thefist Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Hi With the WHO approving the Thai AZ vaccine, does that mean that it is accepted in the UK now? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK has accepted Thai administered Astrazeneca vaccines from 11-October. At the same time Thailand was removed from the UK’s ‘red list’. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/travel-to-england-from-another-country-during-coronavirus-covid-19 But: only 4 vaccines are accepted. - Pfizer - Moderna - Janssen (Johnson&Johnson) - Astrazenica Edited October 16, 2021 by richard_smith237 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what Thai version is. Perhaps worth checking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cauldlad Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 The Thai version is exactly the same as the UK version and both are Oxford Astrazenica made to the same formula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. For those technically minded it's 98.3% Water and 1.7% Dihydrogen Monoxide. First injection I have had in my whole life that had zero affect on me. On a serious note, if you are thinking of travelling it's the paperwork that you also need to focus on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't the contents that stopped it from being approved in many places, it was an administrative issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
