Private hospital, Public hospital, or the good old 7/11 ? I can pretty much guarantee you Pfizer/Moderna will be happening at hospitals because of the need to be super frozen when transported. All the other ones can be shipped/stored at regular fridge temperatures so those will be used at mass vaccination sites and maybe elsewhere at some point.

For shipping yes which is why they are shipped in special boxes in dry ice, usually directly from the factory to the location they will be used. For storage I believe they can be kept be at regular freezer temps for up to 30 days at the location they will be unthawed and used at. So more logistically challenging that the others but doable.

Even a government full of halfwits could sort that out. Oh wait…… They did Astra zinica made by a company owned by a certain family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In most cases I don't think much was actually ordered. The announcements were just placeholders, stalling until the local AZ showed up--apparently late and in lower quantities than expected. So, lots of articles along the lines of: the government was thinking about ordering... Or planning to buy... Or, I believe yesterday, expecting to procure... Lots of useless talk, talk, talk with very little in the way of action. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand does have a cold storage facility ready for the Pfizer/Moderna jabs. It's been built by Zuellig Pharma. https://www.nationthailand.com/perspective/40000344 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand expanded its capacity with a new cold chain room last year. Its total cold chain capacity now spans 4,070 square metres. All rooms are equipped with primary and secondary temperature alarms for enhanced product safety. https://www.zuelligpharma.com/news/news-zuellig-pharma-expands-cold-storage-warehouse-capacity-across-key-markets-in-asia-in-preparation-for-covid-19-vaccine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a company here granted liscense to make Astrazenica and so far has not been able to produce the large quantities it was supposed to. Has pushed back by a month some shots sold to Phillippines as they have not made enough for Thailand yet. To be expected as they have never made this before. I was being sarcastic.

mommysboy Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I'm not sure going with the JJ vaccine is really a good idea. The hard sell with the both vaccines is going to be the rare instances of blood clots. Just in case there is widespread rejection, you don't want to be replacing it with another that has the self same problem and is less effective anyway.

J&J isn't as good as Pfizer or Moderna, but it's advantage is only one jab! A big deal for many here who don't have transportation, have to work, etc. It's about as effective as AZ and probably better than the Chinese ones.

A big deal for many here who don't have transportation, have to work, etc. It's about as effective as AZ and probably better than the Chinese ones. It is billed as one jab yes. It's not nearly as effective as AZ for instance- the efficacy rate for AZ, Pfizer, Moderna was based on symptomatic infection, whereas JJ was based on moderate severity. What I mean is that a major problem with AZ is public disquiet about blood clotting- that's the problem with JJ too. (Maybe it's being resolved as we speak. I can imagine there's quite a bit of rejigging in both camps.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
