Donated Pfizer vaccine passed to Thai government on Monday, some medics eligible for shots

[snoop1130]

 

1.5 million doses of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, donated by the US government and which arrived in Thailand last Friday, were handed over to the Thai government this morning (Monday), with Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha formally receiving it from the US Embassy in Thailand.

 

700,000 doses will be allocated to frontline medical personnel, which means that not all will receive shots from this batch.

The Disease Control Department today defined who is eligible to receive the vaccine:

 

• Medics who have had two doses of either Sinovac or Sinopharm vaccines can receive a Pfizer booster dose.
• Medics who have had only one dose of any vaccine can get Pfizer as second dose, with the interval determined by the type of vaccine used for the first shot.
• Medics who have yet to receive their first dose can get two doses of Pfizer.
• Medics who have been infected with COVID-19 and have yet to receive their first dose of vaccine can get one dose of Pfizer at least a month after their infection was diagnosed.

In another words, maybe 700,000 to medics and mostly to military/government workers.
