The Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which is claimed to have been administered to a man by a private clinic in Thailand’s eastern province of Sa Kaeo, is suspected to have been smuggled from Cambodia, said Dr. Praphas Pookduang, the provincial health chief of Sa Kaeo province, today (Tuesday).

 

The man, who did not identify himself, posted on his Facebook page, claiming he had paid 2,800 baht for a Johnson & Johnson vaccine jab at a clinic in Sa Kaeo province because he could not wait for the Moderna vaccine, not knowing when it would be available. The message was reposted by a Facebook page followed by 3.3 million users.

 

Dr. Praphas said he ordered an investigation, which confirmed that the claim was true and the man was inoculated with J&J vaccine on October 16th.

 Very interesting - the choice for the majority was Sinovac or Sinopharm, however (for reference):-

 

Cambodia has almost run out of the Jansen Johnson & Johnson vaccine, received from the United States under the COVAX initiative. These vaccines were administered to some front liners, hill tribes, security forces in hard to access front line and border areas. Full report on link below.
