Thailand launches long-awaited vaccination drive | DW News

Thailand has begun an ambitious vaccination programme in the midst of a third wave of new coronavirus infections. Millions of doses of locally produced AstraZeneca and imported Sinovac vaccines are expected to be given this month. The goal is to vaccinate about 70% of the country's more than 66 million people by the end of the year. So far only about 2% of the population has received at least one shot of the vaccine.

The definition of negligence is having information that could save lives but doing nothing with that information

I pray for Thailand to recover from this nasty coronavirus pandemic.

Last year most affected - EU, US
This year most affected -Asia
Next year maybe - Africa.. hopefully not

That's fine but where can Thais vaccinate abroad other than the US? Waiting 4 months between doses here in Thailand is not feasible.

[razgrizadler]

Although Thailand has the capability to vaccinate people as fast as US but it doesn't has enough vaccines and it won't be enough even with the locally produced AstraZeneca due to the complication and failure of the goverment making the majority of people stop trusting the gov. and the big issue here is politics.

Both the PRC and USA violated the BWTC and both should be condemned by
the UN General Assembly as well as the BW Convention organization.
Washington and Beijing are both complicit in violating the BW
Convention.

See if the media was hounding people and just left it to people wanting to get it leads to people minding their business lol

[jaabaadaabaaadoo]

I went to Serbia to get mine vaccine yesterday free of charge and without schedule 💪 few days of slight shoulder pain, that's all. Feeling great.

I'll correct Fredrick, cases over 1, 000 per day it's out of control already, only 3 places to get back to 0 from 500 or more daily cases is Wuhan, Singapore and Melbourne Victoria Australia.

I feel so sad for all those beautiful people who will be hurt by the vax.

[aryakomal]
