Popular Post snoop1130 Posted November 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2021 BANGKOK (NNT) - Thailand is on its ninth day of having officially opened up to international tourists. More than 80 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been administered, placing Thailand at the 18th spot among countries and territories with the highest number of doses administered. The Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) today disclosed the five provinces with the highest percentages of people who have been fully vaccinated. Bangkok came in first with 87.5%, followed by Phuket with 79.6%, Chonburi with 71.8%, Samut Prakan with 60.8%, and Phang Nga with 59.9%. These high percentages are thought to be the reason for the decline in new infections in Bangkok and Samut Prakan. The responsible agencies are currently accelerating vaccination in the ‘Blue Zone’ tourism pilot provinces where some Covid restrictions are being eased. Nong Khai remains the only province within the Blue Zone where vaccine coverage has yet to reach 50%, although the number is getting close. Nong Khai currently has 48.7% coverage in general and 66.4% coverage for senior citizens. The coverage rate has recently reached 50% in Udon Thani and Loei, which are also inside the Blue Zone. Udon Thani now has 51.6% vaccine coverage in general and 77.7% for senior citizens. Loei’s rate is 51.7% in general, and 67.4% for senior citizens. The CCSA is encouraging the rapid pace of vaccination to be maintained in Blue Zone provinces that have already met their coverage targets, saying that Bangkok and Samut Prakan were proof that high vaccine coverage among groups at risk of severe COVID-19 symptoms results in greater safety for people in the respective areas by reducing infections as well as deaths. Provinces with relatively low vaccination rates include Nong Bua Lamphu, Nakhon Phanom, Mae Hong Son, and Sakon Nakhon. The CCSA noted, however, that the focus in these provinces had been on senior citizens and people with chronic diseases. Meanwhile, the CCSA has expressed concerns over the Kathina ceremonies that will be held around the country this month and noted that there have continually been reports of people infected with Covid attending funerals. The center continues to urge people to exercise caution and observe Covid prevention measures. -- © Copyright NNT 2021-11-09 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimHuaHin Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I posted on Facebook yesterday, when this story was released, look the the maths!!! Thailand's population is about 70 million people - this includes about 11 million Thais aged 0-14 (who are generally not vacinated, yet), but it excludes all "aliens" in Thailand, most non-Thais born in Thailand, foreign workers (legal and illegal) and expats, who number maybe 5 million people. But note also, about 1 millions Thais have received 3 shots of the vaccine - including most health workers and many military personnel, as well as some of the rich and powerful. 80 million vaccines administerd, means the average Thai has received about 1.1 shots; and millions in Thailand still without even the first shot (why all the COIVID clusters in factories and construction sites employing migrant workers?). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These high percentages are thought to be the reason for the decline in new infections in Bangkok and Samut Prakan. Something is incorrect with either this number, or the numbers issued by MOPH. 80 M doses is a single dose for all the population with 10 M receiving a second Dose. Or 40 M ( 56 % App ), of the population receiving 2 Doses. Does not Compute, when you read the above numbers. This can only mean there are vast numbers of people still without a single dose.

I'm sorry, if you decide to pick and choose your vaccine - and you're picking one that isn't readily available in this country - then you have no right to complain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People certainly have a right to complain about the lack of availability of Moderna. Many have paid for it. And the regime seems intent on delaying its use for as long as possible.

Even when they paid for it it was always months away and it was the consumer's risk to make that choice when a national vaccination campaign is ongoing, free, and vaccinating hundreds of thousands of people a day, mostly with AZ. If you chose not to be a part of that then you have no right to moan about it in my opinion. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
