I wonder what brought the misnamed Spanish Flu to an end in 1920. No vaccines in those days. They did use very crude masks.

I don't understand why there aren't vaccine 'factories' springing up all over the world as there is going to be a huge demand for vaccines in the long term. Of course there is enough money in private bank accounts here and abroad (!) to set up more manufacturing facilities as well as a public health service to put the UK's NHS to shame.

And today 2 more. Two children aged 8 and 9.

According to an email I received between the end of October and March 2020! BUT reports in the papers today that the government has done nothing so far to order Moderna.

Yes all in Thai -- there is a Thai/Eng button that does absolutely nothing.

Any idea Oz how to get registered in Bangkok? Thaiintervac not working. I live in Bangkok.

Today, I received an email invitation to register and pay in advance for a pair of Moderna vaccinations. End of October - March 2022! MedPark Hospital is accepting registration for alternative vaccine MODERNA (mRNA Technology) for 3,300 THB (2 doses), available for anyone aged 18 and above. Details, registration, and payment available here: https://medpark.hospital/Moderna The expected arrival date of the vaccine is approximately at end of October 2021 - 31 March 2022, as allocated by GPO.

Only a few years ago almost daily reports in the Post of Bangkok vocational students in shooting incidents on Bangkok busses. Haven't seen it for ages now.

Peter, have you considered looking closely into the background of the final Bangkok Pride a few years ago? You might find some explanations there as to why there have been no more. No rumour mongers please.

A chance to get a first jab would be nice.

Londoner - you do realise that the dictator here is affectionately known as 'Pinocchio'?.

Sorry, I meant not sold in restaurants and bars etc. If businesses are to close like the rest of Thailand at 8 or 9 then Phuket after dark will be a sad place.

Especially if the were still to be no alcohol.

Hear hear. Please keep at least this thread on topic. Let's know if any expats actually get real appointments (mine seems to be 1st of Jan. 1970) and jabs.

Well, some progress -- maybe. I followed a link (forget where from) that took me to a site where I could register online. Oh, it's called intervac. http://www.thailandintervac.com Amongst other things it lists there, vaccines (2 available now and 2 not). COVID-19 Vaccine Availability Updated on June 6th,2021 Sinovac (Available) AstraZeneca (Available) Johnsons & Johnsons Moderna On completing the form, I got this confirmation: VACCINE BOOKING INFORMATION Date 01 JAN 1970 Place - Time Status Wait for an email confirmation from oicddchotline@gmail.com Make of that what you will. As an aside, the spokesman on the CCSA daily bulletin just said that from today it is not possible for 'walk-in' registrations.. Wait and see I suppose.

No registration for private jabs yet. Email from Samitivej last night. Greetings from Samitivej Sukhumvit Hospital. We regret to inform you that currently we are not open for registration and COVID vaccine is not available at our hospital at this moment. We still do not have information on exactly when, which vaccine(s) will be available to us, how many doses we will be able to procure, or what the price of each dose will be at this point in time. When the information becomes clearer, we will be sure to keep you updated with the details. We thank you for your understanding and patience in the matter very much. Best regards, Thanarat Pichetsuntorn Samitivej Sukhumvit Hospital

Hmmm I don't see where I fit in as a P.R.

Legally AND illegally. The virus doesn't inspect visas.

The way that I understood the live statement was that within a week or two Thais will be able to drop in at malls etc. closely followed by farang, just as soon as the UK Track and trace Trace system has helped them set up a world beating app.

I have always wondered on all three boards if it would be possible to flag threads that have gone far away from the the original thread title. How annoying if one is, for example, looking for information on tourist zones with quarantine free opening to be confronted with lengthy discussions on monorail definitions and no way, without reading them all, to know if someone has hopefully gone back to the OP's meaning. This is only an example; all boards are guilty of this.

The price for a package of two shots of Moderna Covid-19 vaccine offered by private hospitals will be no more than 3,000 baht each. Full story https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2112411/moderna-package-likely-below-b3-000

You can usually see news items on Richard Barrow's pages (Thaivisa or Facebook) long before they appear on the B.P. site.

And today ----- This is on a Reuters website today hmmmmmmm, "Thailand plans to waive its mandatory quarantine for vaccinated visitors to its capital Bangkok and top tourist destinations from October, an official said on Friday, in a bid to revive a key industry battered by coronavirus travel curbs". https://forum.thaivisa.com/topic/1216343-thailand aims-for-wider-tourism-reopening-from-october/?fbclid=IwAR2ifgcwM5wvXE5cGACK23Hj6RYDriagEMP0OEb0C5e7v8lGjhLYPNxaGGY

Thaiger is reliably reporting TAT -- never use TAT and reliable in the same sentence.
