They will also offer the free shots to women over the age of 18 who are at least 12 weeks pregnant.

How long have you been here, people were desperate or foolish to pay up for something the hospitals did not even have, a deposit might have been ok but not for two jabs upfront months before they turn up, if ever.

That's not correct - the Moderna shots people have paid for were all through the Thonburi Health Group. The only connection is that they're both Moderna, and this has been verified by Moderna / Zuellig .

The Thai Red Cross paid for the Moderna jabs they now have just like the private hospitals paid for the jabs they got.  So, if the Red Cross wants to provide the jabs free, or even at a cost, it's up to them.  

Now whether the Red Cross should have been part of the same Moderna buy as for the private hospitals which ended up making less Moderna jabs available to private hospitals, well, that's a different subject.

We have paid at Bangkok H CM for 2 x 2 jabs, and 2x2 for Vibhavadi H in Bangkok. And to date only Bangkok CM as far as we know got only 308. My wife is que number less than 1800 and stuck at their will. Lanna CM from Thonburi group got thousands of them. We will figure out what to do with the others as they will be Q1 2022 now. But the sad thing is they seem to not allow you to split the Ofer between 2 people if used fir a booster. Either way they win. Use it or lose it or use 1/2 and lose half.

Everybody is qualifyed who got no jab. Why they make it always that complicate. Same nonsense with the second dose round where they not give sombody his first shot even after not many second shots are there but is no first shot round or just one day. And now they complain some not got even one shot but not ask why it happened like that. Everybody who is not vaccinated is qualifyed!

??? Bizarre.

The vaccines belong to the Thai Red Cross, so I think I'll go along with their view of who's "qualifyed" or not 😂!
