The Thai Red Cross Society has dismissed claims that its Moderna s Covid-19 vaccine order, which is being handled by the Government Pharmaceutical Organisation (GPO), has caused several hospitals to cancel scheduled inoculations.
It says its allotment is separate from the quota the GPO had set aside for private hospitals.
The organisation clarified its order status as several private hospitals claimed they had to cancel scores of jab appointments after they realised that they weren t going to get enough Moderna vaccines from the GPO, which had to fulfil TRCS s order of one million doses.

CRA secretary-general Dr Nithi Mahanonda said on his Facebook page that millions of doses of Sinopharm vaccine have been ordered for local distribution.
However, they cannot be delivered to Thailand all at once as the production process, quality control and inspection take some time to complete. Everyone needs to be patient, he said.
