Popular Post webfact Posted July 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2021 REUTERS/Denis Balibouse 50 million more doses of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine and an unspecified amount of Moderna vaccine are likely to be purchased by Thailand, to address the continual surge in infections and deaths, according to Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul yesterday (Sunday). Mr. Anutin has assigned Thailand’s Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) Secretary-General Paisal Dunkhum to arrange meetings with representatives of the manufacturers of the vaccines already approved by the TFDA for procurement, especially the mRNA Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. The vaccine brands approved by the TFDA include Sinovac, Sinopharm, AstraZeneca, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer. Thailand is currently administering the first three.

Popular Post DLock Posted July 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2021 When you say 50 million more...what is "more"...you haven't got the first lot yet. And when you say "likely to be purchased", what does that mean? Purchase or not purchase? Surely "Mr. Anutin has assigned" would be better served by "Mr. Anutin has assumed all responsibility and will personally manage" And when you say "to arrange meetings with representatives of the manufacturers", does that mean you haven't met them yet, or you don't have them on speed dial? So many words that say almost nothing. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakatee Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 50 million doses more by Q4 or somewhere next year will surely lower the current outbreak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikke1959 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 an urgent letter he could write in 5 days.. Purchases of vaccinations will take at least 6 months with al approval, check, readings by lawyers, commissionars looking at it and other delays So probably for the second half of next year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, a lot of covid cases but look at the deaths... almost none. So far the UK is doing amazing. Sure, another strain might come out & avoid pfizer & moderna... but atm you gotta do what you can 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new2here Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I agree… there’s a lot of “expect to..” “plan to..” and “expected to..” in these types of stories. While I cede that this is a good beginning, given where things are now- today, what is needed is “has arrived”, “is currently being given…” and “is now being used at..”. those are the expressions that to me are the only ones meaningful right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
