REUTERS/Chalinee Thirasupa/File Photo BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's health minister on Tuesday sought to reassure the public that a mass-immunisation programme would start as planned next week, amid anxiety over vaccine supplies and no relent in its deadliest COVID-19 outbreak yet. Thailand is struggling to contain its current, most severe outbreak and authorities have been scrambling to secure vaccines from more manufacturers, accompanied by mixed messages about how the mass vaccinations will be carried out. "On June 7 there will be vaccine for everyone, those that already have appointments for the vaccine will get it as scheduled," Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said. Thailand has 6 million doses of AstraZeneca's vaccine available, among 61 million doses ordered, which are to be manufactured locally by Siam Bioscience, a company owned by Thailand's king. A Philippine presidential adviser on Tuesday said he had been informed by AstraZenca that its first batches of a promised 17 million doses has been held up by several weeks due to delays in Thai production. Thailand's government has made no mention of delays and AstraZeneca and Siam Bioscience did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Anutin did not specify the source of the 6 million AstraZeneca doses. The government had earlier said there would be 3 million doses of Sinovac vaccines available for the public in June. So far, only 2.5 million of the more than 66 million population have received at least one dose of a vaccine, mostly Sinovac's. Thailand's mass-vaccination strategy had been widely criticused for relying heavily on AstraZeneca and for a chaotic lead-up to the rollout. Authorities recently said they would extend gaps between doses to expedite vaccinations and prioritise the capital Bangkok and surrounding provinces, raising concern about wider availability. The government has previously said it would order 20 million doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine. Anutin on Tuesday said he was talking to Pfizer and Thailand could also order five million doses of Johnson & Johnson's vaccine for the fourth quarter of this year. -- © Copyright Reuters 2021-06-01 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomer6969 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 No worries mate, we all know that this is a government made of generals, all well used to the generous backhanders of the international arms deals. We humble subjects can only sympathise for the efforts involved to transpose the culture of the military hardware marketplace into the negotiation to secure our vaccines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bkk6060 Posted June 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2021 Mahidol University's dean, Bangjong Mahaisavariya, said 460 volunteers would be accepted for the human trials, 210 of whom would be used in the first phase. Phase two is expected to begin in July, with results by year-end. The vaccination drive is targeting the inoculation of half the adult population by the end of the year using 61 million doses of AstraZeneca's vaccine, which will be locally produced from June. Maybe just me but I certainly am very confused about this. They apparently have not even started phase 2 trials of the locally produced Astrazeneca. Yet, are promising it will be available for all next month? All seems very odd. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There, in a single sentence, is the problem. "everyone" "appointments" will get it" "as scheduled". He starts off with everyone, then whittles it down to "you two, in the back". 11 hours ago, snoop1130 said: Thailand has 6 million doses of AstraZeneca's vaccine available Is this the opinion of the writer? Weird to throw this in? 11 hours ago, snoop1130 said: Anutin did not specify the source of the 6 million AstraZeneca doses. Why wouldn't he? This is a monumental piece of POSITIVE news.

Thailand will begin the first stage of human trials in March of a new COVID-19 vaccine, which has been developed jointly by the Faculty of Tropical Medicine of Mahidol University and the Government Pharmaceutical Organization (GPO), Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul told the media on Wednesday. https://www.thaipbsworld.com/thailand-to-start-human-trials-of-locally-developed-covid-19-vaccine-in-march/ There is also an mRNA effort at Chula with help from some Unis in the U.S.? https://www.chula.ac.th/en/clipping/47302/ The CCSA spokeperson mentioned one of these yesterday, not sure which one though.
