Moderna vaccine shipments will resume this week, starting with the arrival of more than one million doses on Thursday.

Senior Health Ministry official Son Young-rae said more than one-point-02 million doses will arrive Thursday afternoon, as the first of six million doses that Moderna has agreed to supply by the end of this week.

Moderna previously notified Seoul that it could only send less than half of the eight-point-five million doses of the August shipment due to production problems.

Following an in-person complaint by a South Korean government delegation, the U.S. company promised to supply seven-point-01 million doses by the end of this week. Over one million doses arrived on August 23.

Meanwhile, 526-thousand out of one-point-05 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine that South Korea purchased from Romania under a bilateral agreement will also arrive Thursday afternoon.
