webfact Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Thailand to produce flu, bird-flu vaccine by 2018The NationBANGKOK: -- The Government Pharmaceutical Organisation (GPO) will construct the country's first facility to make influenza and bird-flu vaccine in Saraburi's Kaeng Khoi district, with production set to start in early 2018.Following the Cabinet's approval of the GPO project on Tuesday, Public Health Minister Rachata Rachatanavin said the facility would meet the World Health Organisation's manufacturing standards.After undergoing lab tests and getting an okay from the Food and Drug Administration, the vaccines would be made available to public, he added. Initially, the facility is expected to produce 2 million doses per year, but that could rise to 10 million doses annually, or 60 million dosages in case of a pandemic.In related news, Rachata said the ministry would organise a free nationwide Diptheria vaccination programme for 28 million adults aged 20-50 from January 1. Hailed as the worlds' largest vaccination campaign, the programme is designed as a New Year's gift to the public and also in honour of HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn's fifth cycle birthday on April 2.Source: http://www.nationmultimedia.com/national/Thailand-to-produce-flu-bird-flu-vaccine-by-2018-30249664.html-- The Nation 2014-12-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBadGeordie Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Good news, but bye the bye what happened to the "cure" for Ebola? Can anyone enlighten me please? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiddlesticks Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Good news, but bye the bye what happened to the "cure" for Ebola? Can anyone enlighten me please? Sure, they discovered that of all the patients who received the Ebola vaccine, none had any symptoms of bird flu! So it was determined that the vaccine is effective in preventing bird flu. We should be hearing about further breakthroughs shortly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swifty5x5 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 They should just drop the word vaccine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commerce Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 The influenza vaccine is seasonal and regional, so what's the point of aiming to produce 60 million jabs when the vaccine has to be amended every 6 months? Bird-flu (H5N1) rarely affects humans, in fact about 630 cases since 2003, and a handful in Thailand. Vaccine is generally for poultry, and not human consumption, so why another batch of multi-millions of bird-flu jabs? Thailand, the West is years ahead, so stop trying to jump on the band-wagon of leading hub of vaccines for world consumption - there's a few who beat you to the wheel already!!

HeijoshinCool Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Minds of simpletons. Keep ordering all the ministries to make your silly daily self-serving announcements, Khun Dictator with 12-values-that-every-person-on-Earth-should-believe-in-or-die.

Throatwobbler Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 It might be useful if the people commenting on this thread read the article carefully before commenting. It would make you look less retarted. But hey I guess you don't want anything to get in the way of your usual Thai bashing. Makes you look like very sad bitter people.

It would make you look less retarted. But hey I guess you don't want anything to get in the way of your usual Thai bashing. Makes you look like very sad bitter people. OK, I read it again. Now what? I still think of the Aids cure and Ebola cure that Thailand announced it has discovered. Come on, you must remember a few years ago it was all over Thai news that Thailand had discovered the cure for Aids. It was in the newspapers and on the TV News. You always post how wonderful Thailand is and anyone who criticizes it is wrong. What is your comment on all the false reports? Or is it that we just don't understand Thainess?
