Popular Post DavidSSaville Posted May 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2021 I would request people in the know list which private hospitals are offering which name brand vaccine. Please continue to update this list. I am biased toward the Covaxin but lt has not yet been submitted I believe to the Thai FDA so of course I believe it is not yet approved. 2 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post internationalism Posted May 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) it would be probably only moderna. Quantity and date was never mentioned, but price 3k baht. Sometimes ago hospitals were hoping to get it in august. Once approved by the fda, expected sometimes in May, the government will try to order, might be long waiting. but yesterday they have revealed that pfizer will be taxed by the GPO, so it well might also be sold by them to private or the government will charge for administering it (those, who don't want AZ, sinovac). Suppose to be 10-15 mln, but figures 5mln and 20mln also often mentioned. Also date unknown and not approved yet. So same story as moderna Edited May 13, 2021 by internationalism 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So same story as moderna My friends doc said he'd be lucky to get Moderna by the 3rd quarter. 4th quarter is more likely. This is from a big private hospital. We're stuck with Sinovac and AZ for quite a few more months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So same story as moderna Moderna stated it had contracts for more than 641.5 million doses to be made in 2021. It's largest contract is with USA -300 million doses. This contract must be satisfied by June 30 and has priority. This is one of the reasons why Moderna was unable to deliver the expected numbers of vaccines to its other clients. I read that it has back order of, 300 million+ doses. It uses contract manufacturers who are already working at full capacity. Moderna had previously said it was at full capacity output andcould put out at least 500 million doses in 2021. If the contractors can make expansion, the hope is for 1 billion dose by Q1 2022. Taking into consideration the back order and the already signed purchase contracts, why would anyone expect Thailand to jump in front of everyone else? Where is Thailand going to get Moderna vaccine before August, or even December? Who cares if private hospital can sell vaccine if there is no vaccine to sell? There is a growing consensus in North America and EU to send surplus Oxford Astra Zeneca vaccine to India asap. I can't see Thailand getting anything, except maybe the Oxford production from South Korea that would come from cancelled orders. Pfizer vaccine production is already purchased for 2021. There are priority contracts that are not yet satisfied with EU, Canada and USA. Canada paid more than other countries to get vaccine. I cannot see Pfizer canceling that order to send to Thailand who I believe are expecting Pfizer to "bid" for Thai supply contract. I think that if people want Pfizer or Moderna vaccine in the next 4-6 months at least, they will need to look outside of Thailand. If people are worried, go to home country to get vaccine.

I not too worried and am already registered with our private hospital in Chiang Mai. The reason they registered us locally was because we are classed as elderly.

dddave Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) I emailed Bangkok Christian Hospital, Bangkok yesterday asking if they had established a waiting list and if they had any plans to offer the Moderna Vaccine. I received the following reply this morning: " For the foreign residents in Thailand, we’re waiting for the government confirmation and announcement from the Ministry of Public Health about the policy, sigh - up process and timeline for COVID-19 vaccination in private hospital. Sorry that we don't have Moderna." Edited May 14, 2021 by dddave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonboat Ronin Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Might be worth noting that regarding the effort to use local production for AZ vaccine, it is actually very challenging to have a successful launch from any new production facility. This is a major inhibitor to sharing patents: its not so much to monopolize profits but to evade responsibility if the new production facility cannot manufacture the vaccine safely. AZ from Siam Bio may not be equivalent to that from the UK, at least not until preliminary trials are done. It might be wise to assume current projections will not pan out in reality and make preparations for alternative remedies/protection strategies if we find the rollout faces likely hurdles/delays, particularly for high-risk folks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah but Thailand hasn't actually ordered any moderna vaccine yet. And moderna has so many orders already that in recent deals with other countries, moderna won't deliver the vaccine until 2022.
