So fake headline

62.7% is not more than 70%

 

Also I assume this does not cover "non-residents" whose Thai ID is still showing their home village in (eg) Issan.

But I do not know

All good until they start opening everything and people return for work up country who may not be vaccinated. Percentage will drop for sure unless they bring in vaccine passport to work in the tourist industry.

If they were to do this, there would be no tourism industry until well into 2022.  

I suspect fudged numbers again.

Not only that, 70% percent is no longer some magical number.

 

Everyone needs to be vaccinated to conquer this virus because of breakouts.

 

Also anyone taking the Chinese vaccines longer than 4 months ago is very susceptible to getting COVID-19.

Did you read the whole article?

 

Further down it says:

Yesterday (October 27^th)  13,567 people in Chonburi have received a Covid-19 vaccine which is now in total 3,043,737 people who have had a vaccine in Chonburi at a total estimate of 71.09 percent of the entire Chonburi population, according to the MOPH.

 

If you count non-residents, the vaccination rate is even higher (it is in the article).

 

Pattaya (where most tourists will be going in Chonburi), is even higher.

Yeah, 90 percent should be the goal and that's the entire population not only registered locally. 

Fourth months out should still provide good protection against hospitalization and death.

That's the important part, protection against infection is secondary.

Vacinated means 2 (TWO) shots not one. The "article stated less than 70% with TWO (1+1) shots.

To yes I read it - did you?

 

Blah Blah

I don't think Thailand is ready for opening.

 

I don't trust the numbers they say have been vaccinated on top of total distrust of the Chinese vaccines and there ability.

 

It's going to be an interesting month or two to say the least.

 

I'm dying to go on holiday also but not literally.

 

I'm vaccinated with Pfeizer but still waiting on my wifes Moderna.

 

Enjoy your weekend!

I agree, but this will take several more months, and by the time that achieve that goal, effectiveness has worn off for those that were vaccinated first, so they will require boosters, especially those with the Chinese vaccine.  

 

Thailand may not be able to get ahead of the virus with their current vaccination program. 

 

They will probably need more resources to give boosters before people lose vaccine protection.

My impression is that the government here has considered  70 per cent good enough. I see no evidence they're even trying for higher. Keep in mind there are anti vaxxers here too.

Yes, it seems that way, which may come came to bite them.  

 

70% appeared to be acceptable in 2020 when the virus was first discovered, but now with Delta, and subsequent variants, 70% appears to be too little of the population vaccinated.
