You don't get it. Delta is here. No isolation is perfect. If you're not vaccinated it's not IF you will get infected, it's WHEN. Of course vaccinated people get infected too, but they have protection against severe case (but some vaccines are much better than others). 

 

I just booked for a jab tonight. So I won't be waiting until October or later for anything and I never intended to IF I could get anything earlier. 

I do get it, think of yourself first.

Thailand has administered at least 12,908,193 doses of COVID vaccines so far. Assuming every person needs 2 doses, that’s enough to have vaccinated about 9.3% of the country’s population.

According to Our World in Data,

Really? With government provided healthcare you should have already received your services. Quite a significance indeed.

Up here in Sakon Nakhon many teachers, nurses, and doctors haven't received any vaccines.

 

Government health care or not thered a shortage of vaccines.

I can't see you's are going on about, stay where you are because I'm down here in Australia and we are once again in lockdown And in such a stuff up with the vaccine roll out with Scot Morrison and his pals, by the time we get over this one something else will come along. I can't get vaccinated because of my age and don't want AZ, Pfizer finely got here but only up 59yrs. Thailand mightn't be the land of smiles at this time, but it will be again and I hope  like hell to be there.

There can be no reciprocity because there is no vaccine. What I cannot understand is people who say they have the opportunity to be vaccinated but turn it down because they want a "name brand" vaccine. Better take what you can get, especially if you're a foreigner, because I don't see any big shipment of vaccine to Thailand on the horizon.

Hobson's choice. Rather like being asked if one would prefer to be shot, hung or electrocuted. I would have refused the Sinovac vaccine. I received AZ and yes I would have preferred an mRNA vaccine. China has a terrible reputation.

Or if they knew.

Earlier I posted a link to the media report. That charter flight reference by the member was actually for fee paying overseas students. The member's allegation was false. I also provided other links talking to free Covid vaccinations for foreigners in Oz and the value of overseas fee paying students to the OZ economy -  it is significant - to counter any attempts by the 'right of centre members' on this forum with their usual conspiracy nonsense.

The personal baiting part of your post is ignored. I'm so totally disgusted with smug expats implying expats with passports don't deserve jabs.

 

Don't bait me with that garbage again. Try that on someone else.

 

As far as Pattaya yes there is a shortage of vaccines here but some high risk Thais have been served with high risk expats explicitly excluded.

 

 

 

If by high risk you mean over 75 then it has been possible for the past few weeks to travel to Bangkok and get  a walk-in vaccination of AZ. I have advertised this possibility on here  and over 30 acquaintances have taken advantage-they made the  effort and did not sit behind a keyboard complaining. That possibility closes today. They just needed a Passport.

Yes. I know. I have posted about that multiple times. I am not that old. High risk in Thailand is defined as age 60 or over and/or with these conditions:

- Severe Chronic Respiratory Diseases (CRDs)
- Coronary artery disease (CAD)
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) (5th stage)
- Stroke
- Cancer patients receiving chemotherapy
- Diabetes
- Obesity (weight > 100 kg or BMI > 35 kg/m²)

Hmm, in that case I suppose the difficulty that I face is understanding the ideological significance of government provided health care in countries like, oh I dunno, the Uk, USA, France, Germany, actually, now I think of it, a lot of non socialist countries.

 

just what is your point, or are you talking to an audience consisting of only yourself?

If you're going to be pedantry, at least try and get it right; because it's a little bit embarrassing when you get it wrong

Do you mean "pedantic?"  (That knife cuts both ways) ????
