    Mass vaccination program starts in June

    BANGKOK (NNT) - The number of COVID-19 vaccine shots available for the general public is still limited. The first group to receive the vaccine includes medical personnel, people working in risk areas, the elderly and people with underlying diseases. Members of the public will begin to receive the vaccine in June.


    Dr. Amorn Leelarasamee, President of the Medical Association of Thailand, as a member of the Subcommittee on Management of COVID-19 Vaccination in Bangkok, has announced that the vaccination priorities in Bangkok place importance on medical personnel or persons performing duties related to COVID-19. Then, people in risk areas, the elderly and people with an underlying disease will be considered.


    People who want to receive the vaccine may have to ask a medical facility that has their medical records when they can get the vaccine. Dr. Woraya Leungorn, Director of the General Communicable Diseases Division, said this week that there is currently a limited volume of vaccine available, so vaccinations must start with groups most at risk. As for the general public, they may have to wait for the next phase. She confirmed however, that everyone will definitely be vaccinated.


    Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha has confirmed that the government now plans to comprehensively provide vaccines to Thai people. The government will pay for the vaccine. It has also recommended the use of an application for the registration of vaccination requests, and for appointments at an injection site for greater convenience. There may also be schoolchildren or students who have to go to study abroad and need to be vaccinated first. Those who don’t have a smartphone should contact the nearest hospital, a subdistrict hospital or a village health volunteer to register for the vaccine.

    I could have got a Sinovac jab today if I had been younger. (60 and under)
    I am registered at the government hospital who will Line me in June when they get the AZ vaccine.

    Not everyone is in the position to be able to choose vaccine like you, I'd also like to get the Pfizer jab but I would have taken the Sinovac now that Thailand is opening up for visitors and Bangkok with surroundings has an uncontrolled covid spread.
    It has already reached Phuket and you can only guess what will happen on Samui when the Bangkokians arrive here for Songkran celebrations.

    I'm a beggar, not a chooser..

    I'm not blaming the people that can't get vaccines you chump.

    I'm blaming the fucking morons that didn't order some when it was obvious that they would become available.

    They are in charge of a complete shit show.

    They would rather keep their snouts in the trough and trouser the cash than - god forbid - spend any of it helping the poor people.

    I don't quite think you understand the reason why the government did not order stocks months ago, you ignoramus.

    Still, the effrontery of a moron such as you calling someone else a 'chump' did provide some amusement.

    Given recent evidence it seems that Sinovac is a better choice than the AZ vaccine.

    Problem is, Thailand is playing too many games at the same time. They have a license to manufacture the AstraZeneca vaccine here, so obviously they would rather not import large amounts of it. They also have their own, home grown candidate vaccines (at least a couple) that are in various stages of development. A big vaccination program with imported vaccines would wipe that out.

    Obviously with both strategies there are big bucks potentially at play, and, as always, follow the money.

    The problem is "who" is going to manufacture the Astra authorized vaccine here?

    Just how statistically significant is this link to clotting and deaths so far VS your potential protection against COVID mortality offered by Sinovac, back up your statement, except you can't as usual just bile spiked bluster from you.

    You oafs really do represent a challenge.

    All the vaccines pretty much offer the same protection against the need for ICU hospitalisation and ultimately death. They do however differ in the degree that they minimise development of symptoms after infection ranging from 55% to 85% immunity depending on trial response and the varying strains that may be endemic in the course of study.

    AZ is different and can cause aberrant clotting leading to death.

    This affects younger people.

    Countries are now re-considering its use among the under 30 cohort.

    So far this does not affect Sinovac.

    QED, Sinovac is a better choice.

    You gormless idiot.

    No way on the ChinkoVax. They probably gave it away as its old or were first run experiments. You are better off staying as you are. Wait for the "Real" stuff.

    Numbers for Germany, 30 cases, 10 dead with over 2 million people vaccinated. AstraZeneca was initially given to young people only, so the numbers are higher than elsewhere, where they were given to mostly elderly. Death rate decreasing with knowing the problem and how to deal with it. Excluding the young still makes sense as long as there are alternatative vaccines. But even the highest recorded risk is much better than the risk of Covid infection.

    I am older and chose immediate vaccination with AstraZeneca over waiting a month for Biontech. Which was by the way developed in Germany by a married couple of Turkish scientist entrepreneurs.

    ^ I got the AZ too and was happy to get vaccinated. The risk is very minimal, nothing is zero risk, just SeekignArse being an arse as usual.

    I fully understand it. That's precisely why it's a shit show.

    And if the virus spreads it opens the door to new variants that may not be stopped by any vaccines, you witless, drooling simian.

    And if you want to get Sinovac ahead of Vaxzevria, fill your boots. If brain damage is a possible side effect, you're safe.

    Of course the fact that the chinkies have released absolutely no data on the side effects of their noxious, unsafe rubbish hasn't occurred to you, because you have the intelligence of a mentally deficient gnat.

    Although I have posted that while antibody results from Pfizer are in the thousands, Sinopharm is in double digits at best.

    But that won't concern you, because you're an idiot.

    There is no evidence of a causal link between blood clots in the recently vaccinated in the general population.

    However, the fact that clinicians are now looking for blood clots after vaccination makes people who may be vulnerable to them anyway actually safer, because they are easily treated.

    This of course does not occur to witless old fools like SA who split their time between counting turds floating past the balcony of their boyfriend's condo and trying - but failing - to comprehend long words on google searches.

    ^agree. Seeking ass has his head firmly lodged up his rectum. I personally would not trust a goddam thing on the Chinese vaccine, and certainly not any data that they produce on either efficacy or side effects.

    ...^agree: when the private hospitals start selling vaccines, I'll buy the western-produced jabs...nothing Russian or Chinese: those are for peasants whose continued good health isn't uppermost in the minds of local authorities...

    EU drug regulator: Unusual blood clot is 'very rare AstraZeneca side effect'
    Published10 hours ago

    What did the EMA find?
    There were two main elements to its report - the link with blood clots and how this could affect vaccination programmes.

    The EMA had concluded there was a "possibility of very rare cases of blood clots combined with low levels of blood platelets occurring within two weeks of vaccination" with the AstraZeneca jab.

    Most of the 86 cases studied in the European Economic Area (the EU, Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein) up to 22 March were in women under 60. Eighteen were fatal.

    But EMA executive director Emer Cooke said there was no available evidence of "specific risk factors such as age, gender, or previous medical history of clotting disorders".
