According to that, expats are waiting until July to be able to register, and should start getting jabs in August. Unless you have a pink card, then you're already in the Thai healthcare system and can register now.
Oh, and according to that, vaccine suppliers won't sell to private hospitals, and will only sell to governments. Due to that, an arm of the Thai government will act as an agent for private hospitals and relay the orders the hopsitals place onto the vaccine suppliers. Who knows how well that will work.

Government officials are not elected in most countries - but governments are, and there was a general election (somewhat gerrymandered) in Thailand in 2019 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_T...neral_election

Do keep up Matt - a popular social media hashtag right now is by Thais who claim to want to emigrate to escape the Generals, the …g and a various assortment of the corrupt and the incompetent. You’ll recall something similar from Democrats vowing to emigrate to Canada when Trump was elected. Indeed there were so many such claimants you must have dozens in your own family’s social circle?

Here’s a link to a story about Thais who wish to emigrate - https://www.thaipbsworld.com/migrati...rys-direction/

Nah, my family are all a bunch of prudish conservatives from the oil patch. I'm the black sheep socialist out of the bunch. :)

Isn’t that employing both racist and employment based stereotypes?

I’d call it “TiT” or possibly “Amazing Thailand” - here’s the really really up to date, hot off the press announcement - “some day” - https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/...-jabs-someday/

Moderna vaccine will be available at private hospitals for 3,000 baht

Chalerm Hanphanich explained that private hospitals will be able to offer the Moderna vaccine via an arrangement with the Government Pharmaceutical Organisation who will get it from importers who will register with the Thai Food and Drug Administration.
What the fuck? So Moderna cancelled some shipments to Canada so they can send them to Thailand, or what's going on here? Dicks, I'm glad Moderna's full vaccine formula got open sourced on Github. If anyone wants, it's here: https://github.com/NAalytics/Assembl...-1273.docx.pdf
Next time you hear someone saying they're not sure about getting the vaccine because they're just not sure what's in it, send them that link. That's what's in it.

Here’s a graphical representation of vaccinations to date, remembering (unless you’re goji or Dodgems and incapable of reading past the headlines) that actual vaccinations aren’t due to start until mid-May with the local AstraZeneca facility (major shareholder A Certain Person) not due to start shipments until June. I think another delivery of the Chinese junk was “celebrated” yesterday.
