Popular Post John Drake Posted March 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) J&J. That is what I want. One shot and no more worries. Easy to ship, store, and distribute. Apparently, effective against existing variants. Edited March 2, 2021 by John Drake 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
internationalism Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 it would be for private hospitals, small quantities, max 50-60k per hospital chain, including their branches in provinces. good enough for medical staff and for some of the regular patients, but short to offer to the general public. Chance for foreigners, because thai are not likely to pay 6-10k per person. Maybe the breadwinners in the family can afford it, but not for everybody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mtls2005 Posted March 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2021 This seems like good news, so why am I skeptical? Local "interests" favor the AZ vaccination. Am hoping local private hospitals are lobbying hard for this so maybe it has a chance? 18 hours ago, John Drake said: J&J.

Sheryl Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Glad to hear it, hope Pfizer follows suit. And that Thai FDA expedites the registration process. Then we can finally see thsi available at private hospitals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
