AstraZeneca commits to 1.8 mln Thai vaccine doses amid supply anxiety
The Peninsula
BANGKOK: Drugmaker AstraZeneca said on Wednesday it would soon provide Thailand with 1.8 million doses of locally manufactured COVID-19 vaccine, the first of multiple batches this month, just days out from the launch of its mass vaccination drive.
The announcement in a joint statement by AstraZeneca and Siam Bioscience, a firm owned by Thailand's king, comes amid public anxiety about vaccine supplies, as the country suffers its most severe outbreak so far. The statement did not say whether the Thai plant would make all 6 million doses that Thailand's government has promised would be available this month.More Related News
