BANGKOK (NNT) - Siam Bioscience Co is confident that it will be able to deliver the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines to the government in July as planned.

 

The company is in the process of sending samples of the vaccines it produced to several laboratories in Europe and the United States for quality and safety inspection.

 

Once the samples are approved by the labs, they will be sent to AstraZeneca, which will then register the vaccine with the Thai Food and Drug Administration (FDA). After getting FDA’s approval, Siam Bioscience will ramp up the production of the vaccines for using domestically.

 

Siam Bioscience said its plant is capable of producing vaccines at almost the same rate as other manufacturers in Australia and South Korea, as they use the same technology from AstraZeneca.

Yep. I was about to say exactly this. NNT's subtle way of moving the goalposts?

I did post a link to a story indicating June as well. Goal posts changing daily or weekly to suit needs

If they are ready to deliver in July, the Government have 2.5 months to set up vaccination centres throughout the land, not just Bangkok! They should start with all frontline medical staff, then other frontline staff e.g. police, rescue workers etc., then elderly and vulnerable people, then factory and production workers (where people work in close proximity to each other) then and only then should they start to think about Airline workers, not now!

I suspect the AZ farangs have been trying to skill up Siam Bioscience so that they can get the job done. This takes time. 

 

Nobody will mention it, however, as it wouldn't be polite.

Whereas other companies produced millions of doses on the risk it might not be approved, just to be ready to deliver when it is. Anyway, no reason to hurry I guess... 

I don't believe Siam Bioscience has ever made jabs before.  A first for them.

And they will be forced to stop it like many countries have due to blood clots.

What a waste..

Not really.  Thailand is a third world country and you-know-who owns you-know-what, therefore the first world could pull the AZ vaccine over safety concerns but history is replete with examples of third-world countries (especially Africa, Central Asia, and why not SE Asia) being the testing grounds for questionable vaccines.  AZ along with all the others are still "experimental vaccines" and all who take them are participating in global live trials.  So first-worlders make balk, but third-worlders don't have the sophistication to say, "No."

All the vaccine manufacturers said that this first batch will be produced at cost.  So...no profit motive, so no reason to hurry.

Not in this country have they said it will be produced at cost.

Originally the amount they were planned to produce a month from June was mentioned, now there is nothing said about the numbers, a million would be far too low, needs to be tens of millions a month. I see it was originally 18 million a month, is that still on?

Only AZ an J&J have stated that currently. Sinovac is a for profit venture.
