Thailand considering regulating its AstraZeneca vaccine exports
The Peninsula
BANGKOK: Thailand is considering regulating the volume of locally manufactured AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines for export, a health official said on Wednesday, a move that could impact supplies to other Asian countries.
The health ministry will talk to AstraZeneca with the aim of securing a sufficient amount locally before issuing the order, said Nakorn Premsri, Director of the National Vaccine Institute. "Right now we will talk with the vaccine manufacturer so they can deliver the vaccine to Thailand in a suitable manner that matches the outbreak situation in the country," Nakorn told reporters.
