BANGKOK (NNT) - Dr. Chalerm Harnpanich, the president of the Private Hospital Association (PHA), said Moderna COVID-19 vaccine doses will be arriving in Thailand early next week (November 1).

 

He elaborated that the jabs will be handed over to private hospitals and other institutions that placed orders on November 8 at the latest. The doses will be examined by the Department of Medical Sciences.

Dr. Chalerm also urged those who have placed an order to contact their hospital for further information.

 

The PHA has ordered more than 8.6 million Moderna vaccine doses in total, approximately 1.9 million of which will be delivered in December.

 

According to Dr. Chalerm, one million doses will be handed over to the Thai Red Cross Society and 100,000 doses each will be delivered to Ramathibodi Hospital and Siriraj Hospital, while the rest will be sent to other hospitals.

 

He said all 8.6 million doses will be delivered by March next year.

Remind me, what are the Thai Red Cross Society planning to do with their wedge?

 

How "uniform", for want of a better description probably the most apt, will be the distribution throughout all the provinces, and socio-economic groups?

actually it was a man in army uniform who demanded from the red cross handing over 1mln doses.

So they were stolen from the private hospital order. Payed in July in advance by over 9 mln patients

Moderna people suggest a second shot not before 28 days has passed from the first shot. I do hope 1.9 million more Moderna shots arrive before Dec 1st 2021.
