webfact Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Picture: Sanook The deputy chief of the Government Pharmaceutical Organisation told Sanook that the plan to distribute the Moderna vaccine through private hospitals is ahead of schedule. Sirikun Methiwerangsan said that arrangements with 285 private hospitals have been made and from tomorrow (Friday 16th) agreements to supply them will be signed. She said that she hoped all payments from the hospitals will be finalised by 21st July. Then on 23rd July, Friday next week, the GPO will sign the contract with the Zuellig Pharma company, the Moderna representative. "That is quicker than was previously expected," she said. This will pave the way for the arrival of the vaccine. It will be 5 million doses arriving at the start of the fourth quarter of 2021 (October 1st) and start of next year. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2021-07-15 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post richard_smith237 Posted July 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2021 ‘Agreements will be signed’…, So nothing agreed yet then… what happens when 5 million people receive their first dose, then need a follow up dose 2-4 weeks later but there are no more vaccines. Or, will 5 million vaccines be for 2.5 million people with second doses reserved ?? I can just see anyone with connections, the government, politicians, military etc all pulling rank to get this ‘better’ vaccine meanwhile those who really need it in high risk groups, in areas of high density work & accommodation continues to be left by the wayside. 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clydesdale Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 While decisions have been delayed and supply has been limited we see the number of daily cases keep on rising.

tingtong Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 When the exact same news (1st October start ) is dressed up again and again weekly to look good. Nothing really have changed. Same date, same amount, same price. But let's celebrate it anyway! Not that there is much between lockdown and waiting for the promised flood of AZ vaccines. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a signature from someone low on the totem pole over here is already lucrative. I received a call this morning to come and get my vaccination tomorrow! As i am over 60 i was thinking it would be Astra Z. but flip flop it is now Sinovac. I told them,thanks but no thanks. Tomorrow there will be some other ruling for sure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtls2005 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 While on the other hand... who needs to make up crazy faux news with this regime. The Government Pharmaceutical Organisation has registered complaints with police accusing Thonburi Healthcare Group (THG) chairman Boon Vanasin of defamation. GPO said in a statement on Wednesday its lawyers had filed a complaint against Dr Boon and Loy Chunpongthong at Phaya Thai police station on Tuesday over their separate comments about the procurement of Moderna Covid-19 vaccine. https://www.reuters.com/article/health-coronavirus-thailand-vaccines-idUSL4N2OQ1QC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non of my Thai friends use that constantly ad they know it's silly, lazy and potentially impolite. We are foreigners. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that "those who really need it in high risk groups, in areas of high density work & accommodation" are likely to be heading to the private hospitals for comparatively expensive Moderna vaccinations? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of depends on your interpretation of the word "minority". Just being part of a small group of visitors in this country doesn't make us minorities in the discriminatory sense that you clearly meant. We are not the only ones who can't get vaccinated here yet, the majority of Thais can't either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
