How about they concentrate on getting all Thai's vaccinated first, then think about stupid schemes trying to make money.

Not the useless Chinese rubbish, I hope!

The authorities have already stated no bivalent vaccines in Thailand until earliest, second quarter 2023.

 

So will only be getting rid of  existing stocks of older vaccines.

Weird, while vaccines are nowhere to be found. Especially the Omicron versions.

Ageed.  I live in Pattaya; am supposedly on the programme but still looking for 2nd booster.

nice move to boost tourism from china, but vaccinations don't start working immediately.

Rather after several days and weeks.

Also they are usually 2 doses, with minimum  3 weeks between them.

Just introduce mandatory covid insurance for those coming from China and sell that insurance at airports.

 

Many countries have surplus of vaccinations with short expiry date and many were offering them free, including to Thailand (thailand have not replied at time to some of those offers). Many were wasted already in 2001. 

 

I think thailand is still manufacturing astra zeneca and production can be boosted, but again, most likely there is a large stock close to expiry

Thanks for that.  Pfizer?

I believe it was.... not certain though. Take Mrs unless you are confident in Thai.... or get her to go ask...(If you have one that is).

Just walk into Bangkok Hospital and buy one, Moderna I believe.

Thailand may offer free vaccines to all incoming foreign tourists under the latest policy initiative from Minister of Tourism and Sports Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn. The move comes as the kingdom contemplates the possible resumption of foreign tourism from China to Thailand while it still struggles to achieve anything like the visitor numbers and revenue generated in 2019

Madness.  Like closing the gate after the horse has bolted.
