Backlog of 2 million doses in Thailand slows vaccination effort

BANGKOK (The Nation/ANN): National vaccination efforts are running slower than expected, causing a backlog of doses to build up, Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) spokeswoman Apisamai Srirangsan said on Monday (July 26). The Department of Disease Control reports that vaccines have been delivered to other provinces but there are still about 2 million doses that have not been used. Hence, health officials are urging local agencies to speed up vaccination efforts. The number of people given jabs in Thailand on Sunday fell below 100,000 – to 90,934. That took the total number of doses administered to 15,960,778, the CCSA reported. In Bangkok, 56.24 per cent of the population have received their first dose, while 54 per cent of those aged 60 or over and 70.52 per cent of vulnerable people with chronic disease have had at least one dose.

One of the biggest concerns of many Thais is how to survive the Covid-19 pandemic, especially as the government s mass vaccination drive has hit so many obstacles. They are also concerned about how to make a living, as many have lost their jobs and businesses which are collapsing under Covid-induced economic impacts. Most appear to be pinning their hopes on the mRNA vaccines which are not yet available in Thailand. The 1.5 million doses of Pfizer donated by the United States are expected to arrive at the end of this month, but they are already fully booked for frontline medical personnel and expatriates living in Thailand.
