The approval makes it the sixth COVID-19 vaccine approved in Thailand, senior health official Paisan Dankhum said in a statement.

Popular Post koratkarlos Posted June 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2021 It is my understanding that the Pfizer vaccine is targeted for Thai children. Perhaps this is due to it being approved for youth but perhaps us high risk older folk could use it too. Can someone explain why the Pfizer will be given to the low risk group.

UK is going to use this jab a 3rd booster shot this autumn (northern hemisphere). 60 million more doses. If 3 shots are needed it will be the end of next year at this rate for Thailand.

The fact that they have chosen Pfizer is most probably either that it is the one that they can most easily obtain in the quantities that they require or they are following their earlier studies that showed that a combination of both the Pfizer and AZ vaccine offered even better protection? This tying in with the fact that in the UK, most high risk adults were given the AZ vaccine as it was easier to manage it in doctor’s surgeries etc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post club Posted June 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2021 Expects to receive it by the end of the year. Another lie just like the Moderna lie. Thailand is at the back of the order line on any of these vaccines. Many countries are ahead of them. 2022 is more likely 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
