At that rate , they'll be looking at another 12-18 months for the full vaccine roll out. Not good for the people or the economy.

[it is what it is]

 

too little, too slow. come on guys, get your act together

[Sudarut]

You would have to be desperate to accept a vaccine from a country that has a counterfeit food problem and can't even make a safe infant formula. 

[sammieuk1]

After last weeks lords show of Pfizer comes the SInovac ????

[arick]

Keep the reciept and return them even the Chinese in China don't want ro take Sinovac. 

[ikke1959]

bd working Sinovac and everyone needs an extra shot after the 2 jabs.. Cost only more money than buying a good working vaccine instead

[DonaldBattles]

Why does the government keep buying Sinovac from China when they can get the good vaccine from the USA?

This is starting to feel like Ground Hog's day.

So where's the other 13 mm doses of SV?

 

 

Continuing to use this vaccine, while at the same time saying that two doses of it are not good enough for medicos (who require a third shot booster), and talking up two-tone vaccinations (SV+AZ), seems like a doomed plan. The public will balk, and both vaccination and containment efforts will fail.

 

I'm not sure one could pick a worse path, but the regime amazes every day. Twice on Sundays.

I am not sure. If you live here and you get SinoVac is this accepted in Europe or the USA as vaccination?

Hence some of the donated Pfizer being controversially allocated to Thais who intend to travel abroad.

You are wrong. It is accepted by some countries. Here are the details: https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/news/eu-travel-covishield-sinopharm-sinovac-vaccines-are-most-widely-accepted-by-eu-countries-after-those-authorised-by-ema/

The problem is to get the hands on the certificate in Thailand. In my case, I was vaccinated with Sinovac and month later with AZ (working in education sector) and now after a month since my last vaccination I still didn't receive the certificate.

Always be optimistic. According to your source it is like this below. I have to admit - that is better than nothing ????

 

"The Sinovac vaccine is recognised as valid proof of vaccination by these countries: Austria, Cyprus, Finland, Greece, Iceland, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden"

American citizens can return to the U.S. unvaccinated. And they can return to Thailand unvaccinated.

 

If you plan to travel to a country other than your home country, then do your research. Worst case? You'll have to quarantine on arrival.

Not sure what that certificate will do for anyone.

Does this qualify for entry into other countries and are you considered fully vaccinated?  Mixing vaccines has been a Thailand thing,  from what I have read I am not sure it is recognized as being fully vaccinated as it is not 2 doses of the same vaccine.

Mixing vaccines is becoming a norm worldwide. Firstly they have to be recognized by health institutions like EMA for Europe but individual countries decide for themselves the acceptance of particular vaccine.

What is the point??? Everybody says it is in effective

Edited August 16, 2021 by peleid

Mixing vaccines not accepted by UK (England only), you still have to quarantine. Thailand is on the UK "amber" list for now, so being fully vaccinated negates the need to quarantine. Incidentally, Pfizer is on the UK approved vaccine list, Sinovac is not.

The difference is for example, if you fly to germany and are fully vaccinated with an approved vaccine, you do not have to do the 10 or 6 days quarantine at home.

For bussines travelers an important issue.

Good news.

 

Coincidentally, I received a chocolate teapot and an ashtray for my motorcycle in the post this morning.

Said to be largely ineffective against the Delta variant virus which is now the major concern in Thailand I don't see why the government is staying on this strategy?

But I have a good idea why.

And Prayut wonders why people are out on the streets protesting...

not only is the inoculation programme abysmal, 24.55 million doses are of Sinovac which allegedly is not effective against the now nationwide dominant strain Delta.

Just what is the government doing?

Deferring to the proprietor's wishes as usual.

 

Playing politics by ordering and using Chinese vaccines instead of US ones.

 

Attempting to make money through vaccine procurement and production.
