Popular Post webfact Posted May 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2021 By Subhabhong Rarueysong BANGKOK (NNT) - The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has explained that Thailand has entered into an agreement on the exchange of vaccines, which is different from joining the Covax Facility. Ministry spokesman Thanee Saengrat issued the clarification in response to a news report that Thailand had changed its position on joining Covax. He said the vaccine swap arrangement is an agreement between two parties, when one country wishes to obtain vaccines from another, which has surplus vaccine, and return it later when there is enough vaccine in the country. The spokesman said entering into a vaccine swap arrangement is separate from negotiating a vaccine purchase agreement or joining Covax. Mr. Thanee explained that the cooperation between Thailand and Covax is as a donor country. The Thai government donated US$100,000 to The Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator, through the WHO, to support the development and allocation of vaccines and drugs as Global Public Goods, in December last year. -- © Copyright NNT 2021-05-31 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's embarrassing. Clearly no one is checking the bosses work these days. Recipe for failure. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caldera Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 The counterpart for such a swap surely only exists in the vast realm of fiction. Seriously, this idea sounds just insane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timendres Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 This government was totally sideswiped by thinking they were not going to see this third wave, and they would have plenty of time to "capitalize" on vaccinations. Should be a case study in every classroom teaching on pandemics going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Thailand is signing up to donate excess vaccines to Covax when the country currently is experiencing a vaccine shortage. ???? Of course - that makes all the sense in the world.

CLW Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Is he joking? $100.00 only? That's not even worth mentioning and yet they expect to get some vaccines out of this donation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
