Thailand to import 10m doses of Pfizer Comirnaty vaccine for under 12s

[webfact]

 

Thailand will import 10 million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech Comirnaty vaccine after the Thai Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) approved its use in 5 to 11 year olds, said Deputy Government Spokesperson Rachada Dhnadirek today (Tuesday).

 

She also said that the vaccination program for children under 12 is not mandatory, but based on the willingness of the children and their parents to get inoculated. The vaccine will be administered as an intramuscular injection, which will reduce the amount of vaccine needed per dose to one-third of the amount used for children aged 12 and over.

 

Intramuscular injection also allows the vaccine to be absorbed into the bloodstream quickly. Young children will be given two doses, 21 days apart.

Leave the kids alone!

Exactly.

 

Let's just throw away decades of medical progress, mostly led by Rama 9, with standard vaccines for new-borns, children.

 

Sheesh, who doesn't miss Diphtheria?

 

Just to be clear, vaccinations of 12 and under would require approval of a parent.
