snoop1130 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 BANGKOK (NNT) - The government will accelerate vaccinating people in Greater Bangkok and other areas with high-infection rates after having almost completed its initial target of immunizing all healthcare workers. Department of Disease Control (DDC) Director-General Dr Opas Karnkawinpong insists the department has ample supplies to administer 10 million doses a month of AstraZeneca and Sinovac to those living in Bangkok and surrounding provinces. He added that the government is looking at other brands with a strong reputation and has recently placed an order with Pfizer. Dr Opas also explained that the use of a mix of vaccines may help to boost immunity against emerging strains of the virus. Immunity could be achieved two weeks after taking mixed doses a month apart. The government hopes cross-vaccination will help it maximize its current resources and will administer five million doses of Sinovac and six million doses of AstraZeneca a month. -- © Copyright NNT 2021-07-19 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An actual world experiment they "hope" will work? Unbelievable about this there are no real studies on mixing vaccines as they plan. I hope it works also and people do not die. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they? Has the Pfizer purchase really been finalized already, with a confirmed delivery timeline? I don't think so, but given the grave situation, I'd be very happy to be proven wrong! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtls2005 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Not sure that the word accelerate is understood? 17 hours ago, snoop1130 said: Department of Disease Control (DDC) Director-General Dr Opas Karnkawinpong insists the department has ample supplies to administer 10 million doses a month of AstraZeneca and Sinovac to those living in Bangkok and surrounding provinces. Yeah, 9.5 mm of sinovac and 500 k of the real vaccine. This guy needs to remove his mask once in a while, seems to be suffering from oxygen to the brain deficiency. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one looks at daily case counts (admittedly not a completely accurate picture because testing is limited by logistics), Bangkok itself (not including surrounding provinces) has less than one-fifth of national totals. IMV, case counts in every province are due to the fact the generals have no stones to prevent interprovincial travel, starting with Songkran. Too late now, Thailand is one big petri dish. Will we become India, Italy or the UK is the only question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Studies in the time of Covid are no longer required, needed, or ever wanted. Nowadays all that is required is this phrase: "Experts Say....."

This is right up there with Anutin and Prayuth statements a few months back that Thailand has vaccines of all kinds for everyone in Thailand. So they are rolling that back out again. Clever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
