The Health Ministry and local manufacturer of AstraZeneca vaccine have agreed to extend the delivery of 61 million doses from December to May next year.
Sathit said the extended delivery date of the locally produced vaccine was required since monthly supply volumes could not be achieved as previously planned.
The initial delivery plan by the manufacturer Siam Bioscience was on a monthly instalment basis, starting with six million doses in June, followed by 10 million doses each month between July and November and five million doses in December. — Xinhua
