“To seek” is a new term to join other promised acquisition terms like “to acquire”, or “looks to sign contract” or “wishes to import”. If wishes were vaccines, Thailand would be 100% vaccinated l

So there's a grey/secondary market for vaccines.

 

I'm sure this is all transparent - cough.

 

SMH.

To beg.

Are they borrowing again... 

Also no timescale, so how long is a piece of string...

Perhaps a nation with Space ambitions and a sub fleet could ramp up production . The British navy had a great motivational scheme.

More "dream" news. High on intent, low (or non-existent) on actuality.

It could be true 13 Yr olds in Spain are receiving or due to receive 2nd jabs before end of October.

Why is it necessary to buy in AZ when it is locally produced? Is it to compensate for the overuse of Sino vacs?

[JustAnotherHun]

Germany has a few millions of doses of different vaccines in stock expiring in december. Sadly no sinovac so not good enough for Thailand.
