THG is taking Moderna reservations again.

This is to show interest in Moderna for the 1st quarter (Jan-Mar) of 2565 (2022); it's not for their recent Oct-Dec 2021 first offering.  

 

Although I got my 1st jab of AstraZeneca in late June and my 2nd jab of AstraZeneca is scheduled for late September (both jabs provided free by Thai govt) I still submitted to THG I was interested in their 1st quarter 2022 Moderna offering (if it materializes).   

 

Since I had submitted my interest in May 2021 during their 1st Moderna offering but never paid because I got AstraZeneca instead in late June, when you start the form for the 2nd Moderna offering you earlier info is already completed (i.e., name, passport number, date of birth, etc)....you just complete a few more basic things like if you have one of key medical conditions/obese, and then hit submit.   

 

And then just like the first time you get confirmation of submission and a queue number.  My queue number was 2,26X,XXX....yeap, way over 2 million.  Ditto for the wife's submission.  No payment required at this time...this is just to show interest.   I'm assuming that queue number also includes all the people who expressed interest in THG 1st offering also and not just 2nd offering folks.   

 

As mentioned earlier, I've already got jab 1 of AstraZeneca and jab 2 scheduled for late September.  However, I may be interested in getting some Moderna jab(s) in early 2022 as that would be 3-6 months after completing all the jabs of another vaccine (i.e, AstraZeneca).   Get Moderna as a "booster" shot/3rd jab--only get one of the two jabs......or maybe just get both Moderna jabs.  Get two complete COVID vaccines into my body....see if I grow tail or third eye from one or both vaccines.

 

P.S.  The wife and I happened to be at a THG hospital today...the wife had an appt for an annual check.  We asked a "doctor" if THG plans to offer Moderna next year......and the doctor's answer was it's still undecided.   Now I would "not" expect this doctor to know more than what THG tells its employees.  I expect THG is just testing the waters regarding a 2nd offering of Moderna....heck, unless the govt orders it for them like the govt reluctantly did for the first offering, a 2nd offering may never actually materialize.  But I do expect alternate vaccines like Moderna, Pfizer, and others to more easily available in 2022 once vaccine manufacturers clear-out BIG 2021 backorders and still want to continue selling their vaccine to anyone and everyone....start advertising "booster" jabs....and government surely become more supportive in obtaining vaccines any way possible.

I think quite a few other hospitals have begun assembling buyers for a second tranche of Moderna.

 

Seen reports here, and on FB. I've been marketed to by at least two hospitals (not THG) on LINE in the past few days.

 

One assumes this is being led by the TPHA.

 

The first tranche was a rip-roaring success; most hospitals plan to start communicating appoint dates in October as of this week.

 

Having a private-paid vaccine solution is win-win-win. More people vaccinated sooner, more free vaccines for those who need them, government saves money.

 

Why the regime blocked this effort for 6+ months is beyond crazy; but they didn't want to be made to look bad, as if that requires any effort.

Below is a Google translated news piece talking the THG 2nd offering of Moderna for 1st quarter 2022.  Registration runs 17-20 Aug 2021....price per jab Bt1,650.   I expect all/many Thailand "private" hospitals composing the The Private Hospital Association (TPHA) are doing the same.

The Sukumvit Hospital began inviting applications on Tuesday (17th Aug) for registration for doses from the delivery due in the first quarter of next year.

However, it is with the proviso that the applicants be patients of their's and they also state that supplies were limited.

I expect over the coming week or two we'll start seeing news articles the private hospitals want the govt GPO to order another X-million doses of Moderna on the hospitals' behalf due to high customer desire (interest)....and since the first order of 5 million Moderna doses was not enough.

Are you assuming or have you seen something semi-official?  I'm signed up for the first Moderna tranche but all I'm told it is it is on order and will be here as originally scheduled.

 

If it is near October, I might skip my second AZ shot in September.
