webfact Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Vaccine Production at Full Speed BANGKOK, (TNA) - AstraZeneca Co and Siam Bioscience Co are speeding up their COVID-19 vaccine production in Thailand and are confident of delivering it to Thais in June. James Teak, president of AstraZeneca (Thailand) Co, said Siam Bioscience received approval from the Food and Drug Administration to produce AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine. With the support from FDA and the Thai government, the vaccine production started and continued quickly as planned. Both companies were speeding up the production and would deliver the vaccine to the Thai government for inoculation among people in Thailand in June, he said.

Popular Post bluesofa Posted April 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2021 (from the link above) "AstraZeneca believed in the high and internationally recognized production quality of Siam Bioscience and thus chose the latter to produce its vaccine for Thailand and eight other Southeast Asian countries. Consequently, Thailand became the center of vaccine production and distribution for the sake of adequate and fair access to the COVID-19 vaccine in many countries, Mr Teak said." When they start production in June, I wonder if they will fulfil all of Thailand's needs before starting to export elsewhere? 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ is the work horse vaccine for many countries as it is supplied at cost and proved to be effective. Let's hope that when production starts in Thailand it is used to vaccinate the entire population starting with first medical staff and the most vulnerable not for the benefit of fat cats in the Tourism Industry 12 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is NOT rocket science, but using a Thai company, surprised it is that far advanced. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of Thai's are not going to take it due to the adverts that say people died from blood clots. They don't care that it was a drop in the ocean, they only care that people died. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point was the AZ vaccine production here is also to be for a further 8 ASEAN nations and in the context of those earlier posts when they (those ASEAN nations) will get it. Hence my reply "He who pays ( the most ) gets the vaccine. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post newnative Posted April 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 29, 2021 So, they're 'speeding things up' but it's still going to be far off June before any vaccine is produced. June was the original date so where exactly is the 'speeding up'??? Meanwhile, why can't AZ send some vaccines NOW to bridge the long gap before local production starts? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clivebaxter Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 No mention of how many in the first batch June again back from July. Originally it was 18 million a month, now what is it ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
