Oh dear this is looking serious now. Mind you the government has plenty of shipping containers available as they used them as defences around certain areas when the students were protesting but guess non of them were reefers which would be required. Mind you it is not saying much when a university say they are looking for them. 2 seconds on google came up with this

But does this place rent them for the right Thai price? They will be trying to get them for the cheapest rental possible.

Well may be cheaper to buy them if they need them long term which it looks like they possible will with very low vaccination counts. But the government will be paying anyway not the university hospital.

Well… even the non “superior” vaccines that are already in the market are almost impossible to get at this moment :/ so what are the options? Please do tell Thai government….

They will have to destroy them after as no one will rent a covid 19 refrigerated container and take it back. Just not going to happen.

I do not trust and can not advocate the acceptance of Sinovac or any other Chinese manufactured vaccine.  They have no quality control.  Basically worthless against B/D variants of covid.  I am not a Doctor, but I have read more than one disappointing report concerning the efficacy of that vaccine.  Sure, there are some problems with some of the other vaccines, but the numbers are way lower for Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna.  I am not a fan of J&J either, but again, from what I have read, even J&J “seems” to have a better track record.  Look, I am not, repeat NOT an expert or a medically train MD.  I am only sharing what I have read, watched, or seen first hand.  So please, do your own research, and at least try to make the most informed decision you can when choosing a vaccine if you haven’t gotten one yet.  My kids and I got the Pfizer vaccine and had zero problems.  No, I do not work for or hold stock in Pfizer.  
Just one guys opinion,

There are very many of us in Thailand who would just like the opportunity of getting any vaccine. Pfizer would be my choice currently given the reports but I'm sure others will be developed, just as good eventually
