hospitals but the private hospitals still have to order threu the government( that's my understanding) . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was based on free, no committment registrations, basically expressing interest. Obviously many people registered with mutliple hospitals. Now they are winnowing that down to real, paying customers by getting them to fork over enough cash to cover their costs to actually throw into the GPO trough. Once the trough is full the GPO will place an order with Zuellig, after taking their "commission". There will be blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine ordering your vaccine on Amazon, with a “We can deliver to Thailand in four days”. From UPS to Kerry to your door, much like pizza delivery—only in a frozen package. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or months ago? Why only now, and why such late delivery? Are they scared of the cost? Gotta find a way to pay for the subs and the moon shot somehow- this whole fiasco is a great little earner for a few top Thai people - to h**l with the unwashed peasants and dirty foreigners. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thailand49 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 The first 5 million is sold out it will be used as BOOSTER for all government leaders, family and friends then those who are willing to pay for it.

TonyChiangMai Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 It is interesting how we continue to get fake news here. Those of us who have already registered for Moderna in 48 hours the THG window was open (with the whole process in Thai) got an email yesterday confirming the cost will be 1,700 baht x 2 providing you do not have any medical complications. We have not been asked to pay yet though. It was explained to us that the private hospitals plan to have a procurement Memorandum of Understanding in place with the Moderna agent by August (and to collected down payments from registered people by then) but that they would order AFTER that date. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why they do the things they o?, you will have to ask them. I just reacted to the assertion that Thailand does not have the funds to pay for the vaccine. and would need tourist to come to raise the funds. Thailand has reserves, can issue bonds and raise more funds, and is not a one trick pony relying on tourism exclusively. Tourism is a major component but not the only one.

There is a huge difference between "waiting" and availability, there are those that want to control the market. Nine months down the line and the major players still don't want to agree to the waiver proposal. Under World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, the organisation can invoke a waiver of certain IP rights on technologies that could help combat an exceptional global crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.3 To this end, on 16 October 2020 India and South Africa presented a proposal to the WTO Trade-Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) Council. https://www.europeanpharmaceuticalreview.com/article/156412/waiving-covid-19-vaccine-intellectual-property-rights/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJ2U Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Is this on top of the repirted 5 million doses that was reported over a week ago? Thaiger June 24th "The Government Pharmaceutical Organisation said that only 5 million Moderna Covid-19 vaccines would be available at private hospitals, half as many as the 10 million total figure expected. The government of Thailand is giving free vaccinations using the Sinovac and AstraZeneca vaccines, while they had approved Johnson & Johnson, Modena, and Pfizer vaccines for private use." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. No orders have been placed. They're scrounging up the cash for an order. Maybe 4 MM first, then 1 MM, then 5 MM. If that first order arrive before February 2022 I'd be shocked. Maybe if an 'expediting' fee is paid, faster delivery can be "arranged"/ Edited July 1, 2021 by mtls2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newnative Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Just more slow, slow, slow feet dragging. Another useless statement thrown out to make it look like they are doing something. I've lost count on how many of these we have had. We're buying this. We've ordered that. We're procuring this. We're in the process of getting that. And, as usual, total vagueness as to when they will arrive--but always sometime later in the year--or next year. Meanwhile, nothing NOW. 5 million doses is peanuts, by the way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
