To maximize the usefulness of every tool available for the pandemic response, Thailand is exploring the advantages of combining doses of different COVID-19 vaccines. Thus, Thailand began to administer two doses of different COVID-19 vaccines as of July 19. A week earlier though, Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, the WHO’s chief scientist, made a statement concerning risks involved in mixing and matching COVID-19 vaccines. The remark was directed at individuals seeking adventure by mixing and combining COVID-19 vaccines without seeking appropriate medical advice. The chief scientist stressed that public health agencies should be the sole provider of guidance over mix and match regimens. Thailand has done it. Nevertheless, Thai people are still hesitant to embrace the new approach.
