Popular Post snoop1130 Posted August 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2021 The Thai Mai Thon (Impatient Thais) political group lodged a petition with the Central Administrative Court today (Monday) asking it to hold an emergency hearing on COVID-19 vaccine procurement restrictions and to allow the private sector and local administration organizations to import alternative vaccines for use in Thailand. Led by Dr. Kamonpan Chivapansri and Suradet Namjampa, the group accused Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, Public Health Permanent Secretary Dr. Kiattibhoom Vongrachit and Dr. Vitoon Danvibul, director of the Government Pharmaceutical Organization, of failure in vaccine management, resulting in shortages and suffering. The group asked the court to issue an injunction to lift the state monopoly on the import of COVID-19 vaccines and to allow the private sector and local administration organizations to import them, citing the cases of Cambodia and Taiwan.

herfiehandbag Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) Given what is ultimately and actually driving vaccine supply in Thailand, this will not receive a response. Edited August 9, 2021 by herfiehandbag 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saraburi121 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Im sure private sector could do a bang up job of procuring, distributing and administrating vaccines than the govt could from seeing the "red tape" thus far. Let them make a little profit subsidized by the govt. Private sector is more flexible, able to modify existing logistic pipelines quickly, experienced in management/procurement and able to overcome bottlenecks in logistics. Govt could probably save money and serve the population better. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere that as long as a vaccine has only conditional approval status the manufacturers can only deal with government entities. I don't know if it's true. Anybody know for sure?

newnative Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Months too late but at least it might offer a little embarrassment--although with this amnesty bill they seem to be pretty much beyond being embarrassed about anything they do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Isaan sailor Posted August 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2021 It begs the question: why did Sinovav clear paperwork within days, while Pfizer and Moderna take months? The only Pfizer doses in Thailand now came by way of donation—not purchase. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Taylor Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I have been reading months ago that the govt would allow private hospitals to procure vaccines. Now I think on it I think the wording was they will not stop the private sector from ordering vaccines. Kind of true because mechanisms were already in place that made it impossible. Man what is it with this prime minister, is saving face really that important given the ongoing cost of doing so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
