Contract signed for Thailand’s 20 million doses of Pfizer vaccine, delivery in Q4 this year

[chilli42]

I don’t know how anyone can say “well done”.  This contract should have been signed back in April when it was clear that Thai Pharma was unable to produce any meaningful quantity of the vaccine.  Maybe Thailand would not have gotten the vaccine any soon but it would have been a reassuring signal to Thai people that their government was pulling out all the stops to all that was humanly possible to avert a disaster.

Well done .

But now is a good time to think about getting further vaccines for next year when the 20 million jabs have been injected .

   Order some more for next year , Now 

Wont happen, they'll be hanging out until the last minute to see if their own vaccine actually works, by then sadly it will be far too late for thousands.  It's all about the money honey, very few of the poor villagers that die are Government supporters

[the green light]

20 millions Pfizer = vaccinating 10 million person.

5million of AZ/month = 2,5million person. ( assuming the supply is available)

By  December 2021, it would b realistic to say out that 20million people will be vaccinated.

.Not counting the re-vaccination of people who got the sinovac

 

I think we need to be realistic to say vaccination of 50% of the population  is a good target  = 35 million people.

 

More vaccines is needed to reach that goal by 1st quarter 2022.

a good start but a long way to go.

 

There is still issues::: is it going to be free? are they planning to vaccinate 15yr and up?

What happened to the 1 million doses that were donated? 200,000 of those were supposed to go to foreigners

[WingFat]

Good start...but still a LONG way to go. Here's the "Vax Math"  forThailand:

 

- 20 million doses of Pfizer = approx.  10 million fully vaccinated. Population of Thailand = 70 million.

- As of 3 days ago, 14,298,596 doses have been administered (per Reuters), which = about 7,000,000 totally or partially vaccinated.

- To achieve 70% of population totally vaccinated = 49,000,000 people totally vaccinated or 98,000,000 doses.

- The Pfizer deal brings the total vaccinated to about 17,000,000 total vaccinated. Leaving a shortfall of about 53,000,000 doses.

- The "wild cards" are how many doses of the Chinese Anti-Freeze C**p vaccine Thailand will get + any Astra Zeneca + any Moderna, etc, etc.  through the 4th quarter of 2021 ???

 

12 months from now, Thailand should be close to, if not there, to reaching 70% vaccinated.

 

Place your bets with the Chinese Vax Bookies in Macau...

This raises an interesting question:  will the 20 million Pfizer vacs arrive prior to the prepaid deposit Moderna?  As of today, they haven’t ordered Moderna.   And if so, can those who prepaid Moderna opt over to Pfizer shots, while giving away or donating Modera?

all valid questions and concerned which is something the Thai agencies or companies that have to pay for vaccines in advance have been waffling over.  They are required to pay up front to order the vaccines, but from a money point of view they would of course be concerned about how to make money on their outlay

[cjinchiangrai]

Where is the rest? We nees 150 million doses and this contract is at least 4 months late.

Nice summary, thank you. I would add about 20% for wastage and lack of product control. The storage will be an issue and some is sure to go missing.

Could be October, also,  but, if it is December it wouldn't be late, it would be on schedule.

It wouldn't be on schedule to the people that get sick and die from Covid 19  in December

You're wrong, it would be on the contracted schedule.   

 

You're assuming that everyone who dies before the distribution of the vaccine in that order will have wanted (and been able to get) that vaccine and that those doses would have prevented those Covid-19 deaths?    You're not really up to speed on how the virus and the vaccinations work, are you?

Thank you K. Prayood for caring about us. You have selflessly dealt with this pandemic, unlike other influential figures.

Like any business, negotiate, order, lead time, delivery...

 

Q4 is 3 months.  Split shipments every month?  One shipment?  What month?

 

This is only a partial report.

Interesting that one party calls it a contract, and the other party calls it an agreement.

 

 

They agree to sign a contract soon.

Are these vaccines still valid? How long since past-due-date? For Europeans, be sure these vaccines are recognized by Europeans.

The 4th quarter starts in October. If they signed a purchase agreement and not just a preeemptive document, than a delivery date should be mentioned. Dear Anutin please share this info with us? I'm making travel decisions based on this info.

this is Thailand and the best we can get is  ""with delivery expected in the fourth quarter of this year""  555

They've signed the contract already, which is also a signed agreement, there's no distinction between the two.

So the hi so that pushed to the front of the vaccine queue and have already been vaccinated will miss out? Leaving Pfizer for the poor people languishing at the back?
 

Oh the irony.

They will still corner Pfizer as a booster!

Well done, finally! ... I just hope it's not too little too late.

To little.  Enough for 10 million people.  There going to have to revaccinate all the people who got Sinovac.

 

 

Too late:

According to the article it took 3 months to even sign the contract.

Remember that you need to blame that on Pfizer, not Thailand, Thailand cannot control production of Pfizer products.

Thailand could have "controlled" the official purchase date or contract date which could have been done quite some (long)  time ago

Exactly.  If they had ordered Pfizer in January, they’d have them all now.

Release the exact delivery dates and be very specific about it... Seeing is believing

Dont order and buy shares in Pfizer and others keep buying shares and then make a big order. That way they make money when shares go up and the public are happy that finally made an order.

Sorry but 15 month to late and not all the people are blindfolded to your tactics

Unless you're claiiming that Cambodians are ghosts, yes, they actually survived. As for comparing Thailand to Afghanistan, did a powerful nation  also militarily invade Thailand and totally break down its society so that militant Buddhist fanatics took control of the country and then sheltered people who launched an attack on the United States that killed 4000 people and invited retribution? First Cambodia, now Afghanistan. You're really swinging for the bleachers, ain't ya?

I don't know what  swinging for  bleaches means. I am pointing out that Covid-19  and the reaction  to it here in Thailand  is a cataclysmic  disaster  from which Thailand  will never recover just as Cambodia  never recovered  from the KR. The fundamental  fabric  of the society,  the culture  and the way of life was destroyed.  I refer to Afghanistan and Iran because I saw the changes  take place. I witnessed the changes. Such changes  also happened  in Saudi  Arabia. Whole swathes  of South and Central America  has been ruined, despoiled, corrupted and impoverished. This is what is happening  now in Thailand and there is no road, no route to recovery. Thailand is not alone. Not one country in the world has found a solution  to Covid-19. Some of the wealthier, well organised countries are coping but Thailand has no ruling group willing or able to  lead in this time of crisis  and zero motivation to aid or assist  the population.  The Golden age of Thailand;  How we remember it; Why we came here; Why we were attracted  here IS GONE FOREVER. Get used to it. It's very a sad and depressing fact. The world has changed.
