BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given emergency use authorisation for the COVID-19 vaccine of Moderna Inc, an FDA official told Reuters on Thursday.

 

The vaccine is the fourth coronavirus vaccine approved so far in Thailand. Its use is valid for one year from May 13, Paisan Dankhu, the Secretary-General of the Food and Drug Administration, told Reuters.

    Great. But Australia has just secured an order for 25 million doses. Expected delivery? End of 2021 and into 2022. Thailand meanwhile hasn't even secured an order so the chances of it being here anyti

    Moderna developed in the most advanced country has to wait for Thailand to grant emergency clearance but Chinese garbage vaccine is widely available.  And they really believe that they’re intelligent 

  • This is the vaccine I will be ordering as soon as it's available.   If it's this year then that's nice, if not then I'll wait.

Unless Thailand can get it through COVAX.  Australia doesn't really qualify for COVAX.  Also, I'm sure for the right price Thailand can get it sooner.  I doubt they would be willing to pay it though.

Thailand only need 10,000 doses weekly sold for 5,000 baht a pop at private hospitals. 

Moderna is not for the average Somchai, he will have to wait for the local soup to be cooked up.

If we don't have any flip-flop statements,  we could see Moderna available in Thailand before the end of the month.

Are they not making this Moderna Vaccine here in Thailand? I’m pretty sure I read this a while back..

The more choices available for those of us that don't want what's on offer for free, i.e. the Chinese, Russian and AstraZeneca vaccines, then we will be willing to pay for them.

 

Hopefully it arrives sooner than later.

Means nothing until it's administered.

Just more empty rhetoric, Prayut should get vaccines in or get out of government house.

They've approved it, no mention about ordering any.

Just another PR spin announcement to big up the men in uniforms who could not organize a bang in a brothel. If this performance carries on there certainly will be an 'emergency' for the vaccine to be used in

Nothing is official on this forum - you need to follow the Gov web sites.

What exactly does “Approved for Emergency use” mean? Anybody? Bueller?

This is great news. They should all go out for a well deserved lunch to pat themselves on the back.

 

I wonder if these geniuses will get round to placing order before the end of the year? Probably not.

Wow! After all western countries has approved this vaccine for months already:) Anyway Thailand will make their own vaccine, as we all have heard. And anyway, a bit of ginger cures Covid anyways.
