(Total infections since April 1: 1,405,374) The news comes as Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said Wednesday that people already inoculated with two doses of the China’s Sinovac vaccine will be given the third booster jab soon in October or even sooner. He did not, however, specify the new timing, adding that it will be up to the Disease Control Department. Millions of people, including many foreign migrant workers, have been given two Sinovac doses and are waiting for a third booster jab of AstraZeneca viral vector vaccine, expected to commence in October. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2021-09-16 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One reason I would say that has seen the drop in numbers from the mid 20k. There is also the factor of false negatives. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sapson Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Lower the PCR tests and encourage Antigen testing as the norm and dont include the latter positives in the daily press releases. Almost as brilliant as the no test no have policy of the first year. Amazing Thailand land of double Ds! ........Denial and Delusion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anchadian Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 More than 20 COVID-19 vaccines being developed in #Thailand, and 3 have entered human trials after showing promising results When Thailand began its battle against COVID-19 early last year, local scientists were quick to launch research programs on innovative weapons to contain the virus. So far, their hard work has yielded a small but effective armory, ranging from vaccine prototypes to groundbreaking test kits and more. https://www.thaipbsworld.com/from-nasal-sprays-to-sniffer-dogs-thai-researchers-develop-unique-weapons-to-fight-covid-19/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the second link: “According to the minister, more than 70 per cent of Bangkok’s population have already received their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine but only 37 per cent have been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus. The remaining 33 per cent should have been given their second dose by early October, he added.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to see some chart in relation to deaths due to the Delta variant. I think this might show a different story in relation to other countries. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
