Rather than accepting advanced orders for Moderna, perhaps the emphasis should be on fulfilling the orders already taken (and paid for)!

Can individuals still get vaccinated if they need to?

So could an organisation such as Asean Now purchase vaccines for its members?

I think the booster might be half dose and may not include the jab cost ??

unfourtantly no. it states 0.5 dose, which is the standard.. The Government purchase agency set the prices for the private hospitals.

Okay, then could a group of people get together and form a 'Vaccine club' and then order?

I was just thinking that. 3500 THB or whatever for vaccines that haven't even turned up. I mean, we all knew it was a scam anyway, but at least we can now put a number on the scam.

CRA seems to be lowering the price of Moderna based on giving a half dose which was approved by the US FDA for people who have received two shots of Moderna.  But CRA will give it to people who received two shots of Sinopharm which is obviously not supported by any Western regulators because none of them have approved any Chinese or Russian vaccines.  So this seems uncharted territory for Thailand.  CRA earlier initiated Sinopharm vaccinations for 12-17 year olds but the Thai FDA announced, after at least 2,000 shots had been administered to school kids, that the Sinopharm importer's application for approval for 3-17 year olds had been rejected due to lack of supporting information.  The vaccinations were halted.
