Thailand’s Chulabhorn Royal Academy is to procure alternative makes of COVID-19 vaccines, to supplement those being acquired by the government, without going through the Government Pharmaceutical Organization (GPO).

 

The acquisition plan appears in an announcement, dated May 18th and just published in the Royal Gazette.

 

In his Facebook post, the academy’s secretary-general, Dr. Nithi Mahanonda, explained that the procurement plan is in line with the academy’s mission, as stipulated in the law for the founding of the academy and in compliance with the opinion of the council of the Chulabhorn Royal Academy, that the organization must supplement the government’s work, and that of the Ministry of Public Health, in matters related to research, knowhow and communications with other countries.
