snoop1130 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Since last October Ministry for Foreign Affairs has held consultations with allies and friends to ensure that they will be able to provide vaccines if need be, according to the spokesperson, Tanee Sangrat. In the press conference on Thursday, he said that Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai has been in touch with China, the US, Japan, Russia, South Korea, Switzerland to secure shipments of their vaccines through the past year. Last October, Don held talks with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi about the bilateral plan to fight the Covid-19. Both sides discussed vaccine cooperation and procurement. As a result, in April Thailand was the first country in ASEAN to purchase commercially Sinovac, the Chinese-made vaccines. Up til now, Thailand has imported a total of 10 million doses together with 1.5 million doses donated by China.

Almer Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) Perhaps the purse is empty, all the talk about huge cash reserves may not be true, and now it is out with the begging cap. Edited July 16, 2021 by Almer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtls2005 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Yada Yada Yada They need to retrain those COVID sniffing dogs to Vaccine-sniffing dogs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SooKee Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Do they realise that announcing 20 times (and then some!) that the US is donating 1.5 million doses doesn't make it 30 million doses? Seems to be a trend here, repeatedly announce the same 'intent to order' time and time again to create the impression they are doing way more than they really are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont confuse me Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 The US embassy site stated that it has supplied Thailand with aid. The problem is that there are too many fingers in the pie all looking for a way to secure a brown envelope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas J Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I see lots of announcements about various parts of the government being "instructed" to order vaccines. I see precious few about contracts with established delivery dates being actually signed and fewer yet about vaccines actually arriving. Trust Me - The Check Is In The Mail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Tracy Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Bored once more. Can't register, can't get vaccinated. Got a year's extension, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorry Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) Correct title would be "... efforts to keep out vaccines". Thailand produces its own Astra. Other than this, you can freely import any vaccine as long as the name is Sinovac (partly owned by CP). Other vaccines are not welcome.

J Town Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I received an email from the US embassy 8:27 this morning, informing me that US citizens could enroll for an AZ jab. I wasn't aware of it until 9:05. I went to enroll and got this. I hope the embassy realizes there is a huge need for AZ jabs by the obvious interest.
