How can expats in Thailand access the COVID-19 vaccine?
Does anybody have any idea about how expats will be able to get the vaccines when they are available in Thailand?
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.

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.

All ladies working in the bars, massage shops, all types of work in hospitality are Essential Workers ... in my opinion ... they should get it first, then us blokes

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

@Ian ****
Sure there will be private hospitals willing to profit from sale to well funded “Frangs”. My insurance will cover 💯 percent out of pocket costs.

The question should read "which vaccine"?

@Tom *******
Will have to see which ones are approved. Martin ***********
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.

No such thing as a herbal vaccine. Darwinism will deal with idiots

ha ha ha herbal vaccine is an oxymoron. Vaccines by their nature are biological.

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

Will the vaccine ultimately available in Thailand offer protection from virus strains in the West and vice-versa?
Jon ********
@Daniel ******
your asking facebook this question! do some basic researchDaniel *******
@Jon *******
FB is research! Best source. Science and rationalism are passé in the new world order.Dianne *****
It has previously been announced that the vaccine available in Thailand (free for Thai citizens)will be the Astra Zenica/Oxford one. The same as that being given now in the UK
Chris ************
@Dianne ****
I think that was put off by UK and Australia. Had bad results, even something to do with false positive, also something with Hiv. Not sure.
