Some of our teachers went to have their vaccine today. Like me, they registered on 13 May. However, unlike me they received an SMS yesterday for their appointment. The 26 foreigners, including myself, who registered on 13 May had their names removed from the queue.

[2] It may be the national policy to include foreigners in a vaccination scheme, but it seems to be a policy in *some* provinces that it is “Thais first”. If the aim is to make schools safe, why delay vaccinating the foreign staff? We are all in this together #Thailand #COVID19

The policy of “Thais first” is nothing to do with the schools. They want all of their staff to be vaccinated including the janitors. According to the LINE message we received, it’s our local health office who want to vaccinate the Thai teachers first. Foreigners will be later.
Since I tweeted about the “Thais first” vaccination policy of my local health office, many foreign teachers messaged me to say their school in Bangkok were told to remove their names. Same with foreign journalists. BMA told international news organisations it’s Thai staff first.
