Popular Post edwardandtubs Posted May 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 13, 2021 Great. But Australia has just secured an order for 25 million doses. Expected delivery? End of 2021 and into 2022. Thailand meanwhile hasn't even secured an order so the chances of it being here anytime this year are zero. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-57095035 43 4 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Cali farong Posted May 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 13, 2021 Moderna developed in the most advanced country has to wait for Thailand to grant emergency clearance but Chinese garbage vaccine is widely available.

Australia doesn't really qualify for COVAX. Also, I'm sure for the right price Thailand can get it sooner. I doubt they would be willing to pay it though. 7 1 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderna is not for the average Somchai, he will have to wait for the local soup to be cooked up. If we don't have any flip-flop statements, we could see Moderna available in Thailand before the end of the month. 7 4 1 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all western countries has approved this vaccine for months already:) Anyway Thailand will make their own vaccine, as we all have heard. And anyway, a bit of ginger cures Covid anyways.
