BANGKOK, Dec 20 (Reuters): Some Thais who had scrambled to book private hospital appointments to receive the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine have taken to social media to resell their slots after an influx of free government-supplied shots in recent weeks.

A Facebook group with about 4,800 members, called Moderna First Lot Reservations, had users selling doses for around 1,000 baht (S$40.73) with some offering to buy shots for as low as 800 baht, down from an original price of 1,650 baht.
