[snoop1130]

 

BANGKOK, Aug 31 (TNA) – Zuellig Pharma, the local dealer of the COVID-19 vaccine by Moderna, has confirmed that delivery will start in the fourth quarter of this year for Thailand’s acquisition of 1,958,400 doses of the Moderna vaccine, according to the Government Pharmaceutical Organization.

 

GPO said that Zuellig Pharma wrote to it on Aug 30 that the 1,958,400 doses would gradually arrive in the fourth quarter of this year and 3,110,400 more doses of the Moderna vaccine would follow in the first quarter of next year.

 

Zueillig Pharma had closely followed up the vaccine supply with Moderna and was seriously pushing for the delivery to start in October.

Barely a drop in the bucket and it sounds like even those numbers and schedule are questionable.

Is this with metal fragments or without?

No idea as I am someone who thinks it is the single most ludicrous idea going other than maybe swigging bleach and trying to swallow a small UV lamp.

[Danderman123]

Let me guess: Q4 = December 31.

[Chris.B]

How will this be made available? 

[4MyEgo]

Let me guess, the Thai Red Cross will get first the 1st 1.1 million ahead of all who paid for it for October.

[Will B Good]

Originally it was 3.9 million Q4 2021 then 1.1 million Q1 2022.

 

This is going to cause a lot of distress to people who have been hanging on for the 'good' stuff.

[Dogmatix]

Is Moderna including the black specks of rubber that have been found in batches of Moderna in Japan and could make the needle break off in your arm?

[michael888]

"Seriously pushing " for a delivery in October?

 

Are we ordering a pair of sunglasses from Lazada?

 

Can we get a f#$ing date on this f@$kng delivery for f@#%s sake.

 

People have already paid for this product.

Sue them for fake news... for months they have told the people that in from October 5 million doses Moderna would come and people had to pay for it. Than the Red Cross needed suddenly 1,1 million doses, which were cut from the 5 million. Now the news is only 1,98 million doses will gradually coemt o Thailand and the 3,1 in the first quarter of 2022.. That is very stinky..misleading information

Youse wuz robbed

[MrJ2U]

Quite disappointed.

 

Crestfallen.

Reports of the GPO having the contract sitting on there desk for months.

 

Then the Red Cross sneaking in for a million doses without contributing any money, there just going to sell them at a profit.

 

They had enough pre paid orders to purchase 10 million but  got less than 5 million.

 

No reason other than it made the Astra Zeneca manufacturer look bad.

 

There is no rhyme or reason for these idiots.

 

Bafoons.

[Caldera]

Wasn't the plan to get 4 million doses in Q4? Now it's apparently just half of that and this is somehow presented as good news.

Especially those who paid for it two months ago, in the expectation of receiving it in October.

October 5 million doses Moderna

Originally it was to be 10 million, as 9.5 million paid for the October order, then it went to 5 million, then -1.5 million for the Red Cross... it seems to get less and less... soon it will disappear altogether and they tell us they will do us a big favor and substitute Sinovac

Microchipping will cost extra but at least if you are stolen your wife or girlfriend will be able to track your whereabout and have the police retrieve you.

What is also worrying about this , for those who have registered for it , is that even if you are lucky enough to get what you registered for , there is a distinct possibility that your second shot will not be available at the recommended time.

I registered on 1 June, even paid a couple of weeks later for both shots... but... after seeing how the things were going, took AZ. Lost faith that I'd ever get this Moderna. May still use it as a booster shot but wasn't willing to wait a year.

Mind you, I had nearly 900k queue from a single hospital (THG) and there were many more registered after me. So just THG needs more jabs than are being procured. This really is a drop in the ocean, especially because of how vaccines are to be distributed - 10,000 doses to each of 270 or so member hospitals, the rest evenly split among those that need more.

Meaning hospitals with million+ bookings will get just 1% or so of what they need. There are going to be some major disappointments seen.

And now, for the  brave coalition of Moderna fans, a just released paper shows that all mRNA vaccines are in fact not alike::

 

"with Moderna inducing antibody levels that were more than double that seen among people who received the Pfizer/BioNTech shot."

The first batch for the 4th quarter has already been sold out, probably oversold.  Hospitals were taking deposits for the first batch around a month ago.

 

There have already been registrations going on for the second batch for next year.

Double times nothing equals no vaccination.

 

When Moderna was first offered by some private hospitals in June payable in advance, covid-19 and delta variant infection/deaths was "nominal." Delivery date was projected as late October for 1st jab, 28 days later for 2nd jab. But quickly numerous covid-19 and Delta variant hot spots appeared and seemed unmitigatable by August. 

 

If you fall into the many covid-19 vulnerable groups, placing your life and health on timely Moderna delivery by the current government versus immediate available effective vaccines such as AZ and Pfizer (even with just the 1st jab) would not only be a foolish gamble but life-threatening. 

 

It's not 'brave' to wait for Moderna.

 

The government should prioritize Moderna as a booster following 2 previous different vaccination brands, ie., 6-8 months and continuing what appears to effectively rolling out the interim vaccines to further national strengthen herd immunity. I believe the government has begun using now Moderna as booster for medical workers - so not far fetched.

Unfortunately.

This is just simply more Thai bull---t. My wife and others l know, paid for Moderna some months ago for vaccination starting in August. It now looks like December at the earliest. Well done Anutin.

Impeccable math but you used the wrong formula.

 

I've already had AZ, and many friends and family who also await Moderna are also vaxxed. I don't know anyone who has snubbed vaccines.

 

My post was mostly encouragement for those facing a sea of negativity. Vichaiyut Hospital has started delivering coded coupons and instructions for reservations, mixing vaccines, and boosters. They said in writing the website should open early October. We have our coupons. Vichaiyut said they will receive 30,000 doses.

 

As for variants, check out C.1.2, with "an unusually high mutation rate and more mutations than other variants of concern (VOCs) or variants of interest (VOIs)"   here   So until the pandemic ends, I would stay focused on vaccine coverage. In Thailand that means persistence and not focusing on the negative.

It was the red rubber stopper broke off , needle broke it off but you knew that 

[internationalism]

the GPO has waited 3 months to sign this contract.

The first talk with moderna was just after songkran, contract signed end of July.

 

same story will be with pfizer
