1.5m Doses of Pfizer Vaccine Arrive

Samut Prakan, Thailand – July 30, 2021 : The 1.5 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine produced by Pfizer and BioNTech and donated by the United States were delivered to Thailand at Suvarnabhumi airport. The vaccine doses were landed at the airport at about 4am and moved to a warehouse where they were kept at very low temperatures between -70 and -90 degrees Celsius. Dr Opas Karnkawinpong, director-general of the Department of Disease Control, said medical workers would be trained online about the administration of the Pfizer vaccine today because it was an mRNA vaccine that was different from vaccines developed by Sinovac and AstraZeneca.
