A leading doctor in the fight against Covid-19 has reassured the Thai public that the country is not buying the vaccine at the center of concerns after 23 frail and elderly people died in Norway. 

 

The old people died after being given shots of Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine. 

 

Dr Sophon Iamsirithavorn said that the Pfizer vaccination and Modrna were mRNA jabs.

 

Thailand has gone for AstraZeneca and Sinovac from China that uses a different technology. 

 

Thailand would continue to monitor the experiences abroad before vaccinations are carried out in the country, he said.
