The Ministry of Public Health is expected to receive the first batch of Thai-made AstraZeneca vaccine from Siam Bioscience about 3 months after an AstraZeneca representative inspected the Thai pharmaceutical factory, Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said today.

The AstraZeneca representative is satisfied with the standard of Siam Bioscience’s production facility and is confident that the first batch of the locally-produced vaccine will be available for delivery in June, he added.

Siam Bioscience has benefited from technology, transferred from AstraZeneca, to produce the vaccine for domestic use and export.

If they have a successful commercial home made batch of AZ by June that will be a great result.

CSL (the Australian producer) took over seven months to get it right and the European producers have had big setbacks.

Getting the batch right is apparently not that simple.

Hopefully they will benefit from all the other setbacks

But usually don't listen to outsiders.

Inspecting a manufacturing facility and giving it the Ok is one thing.

To actually get the product made, and out of the Door of that facility, and to quality standards is a completely different thing.

Lets wait and see what AZ actually make of the Thai Vaccine when its ready for " Roll out " from this new facility

Since it's a new facility I suspect there would be the need to test and retest all of the functions within the whole process to confirm that the process works, any needed adjustments are defined and implemented and more tests etc. Then checks and rechecks, then perhaps a random 40% of productivity over several months, to ensure it comes out 100% up to the specs of the original serum. Overall several months, or more.
