The Thailand Food and Drug Administration approved the use of Moderna vaccine in children aged 6-11 last week. Studies show that two doses of 50mg for children aged 6-11 are as effective against Covid-19 as two 100mg doses in adults aged 18-25, she added. She said Australia, Canada and European countries had already approved the use of Moderna vaccine in children aged six and over. As of Friday, Thailand had administered just over 136 million doses of Covid-19 vaccine. Of these, 56.563 million were first jabs, 52.108 million second jabs, and 27.391 million were boosters.
