Numbers look good  ???? and great news. Does that mean that the three conditions imposed by its Governor will be met to open Bangkok and welcome fully vaccinated  in a month or so as planned ? ????

In an article he said he believed they would reach the 70% target by end October.

@sapson they are already @ 42% double jabbed so end of October is not that funny and unachievable really.

Yes it makes sense to compare data in terms of population to be able to draw any real conclusions

What difference does that make, then it would be who had administered the most vaccines per million people, it’s not about that, it’s about which countries have achieved the most so far in terms of vaccinating a percentage of their population regardless of how large or small it is.

Oh yes....it is...or you haven't read nor listened to any "news" since 2020: it has been a race, with a well documented ranking,  to who would "achieve" anything by any means...and I mean everywhere

Hopefully, this will ensure we come off the UK "RED LIST" in the next month or two!?

I expect the initial reopening of Bangkok to international tourists will come with a lot of fine print and Catch 22's which will keep the great majority of international tourists away....just like the Phuket Sandbox.

It's only a competition in Asia...

 

And then, they will all look stupid : "I won ! 356 %, more or less, of my population is vaccinated, but mai ko chai we still haves cases".

Just aswell, a bronze medal or even less doesn't look good.

[elgenon]

But where does it stand as far as the percentage of the people that have been vaxed? That's what counts.

[Sydebolle]

Never a dull moment; I did not even know that they had silently invented yet another Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovations. 

Given the difference in road grid, infrastructure and logistic challenges, the numbers of Brunei and Vietnam are more than disappointing; outstanding though is Cambodia and Laos. Indonesia and the Philippines face the challenge of thousands of islands. If Thailand would have started straight away and not hick hack around between all those Ministries which all knew better and a Ministry of Public Health bashing less on dirty farang and more on "getting the job done", Thailand would be second also in percentage!  
 

Remember, of relevance is the percentage of population and not the absolute numbers:

 

77.37% Singapore 5,9 million , vaccinations administered 9,13 million doses
68,24% Cambodia 17 million , vaccinations administered 23,2 million doses
61.77% Malaysia 32,7 million , vaccinations administered 40,4 million doses 
45.74% Brunei 443,000 , vaccinations administered 405,300 doses
31.93% Thailand 70 million , vaccinations administered 44,7 million doses
31.76% Lao PDR 7,4 million , vaccinations administered 4,7 million doses
22.55% Indonesia 277 million , vaccinations administered 124,9 million doses
17.52% Vietnam 98,3 million , vaccinations administered 34,1 million doses
18.58% Philippines 111,4 million , vaccinations administered 41,4 million doses

Please don't spread misinformation. Currently, only 21.7% of the population has received both doses, and some of them will have had Sinovac so will require a third dose. At the moment, 41.7% of the population has received one dose of any vaccine.

 My reply was in response to a post concerning Bangkok and the three criteria for opening by the Governor, not the country as a whole, so no misinformation just facts.

Surely the percentages will be on the population of that country if only one person lived there and had the vaccine then 100% would be fully vaxed if 66 million people lived there and 44%  had just a single vac that leaves about 40 million unvaccinated But also what vaccine should be counted to  if that one person had jabs that give 80% protection and 44%  had jabs only giving 20% protection. So none of this survey can be taken seriously

5th and 6th place out of 10 isn't that good. Seems those clapping have only seen the 2nd place which is meaningless.

They are at 42 % that are only single jabbed ,

Not double jabbed. That is only some 20 % or so.
