TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion centers around how expats in Thailand will be able to access COVID-19 vaccines once they are available. Comments suggest that expats may need to pay for the vaccine or utilize their health insurance, with some indicating that private hospitals will offer the vaccine for a fee. There is also debate regarding the types of vaccines available and concerns about the safety and efficacy of both pharmaceutical and herbal alternatives. Additionally, several comments highlight the vaccination schedule, indicating that frontline workers and vulnerable populations in Thailand will be prioritized initially.

Are you sure you want a vaccine. This is a Thai doctor.

Face book have put their rubbish all over it, but if he's not taking it, why should I. YouTube has banned it, but you can get the truth on Rumble.

Thailand have stated they will vaccinate 50% of their population. We as foreigners will have to go private as we should.

Walk in to a hospital, ask for the vaccine, give them some money or your insurance details, and enjoy.

Don't want or accept pharmaceutical vaccine until proven entirely safe and time trialed.

I notice Thailand working on a herbal vaccine which sounds better.

Everything I had read to date about the vaccine in Thailand indicates that vaccination won't commence until May 2021. Vulnerable and frontline workers first, general (Thai) population by the end of 2021
