Already the October timeline is being translated into into end October 2021 to March 2022. Who would want to pay up in advance for this kind of deal without any chance of refund if the hospital fails to deliver as "promised" ? I know all about frugality, coming from Aberdeen. I take it, with your username, your are from Scotland too. It is possible for us to change our spots. Just say 'no' if you don't want it. When I read the terms and conditions, it stated I would get a refund. Do you think you can register and then change your mind? Rather selfish if you do.

We have also been provided with dates for the second shot in twelve weeks time. your point ? you didn't really elaborate on why you are special are you trying to say that there is no problem with farangs getting vaccinated in Thailand especially if they do not want any Chinese junk Just to broadcast "look at me I got vaccinated" is not very helpful is it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookiescot Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 The UK, US, German, Italian, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand .................every western government should be vaccinating us expats here in Thailand. The same as the French and Chinese governments have done. Most of us still pay tax back in our "home" countries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What useful purpose does the Government Pharmaceutical Organisation have in all of this? Push them aside. Let the hospitals order what they think they can use. Now. There is no problem with ordering all their other stock for their pharmacies. They order and pay for the items they think they can sell. Normal commerce. They do not need governmental 'help.' 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normal commerce. They do not need governmental 'help.' Good post, fully agree. We're told many reasons why the paid-private vaccine solution is "challenging". We're told that vaccine manufacturers, or their agents, will only sell to the "government", and that they want a single point of contact. We're told that both the producers/agents, and hospitals need indemnifcation (from the government) for "emergency use" treatments. The government could waive these requirements, and allow hospitals and consortia of hospitals to order, pay for and administer 'alternative vaccines. Just as they do for any medicines. This was done for CRA and Sinopharm in a few hours. AMAZING. Sinopharm is a paid vaccine, 888 baht per dose. The regime does not want a private-paid solution, Sinopharm is 'special', because it makes them look incompetent, and it does have a look of class privilege (as if there is no visible evidence of that everywhere here). Thais want a paid-private vaccine, that is evident by the near instantaneous uptake on the Moderna program on Friday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normal commerce. They do not need governmental 'help.' Unfortunately the US vaccines are only authorized for emergency use at this point and manufacturers cannot advertise for sale or sell to Hospitals around the world , only Gov. When full US FDA authorization is given ( hopefully in a few months ) then the manufacturers can advertise, list and sell to any hospital or medical facility in the USA or world. Untill then they can only be ordered by a Government which it seems Thailand has not done. Full FDA approval of Pfizer’s and Moderna’s COVID-19 shots would reinvigorate the U.S. vaccination push — but it could still be months away https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/full-fda-approval-of-pfizer-s-and-moderna-s-covid-19-shots-would-reinvigorate-the-u-s-vaccination-push-but-it-could-still-be-months-away/ar-AALyw6w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keesters Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 20 hours ago, mtls2005 said: Good for you, and your friends. Youll be fully vaccinated in another ~ 8+ weeks, assuming there are second doses being distributed then. The government may choose to vaccinate more people with one shot, and let the second shot wait. Primary registration site for foreigners is intervac; been down for what, three weeks. Yes, some foreigners got through intervac early, mor prom, pink card, socsec, work. Haven't heard of any others getting appointments recently. Specifially older, nonworking foreigners. I have heard of employees getting appointments, Sinipharm and Sinovac mostly. Yes the process is discriminatory depending on what papers you carry not what your age and health status are. I hope all those farangs who have been vaccinated realise this and that they have been part of the discrimination. Selfish people. I'm all right jack <deleted> the others.
