john thom Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I think last month it was stated that Thailand will not order anymore Sinovac once it's supply runs out-(end of October). Has there been any news online, or government release information. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackdd Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 In Chiang Mai you can still get Sinovac+AZ, so it either hasn't run out or they ordered more. But from the last announcements it looks like they are mainly going for AZ+Pfizer in Chiang Mai now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boedog Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I'm sure Grandmaster Prayut will do whatever China wants if they have more sinovax they want to get rid off he will gladly except 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week when the family enquired they had to accept sinovac + AZ. Yesterday when they enquired (and booked) they were offered AZ + Pfizer. Thus we would assume it's the end of sinovac. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ+ Pfizer are for students only. It would be nice if they would reverse this crazy system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJ2U Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I think there just waiting for the free Sinovac that they'll be giving out with WHO's covax program. "Gavi signs agreements with Sinopharm and Sinovac for immediate supply to COVAX" https://www.gavi.org/news/media-room/gavi-signs-agreements-sinopharm-and-sinovac-immediate-supply-covax I can't see Thailand passing up anything free even if it's broken.

Nor should they, Sinovac is an effective vaccine against hospitalization and death , with tens of millions of Thais still unvaccinated. Why wouldn’t they use it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prchunter Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 If you look at the break thru infection numbers in China vs. break thru infection numbers in US and UK, Sinovac starts looking pretty good. Unfortunately, most people don't trust or want to understand the numbers and would rather China bash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
