Popular Post webfact Posted November 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 17, 2021 File photo The strongest indication yet from Thai officialdom about vaccination sends a strong message to anti-vaxxers or the unvaccinated. Get jabbed or be faced with being unable to do very much in public in Thailand. Senior Ministry of Health official Dr Kiatphoom Wongrajit suggested as much as he announced the latest figures for vaccination in Thailand. He said that those that had not been vaccinated would be sought out by moves originating in universities and medical arenas with provincial governors also spearheading the drive to get the job done. The message will be clear and contain a mild threat that if you don't have at least one jab you won't be welcome among the rest of people. Effectively you'll be a leper among the healthy. A big drive will be mounted to find the unvaccinated between November 27th and December 5th - Thai Father's Day. The authorities want to ensure that targets are met as soon as possible. So far things are going well, suggested Dr Kiatphoom with 100 million doses expected to have gone into arms by the end of November. Right now it's 85 million with 45.3 million having had one dose, or 63% of the population, 36.8 million two doses (52.1%) and 2.7 million three doses (3.9%). Now Thai media said that the CCSA target is those who have not been vaccinated at all with a strong possibility that doing much in public in Thailand will be impossible if you have not had at least one jab.

Popular Post Toolong Posted November 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 17, 2021 I don't wish to shift too much from the main issue here, which is essentially the possible imposition of restrictive & puntive social sanctions against those unvaccinated, but could someone just explain to me why I might be incorrect in thinking that if vaccinated people can still become infected with C19.....and if vaccinated people can still infect others with C19, why should it be assumed that UNvaccinated people are a particular risk to others? (A risk to themselves, yes.) It's a genuine query and I am happy to be shown up as having faulty logic or as being uninformed if that is the case. (I am fully vaccinated btw, but only cos I could see exactly this kind of s**t coming down the road.....and lo, here it comes.) 47 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry to hear that. We have similar here. Our adverse reactions were before coming to Thailand, so I'm honestly not sure about getting an exemption here. And even if we did, I'm wondering just how many would honor it. TIT 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still be infected with Covid 19 even though you are fully vaccinated. However your symptoms are likely to be much less severe than if you were unvaccinated. Unvaccinated people ARE a risk to themselves. If they choose not to protect themselves, this (these rulings) are a means by which the authorities can reduce the chances of unvaccinated people mixing with others and becoming infected. 14 5 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money lost? We had paid for Moderna and a number of other expats we know paid as well and this is on top of the thousands of Thai people who have also paid for Moderna just like we did. Most expats in Chumphon provence ended up getting the Pfizer jab thanks to the USA for free, greatly appreciated. My wife has just had a Pfizer jab two days ago thank you to the Thai goverment and other Thai people we know have had AZ in the past few days. We will try to use the Moderna as a booster if possible as no refunds will be given. 4 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
