Published June 23, 2021, 8:32 AM BANGKOK, Thailand A Thai medical committee has agreed to shorten the interval between two doses of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine to eight weeks from previously 10-12 weeks, an official said on Tuesday. The National Communicable Disease Committee has decided to shorten the interval due to possible spread of the Delta variant, Kiattiphum Wongrachit, permanent secretary of the Ministry of Public Health, said at a press conference. The number of people in Thailand infected with the Delta variant is increasing, and the variant is likely to replace the Alpha variant as the dominant strain causing infections, local media cited Yong Poovorawan, a senior virologist at Bangkok’s Chulalongkorn University, as saying.
