I'd naively assumed that they had the situation in Samut Sakhon under control, but it seems not. If things are so out-of-control in a relatively small area that was known about several weeks ago, that doesn't bode well for the outbreak now affecting much of the country. There should be a national lockdown with all non-essential interprovincial travel banned, but instead complacency and navel-gazing seem to be the order of the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To commence production when and in what numbers. I think we will find it will be many months before that gets off the ground. In my opinion (aka complete guess) Thailand will not lift restrictions to allow mass tourism once again untill it has completed a vaccination progam for a significant percentage of the Thai population irrespective of what happens in the rest of the world.

December 18, 2020 06:02 AM KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - Thailand says a local laboratory's pact with Britain's AstraZeneca will make the Southeast Asian country the regional hub for supplies of what's likely to be one of the leading vaccines against COVID-19 as governments scramble to lock in supplies. Bangkok-based Siam Bioscience signed a letter of intent with AstraZeneca late last month to make 200 million doses of the British pharmaceutical firm's COVID-19 vaccine, AZD1222, said Nakorn Premsri, director of Thailand's National Vaccine Institute. Thailand's Public Health Ministry and the local conglomerate SCG, with its packaging and chemicals divisions, also joined the deal. Nakorn said most of the doses would head abroad. "Thailand will secure only 26 million doses. We may ask for more, but it will not be a big part, so maybe more than half of that [200 million] can be exported," he told VOA. "It's in the letter of intent that we made together with Siam Bioscience, AstraZeneca, SCG and Ministry of Public Health that it will be distributed within the ASEAN region," he added, referring to the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations. Nakorn said AstraZeneca has already started sharing the technology Siam Bioscience will need to make its vaccine and that production could begin in the second quarter of next year. If all goes well, he said, inoculations could start by the middle of the year. Because those taking AstraZeneca's vaccine will need two doses each, the 26 million jabs Thailand has reserved will be enough for 13 million people, about a fifth of the country's population. How the rest of the doses are rolled out across Southeast Asia, a region of over 650 million people, will be up to the British firm, said Nakorn. https://www.voanews.com/covid-19-pandemic/thai-firm-joins-astrazeneca-make-covid-19-vaccine-southeast-asia 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a 2 jab vaccine right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course, Thailand has a manufacturing agreement with AstraZeneca. GSK is manufacturing and distributing covid vaccine from within UK. The UK has already vaccinated 1m people, and will be the first large nation to vaccine its population. When it comes to the vaccination programme the UK is pissing all over tinpot, shithole countries like your beloved China and the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toy Boy Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 From Thai Visa: The number of new infections and total cases in Thailand since 14 Dec is as follows: 14 Dec: +28 (4,237) 15 Dec: +9 (4,246) 16 Dec: +15 (4,261) 17 Dec: +20 (4,281) 18 Dec: +16 (4,297) 19 Dec: +34 (4,331) 20 Dec: +576 (4,907) 21 Dec: +382 (5,289) 22 Dec: +427 (5,716) 23 Dec: +46 (5,762) 24 Dec: +67 (5,829) 25 Dec: +81 (5,910) 26 Dec: +110 (6,020) 27 Dec: +121 (6,141) 28 Dec: +144 (6,285) 29 Dec: +155 (6,440) 30 Dec: +250 (6,690) 31 Dec: +194 (6,884) 1 Jan: +279 (7,163) 2 Jan: +216 (7,379) 3 Jan: +315 (7,694) 4 Jan: +745 (8,439) That looks scary, but if you exclude the 557 migrant workers found on Monday then it leaves only 152 Thai national local infections. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think for a week or more now the headline numbers have excluded the cases in Samut Sakhon, haven't they? if so, then the 745 should really be 152 and situation doesn't look nearly so bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. Thailand reported 745 new confirmed cases, 16 from people on repatriation flights and in state quarantine centers, 577 from active finding tests among migrant workers, and 152 from local transmission; with 0 deaths reported; the total remains at 8,439 infections, and 65 deaths. They just announced one more fatality though so that 0 you see here is incorrect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWA Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 According to this report, production of the vaccine in Thailand has already started. It won't be available until May however as testing and formal approval is still required. https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/crimecourtscalamity/2021/01/03/thailand-to-get-oxford-astrazeneca-covid-vaccines-by-may/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
