Popular Post webfact Posted September 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2021 File photo: REUTERS Thai media reported on the success that is the vaccination rollout on the holiday island of Koh Samui in Thailand's southern Surat Thani province. Aurthorities stated that just about 100% of the population on the island had received a first dose of vaccine. Those having had two jabs are now at 80%. A vaccination area has been set up at the International School of Tourism where booster jabs will be administered from today until October 7th. These are for people who have had 2 doses of Sinovac so far.

ikke1959 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 100% is just impossible... It means that babies, and kids are all vaccinated too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be 110 % of recorded adult population. Lots of Thais and foreigners came from the mainland to try and get on the back of the Samui plus vaccinations. (Since about May.) Foreigners were turned away after an immigration check. Thais received the vaccines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RafPinto Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Booster doses. Soon we will read that 125% had their 5th booster. Cocktail of a few Scheinese first premium vaccines. Soon, you have to sign up for a 2 weekly injection at your local 7/11. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robblok Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I don't get it that people believe this B.S. You either state that 100% of the people above 12 (or whatever the cut off age has had a dose) but you dont state population. Because that includes kids and you can never get to a 100% as they don't get shots (not advocating for that). The 100% is probably because there are less people registrated as living in Samui as people that have had shots. Lots of people are not in house books. Just bringing out this kind of overstatements makes them look bad. A bit more details and some smart questions from journalists would be better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phetphet Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 GF said Univerity looks packed. People have been posting photos of the queues there. She is going tomorrow for her AZ booster. Already had two Sinovac. I have told her it might be better to wait just get two Moderna if and when they come in case we want to travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunPer Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I know at least one grown up that they forgot when counting to 100 percent; I presume that it should be 100 percent of target, kids have not yet been vaccinated, and, they probably only begin next week...???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunPer Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Here are the facts from Samui Hospital at the press conference held September 20th... Over 75 percent fully vaccinated 55,000 with Sinovac, 3rd jab with AstraZeneca begins from 27th September (i.e. today) 33,000 with Astra Zeneca Vaccinated with 1 dose: 24,000 1st jab AstraZeneca 112,000 people is 100 percent of the estimated grown up population (even they might miss a few individuals)...

robblok Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I understand that the population of samui is 67265 in 2017. But once things open up wont there be a lot of workers needed. Don't these people need vaccinations too and get counted ? @khunPer Are the 67K inhabitants a true number of what is needed once tourists come ?

For Covid-vaccinations it was counted (in round numbers) as 60,000 registered residents (house book), plus 30,000 known foreigners and migrant workers, plus 30,000 estimated tourists and un-registered migrant workers; i.e. around 120,000 people, later both 114,000 and 125,000 have been mentioned...????

Truroboy Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Okay had our two AZ vaccinations last Sunday both my wife and I at Bangkok Samui Hospital . Well organized and professional we thought. Question what do we need to do now to get Q code and vaccination certificate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cclub75 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 So it means everything is over on Koh Samui, right ? We can go to restaurants, the bars can open, we can have fun, no more masks, no more ban on alcool sales, no more curfew, etc. No ? ???? Too bad.... So when will it end ? If 100 % of the population vaccinated are not enough... then what is the next goalpost ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncc1701d Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Are they restricting entry to vaccinated only? Including domestic? For me it doesn’t matter two brass farthings if it’s true or not, if they can BS the hkg government that it’s for real - they may reduce quarantine back in hkg.

Take your passport and the documentation from your two jabs and go to Nathon Samui Hospital. I do not know the exact place to go as I am going for my vaccine passport on Thursday. Probably no point in going sooner. The third floor is usually the place to go for documentation but you may need to 'check in' somewhere else.
