What would be that count, once Sinovac inoculations are isolated? Given that sinovac recipients have to get other jabs, assume that is the valid number? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nattaya09 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 They should be at close to 60% by December and 70% by Jan if they keep up the current pace. After that, unvaxed demand will wane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfd101 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 My b/f and his cousin & cousin's g/f - all resident here in Surin - have just received free Pfizer jabs at Buriram stadium. First jab for my b/f & cousin's g/f, 3rd jab for cousin (after 2 work-related Sinovacs earlier in the year). These were walk-ins, not appointments. And earlier in the year Buriram - one of the more progressive & energetic Isaan provinces - was giving Sinovac jabs only to locals. Now seems to be open slather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that low value that they are now recognised and accepted as entry into the UK. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/travel-updatenew-guidance-for-people-vaccinated-under-who-emergency-use-listing-and-under-18s Don't listen to all the xenophobic nonsense.

Yeah i just concerned at having to continually be re-vaccinated with mRNA vaccines.

Surely at that pace we should be getting there soon! It's a higher vaccination rate than the UK during their vaccination drive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. We can all rightly criticise Thailand for being slow to begin vaccinations (although the reasons are much more complex than the anti-everythings on here would believe). But since they started they have done incredibly well, outpacing the UK when it was at its peak, even hitting over a million doses a day on occasions. Credit where it is due - very efficient, very well organised. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aguy30 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) 82,109,881 doses sounds more impressive, but only 41,798, 684 people have received 1 or more doses. 4,165,792 people have received only 1 jab = 4,165,792 doses 34,955,587 people have received 2 jabs = 69,911,174 doses 2,677,305 people have received 3 jabs = 8,032,915 doses 82,109,881 Total doses for 41,798,684 people (approx 58% of the population have 1 or more doses) Still 29,000,000 who haven't received any vaccination.

My wife registered with Vibhavadi Hospital and getting her shot tomorrow. I hope she will get her shot soon. Cheers. Thanks. Udon Thani. We missed the first LOT by 300 doses. My friend gave my wife his Vibhavadi dose. December 14th. We're going to make it a little Holiday as its 9 hours by car. Thats OK as we at least have an appointment. Great for your wife and yourself.

I'm all ears. Far more people in Thailand received AZ than any other vaccine (by a long way). I got it, my wife got, all my friends, all my staff got it. My kids just got jabbed with Pfizer. But if you're happy taking the risk of being unvaccinated for several months because of a pathetic fear based on nothing so be it. Can't blame you. Hopefully were all safe in the long run. Be safe.

kiwikeith Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 16 hours ago, Danderman123 said: 70 million doses were Sinovac. My wife was talking to the mother in law who works at the Dragon Market in Hua Hin, she stopped working a few days ago as two people collapsed, while working at their stall from covid. That scarred her, so she has now had her first vaccine , first shot sino and the second will be Astra, that seems to be the way they are vaccinating Thai. She is staying home now, and she said the owner of the market will not shut it down, as she will lose to much money, even though it now seems the market workers are infested with Delta. So, if your shopping in Hua Hin a good place to avoid will be the markets as probably same will be happening, I know the fresh market was closed for spraying but might be open again now.

I obviously don't KNOW other people's thought processes, but the rumours, which I assume you heard / read, were that the "Sino" vaccines, being Chinese were untrustworthy or useless based on the fact that "Covid came from China, therefore....." I know at least one Thai person who, along with her friends, believed the Chinese were out to kill them...same as some people believed that Bill Gates was out to inject a 5G chip into us all. That and the fact that the "Sino" vaccines were not initially approved in the West. I had my doubts about them, based simply on the fact that there were only bad stories told, no good ones. So purely IMO that's why some people refused them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They read and listen to too much rubbish in the media and places such as this. No one is staying it is the best out there, far from it, but it does the job hence why the sharp fall in new cases/ deaths across the country and particularly in highly vaccinated areas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
