snoop1130 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 50,000 COVID-19 vaccine doses to arrive next month BANGKOK (NNT) - The first lot of 50,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine developed by AstraZeneca will arrive in Thailand early next month, after receiving approval from the country’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Previously, the doses were set to arrive in May. They will first be given to medical personnel. Deputy Prime Minister and Public Health Minister, Anutin Charnvirakul, chaired a meeting today (Jan 25) to discuss COVID-19 vaccine management. The meeting was attended by the ministry’s executives and five working bodies. The ministry previously set up subcommittees to take on various aspects. Today, the meeting followed up on vaccine management and distribution, after the FDA recently approved the emergency use of the vaccine developed by AstraZeneca and produced abroad. Initially, the recipients of the vaccine are required to install the Mor Prom application, to monitor side effects of the vaccine. The Public Health Minister said there may be side effects, but the possibility is very low. He urged the people not to be too worried because there are officials specifically assigned to take care of them. The government will provide full support to ensure that the vaccine distribution covers all Thai citizens in a timely manner and without any disparity. After receiving the first lot of COVID-19 vaccine doses on February 1, more doses will arrive in March and April, including the vaccine developed in China. -- © Copyright NNT 2021-01-25 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Thailand - and other countries - would be able to get more AZ vaccine quicker if some of the Western nations had not pre-ordered so much. More than they can immediately use, and more than needed for their entire populations in some cases PH Edited January 25, 2021 by Phulublub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
