Thanks to the efforts of the French Embassy in Thailand, Moderna vaccination is available to French Citizens from 12 year-old as well as their husbands & wives (with other citizenships).

 

This is a Free of Charge initiative.

Again, the best vaccines available first to foreigners in Thailand.

"Hospitals will receive the partial delivery of the COVID-19 vaccine made by Moderna in the fourth quarter of this year and they will equally have 40% of their order."

 

It is also available to Thais if they are married to a French person or the children of one.

Who do you think is to blame for that?

The Thai government look after foreigners more than their own. How many Thais do you know who  have had Pfizer? How many expat?

So you agree that Thai government treats its own people like dirt.

No. My point was that foreigners are well looked after, despite some of the paranoid ones thinking that they were put to the back of the queue.

You are wrong.

This is nothing to do with the Thai government.

This is the French government giving the vaccine to French and non French family members (including Thais).

It clearly states that the French government is providing this Moderna not the Thai government, I think you are pointing your finger at the wrong government! In fact they are also providing it for Thai wife’s and children????

Pfizer was donated by the USA and when I was vaccinated in Kalasin both Foreigners and Thais were receiving the vaccine.

 

You must understand that the Thai government had opportunities long ago to either purchase direct and to join a Covax scheme of nations, in order to purchase these vaccines. They declined and thought they knew better by ordering vast quantities of Sinovac from the Chinese.

 

They then realized that the Chinese vaccines were not as good, and went back to the Pfizer and Johnson and Johnson producers, by which time Thailand is way down the queue.

 

Thailand has received free help and donations of vaccines from the USA, UK,  and EU to help ALL its citizens.

 

Thailand had to be told in strong terms that these vaccines had been donated free and to be distributed fairly to all people residing in Thailand, not only Thais, (which is what some hospitals had been stating, Thais only or Thais first! ) which then lead to them changing course and treating foreigners equally, not favorably!

This initiative is organized, and paid, by the French Government for the French & their Relatives (who could be Thai).

 

Why did the French organize it? Because the Thai didn't score very well (understatement!) re. Covid Vaccination.

 

Clearer?

After the explanations from other people above, I hope that you understand now that this vaccination campaign is paid by French government for French people and their spouses-husbands, even if they are not French ; it's not a question of " firsts for foreigners "

There is also a question to ask here : could it be that the French embassy arranged their own supply of vaccines to be shipped from abroad, in which case all that noise about "the Thai gvt favouring foreigners" becomes irrelevant? I could well imagine that embassies could do that, with the assent of the Thai gvt of course.

Situation Sept. 18 2021

 

In Europe, four (4) vaccines have so far been authorized by the European Commission after approval from the European Medicines Agency (EMA):

• German-American Pfizer / BioNTech on December 21,
• American Moderna on January 6,
• Anglo-Swedish AstraZeneca / Oxford on January 29,
• American Johnson & Johnson developed by its subsidiary Janssen on March 11.

They immediately obtained market authorization from the French National Authority for Health.

As I understand, the vaccine comes from France, of course in accordance with the Thai government ( French embassy is doing a good job ) 

I have an appointment for 22 th of October and later my Thai wife

EU countries have been using Covid-19 vaccines since Jan 2021.

In comparison, Thailand didn't score that well re. Covid 19 vaccination.

 

Therefore, some foreign governments stepped in by giving free vacc to Thailand and organizing their own vacc events here in Thailand.

 

From mid-June 2021, France started to organizing vaccination for its citizens living in Thailand and, then, extended the program.

 

Sweden is restricting moderna to people over 30. Apparently it's dangerous if you are 29, but not if you are 30.

I also heard today that Thailand will offer moderna and AZ booster shots, like where is the rational for that? Does the Thai establishment have a clue? That's diabolical, totally irresponsible.

What a silly comment! Out of the 1.5 Mio doses donated by the US government (donation free of charge!), 1.35 Mio go to Thais, 0.15 Mio go to foreigners. Seems that yesterday in Udon Thani, hundreds of THAI students got Pfizer. Please stop your racist postings!

I guess some of our fellow forum members do lack the ability to read and, even more important, to understand what they read

 

lol

I got the first dose of moderna this morning in Bangkok hospital, Bangkok. Very well organised, very efficient and very proffessional. I will get the second dose on 8th of november, looking forward to it. So far no side effect for me and my wife.

Regarding Bangkok Hospital in Bangkok, the Hospital to go to is Bangkok Hospital International (next to Bangkok Hospital main building). When you arrive at the building, you just need to follow the signs.
