GOOD NEWS, once Thais are vaccinated foreigners will be next, ahead of homeless people, tramps and the like. Announcement today on TVF. Remember this is the Health Minisdter whose firt thing when in office was to increase the fees for foreigners by 4 times. Good to see that he thinks of the thai budget.

In the mean time I've got a note from the Netherlands Embassy and same is also on their FB page. "Dutchmen outside the Netherlands, thus also those in Thailand, will need to apply to vaccine programs in the country they reside. the Netherlands Embassy is in close contact with Thai authorities. ... The expectation is that Thai private hospitals will also offer vaccination for COVID-19 (at a price to be announced). At this moment it is not possible though to say when this program will start. ..." The note ends with recommending a Bangkok Hospital webpage as very informative. www.bangkokhospital.com/en/content/know-well-before-getting-the-covid-19-vaccineSo dutch women are immune.

Thank you for drawing my attention to that faux pas of the Embassy. Surely such blatant discrimination is to be condemned. Mind you, checking the original Dutch text and my translation, we went from "Nederlander" to "Dutchmen". Strictly speaking we have Nederlanders en Nederlandsen, but in modern language use maybe "Nederlander" is now how you identify anyone with Netherlands citizenship. BTW the latest in the Bangkok Post has a few interesting details. It's almost as if they suggest not to trust your family. "Nineteen fatalities had hypertension. Other chronic diseases among the new death cases included diabetes, high cholesterol, renal disease, heart disease, liver disease, lung disease, cancer and obesity. Thirteen fatalities contracted Covid-19 from infected family members and relatives. Two joined events and parties. Three went to crowded places. Ten visited risk provinces and two others drove taxis. Sixteen death cases were men and 14 women. They were 15-85 years old. The youngest case had brain disability and was bed-ridden." www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2115675/30-new-covid-deaths-2-256-new-cases

For what it's worth or so. "MODERNA VACCINES TO BE AVAILABLE IN OCTOBER, WITH AN EXTRA CHARGE ... The Moderna vaccine, which was approved for domestic use Thursday by the Thai Food and Drug Administration, is set to be offered by private hospitals as a paid “alternative” to the government’s free vaccinations. Up to six million doses will be imported through a government channel on behalf of the private sector due to legal restrictions, the association said. “We have no intention of making profit out of it,” the Association’s secretary Paiboon Eksaengsri said. “The price is controlled by the government and it is set at 3,500 to 4,000 baht [per two doses]. We want the vaccines to cover as many citizens as possible.”" www.khaosodenglish.com/news/crimecourtscalamity/2021/05/14/moderna-vaccines-to-be-available-in-october-with-an-extra-charge/

And only a few days ago it was being reported the cost would be 3,000 baht. I guess that's inflation for you.

The article from the KhaoSod was the first I saw which explicitly stated a price for BOTH jabs. All before didn't. BTW good news for those living in Buriram province. "Buri Ram makes Covid vaccinations compulsory Authorities in Buri Ram have issued an order requiring everyone in the province to be vaccinated against Covid-19 or risk being fined or jailed for up to two years. The order came from the governor, Thatchakorn Hatathathayakul, who chaired a provincial communicable disease committee meeting on Friday. To prevent further virus transmission and help public health officials manage the vaccination drive, people aged 18 and over who live or work in the province must assess their risk of Covid-19 infection with village health volunteers, or via an online system or through a vaccination coordinating centre before the end of this month. Disease control and public health officials will have the authority to force at-risk people to be vaccinated, as well as set dates, schedules and places to administer Covid-19 vaccines to them." www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2115995/buri-ram-makes-covid-vaccinations-compulsory

Just read that in the Netherlands 7 million COVID-19 inoculations have been done. Most only first shots, I think. At the moment an average of 180 people get jabbed per minute. An average of 131.643 per day over the last seven days in the active period of 08:00 to 20:00. I guess between 20:00 and 08:00 the next day people like to stay home

It can't be any fun having your finger in a dyke all the time.
