Bob20 Posted September 6, 2021 #52695 Share Posted September 6, 2021 In CM last week it was far from perfect also. Overcrowded, no physical distancing, no ventilation at all (as it was before the shopping center's normal opening time) and support staff walking between the crowd without facemask. But we got a jab, hope that's all we got. 2 Quote Link to comment https://talk.thethaiger.com/topic/4831-news-forum-pathum-thani-shopping-centre-apologises-after-overcrowded-vaccination-event-goes-viral/#findComment-52695 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted September 6, 2021 #52709 Share Posted September 6, 2021 This is what happens when nobody knows how to organize anything, it also does not help with a government that is basically a circus full of clowns who have no idea what to do. If vaccines had been ordered in sufficient quantities in 2020 everyone in Thailand would have be vaccinated by now but no, the government saw fit to delay the purchasing and now look at the shi* show.

Griff1315 Posted September 6, 2021 #52780 Share Posted September 6, 2021 It's the same scenario all over Thailand. Whenever they announce a vaccine roll out its packed out with virtually no organisation and definitely no room to use social distancing. So it's ok for a thousand or more people to be packed into a small area often standing shoulder to shoulder hoping to get a vaccine. Yet if you hold a private birthday party in Pattaya, Phuket, Chang Mai with a few bottles of that covid toxic alcohol then it's a super spreader and the fun police will get you. 4 Quote Link to comment https://talk.thethaiger.com/topic/4831-news-forum-pathum-thani-shopping-centre-apologises-after-overcrowded-vaccination-event-goes-viral/#findComment-52780 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stardust Posted September 7, 2021 #53207 Share Posted September 7, 2021 That happened because this superclowns and empty heads want people can no more go to the hairdresser or restaurant without vaccinated instead first contrate to organise a propper rollout and then talk about. Surly a hub of incompetent clowns and empty heads this government.

A1taff Posted September 7, 2021 #53338 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I had my first Pfizer vaccine in Udon Thani a couple of weeks ago and I have my 2nd on the 15th, it was very well organised. Today we had news 1 person who had travelled outside my village was tested positive, usual paranoid panic amongst the locals but the local leaders have been great again in organising testing, shame no vaccine generally available for general population :-( 1 Quote Link to comment https://talk.thethaiger.com/topic/4831-news-forum-pathum-thani-shopping-centre-apologises-after-overcrowded-vaccination-event-goes-viral/#findComment-53338 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted September 7, 2021 #53405 Share Posted September 7, 2021 The solution to overcrowded vaccination events is having a booking system. You book a time and be there at your allocated time. It works very well in my country. It helps planners know what demand is and having enough vaccines available to meet that demand. If demand is exceeded, people don't get a booking, but their details are saved for the next round. It saves them waiting unnecessarily (which frustrates people enormously). It also means people aren't congregating and spreading the virus.
