It is clear that half a dose is a solution out of a lack of vaccines and a reluctance to make a hole in the state budget for its citizens.  Even a complete booster dose will probably last only half a year.  The world is in pursuit of a solution, half a dose it is a shabby and pathetic solution like the whole conduct of the Thai government.  It is time for an enlightened and young government that cares for the people democratically.

There is short supply. Scientists all over the world are looking at ways to do more with less. Just because there are some vaccines out that work doesn’t mean they should stop looking for more solutions.

What is a Thai-administered vaccine? Manufactured in Thailand? Many wealthy countries have rules about certifying vaccines manufactured abroad. Thailand is no different in this regard from other countries.

It means a shot given in Thailand.

It looks like the US is in on mixing vaccines now. And people thought Thailand was dumb to do it!

Bet you Sinovax is not included in their mix!

This Thai quoted study must be correct.  After all Thais invented the Ebola vaccine.
