Is Novavax vaccine accepted for Test and Go?

 

Can't find the answer anywhere, anyone know? Thanks

Thailand now recognises 8 vaccines as valid for entry into the kingdom:

• AstraZeneca (Vaxzevria, Covishield)
• CoronaVac (Sinovac)
• Covaxin
• COVILO (Sinopharm)
• Janssen (Johnson & Johnson)
• Moderna
• Pfizer-BioNTech (Comirnaty)
• Sputnik V

For those that received a vaccine cocktail where 2 vaccines are mixed, the amount of time between doses that is accepted depends on which brand of vaccine they received:

• AstraZeneca – second dose after 4 weeks
• Covaxin – second dose after 4 weeks
• Moderna – second dose after 4 weeks
• Pfizer-BioNTech – second dose after 3 weeks
• Sinopharm: –second dose after 3 weeks
• Sinovac – second dose after 2 weeks
• Sputnik V – second dose after 3 weeks

Pretty horrible now Europeans fully vaccinated from the vaccine Novavax have to do a 10 days quarantine in Thailand. ???????? Keen to know when Novavax will be accepted in Thailand? Example in Phillipines it is already.

Probably when the WHO approves it.

I wonder if the company producing Novavax has submitted the paperwork for it to be approved here.

But has the company making Novax applied to the Thailand CDC for approval and use of it? I suspect that is the real problem now.

Not through any official channels that I can find...

 

You can follow up with the Thailand FDA (not CDC)

Here's a great webpage showing what's approved and under trial in Thailand:

https://covid19.trackvaccines.org/country/thailand/

 

And from the same website about Novavax...  Approved in 36 countries (Thailand will catch up some day...).

This is an interesting article.  A Korean company looking to sell Novavax to Thailand and Vietnam.
