Zuellig Pharma Thailand’s general manager (GM) Sunaina Kitkasetpaisarn revealed to the press that Thailand’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has just approved the import of Moderna vaccines being produced in the United States to Thailand today after they had previously only agreed to import the vaccine from a European manufacturer.

mtls2005 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 The Company will gradually import the first lot of 1.4 million doses from the United States around the end of November to the beginning of December before delivering to the Government Pharmaceutical Organization (GPO) and the Private Hospital Association to complete the bookings of 1.9 million doses within the end of the year. These complement the ~ 560,000 previously delivered, and were said to arrive on/before the end of this month. Good news, hopefully there's enough for those who prepaid? My PoS for Moderna is up to 9,000 (people), with an update due today. Assume the TRC is taking some (23%?) of these though? Another ~ 6 mm on firm order for Q12022 delivery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has public opinion finally got to him about Chinese vacs? Okay, a good idea.! Where is the Pfizer coming from? They lost a million doses a short while ago. “Ditch your vaccine orders and come for vaccines from the government. Those who have ordered a Moderna vaccine but have yet to receive it, come to us and we will give you Pfizer instead.” https://thethaiger.com/coronavirus/cv19-vaccines/still-waiting-for-moderna-anutin-says-give-up-and-get-pfizer-from-the-government Where and when? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nordic countries restricted its use to those younger than 30 and recommend using the Pfizer instead https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/iceland-joins-nordic-peers-in-halting-moderna-covid-vaccinations-1.1663781 It should be pointed out that if the choice is between using Moderna or not getting vaccinated. it's a better bet to take the vaccine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And overstrained German health minister wants to push people to Moderna before the doses expire and have to be ditched. Done with another communication desaster ("rationing Biontech/Pfizer"). Too much press hype for B/P. I will happily take Moderna if it ever becomes available after paying months ago. Will be my "booster" after Sinovac/Astra.

Sydebolle Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 They approved Moderna TODAY? Give all those geeks at the health ministry and its self-confident bigwig a medal with the wish to keep up the good and very fast work .........

Approved in May Approved for 12-17 YO in September I think the article refers to the approval for import/shipment of this specific lot? Probably a thai paperwork thing. Moderna imports seem to warrant a great deal of "scrutiny", see the Poland donation to Thammasat. Meanwhile CRA gets "approval" in 24 hours, places sinopharm order on a Friday, receives product on a Monday. Amazing thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
