The delay in Thailand s AstraZeneca vaccine delivery plan is indeed a bad omen for the embattled Prayut Chan-o-cha government.
The unfortunate delay, which adds to the vaccine debacle, has shattered the public s expectation of having speedy relief from the Covid-19 pandemic that is killing so many and crippling the economy.
The pandemonium speaks volumes about the government s failure, not only of its vaccination plan, but also of its crisis management. It is sad to say that those in the Thai Khu Fah (Government House) Building have not learned anything since the first outbreak.

Nonthaburi province announced it will administer the AstraZeneca vaccine as a second dose after a first jab of Sinovac for its residents, starting from Tuesday.
It was the first province to jump on the cross-dose bandwagon. The Public Health Ministry on Monday decided the AstraZeneca jab will be administered three to four weeks after the first Sinovac injection.
Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said a combination of the jabs will allow greater immunity against the Delta variant of Covid-19.
The cross doses will be made available at non-hospital vaccination sites at Central Plaza Chaengwatthana, Wat Sai Yai s meeting hall, Central Plaza Westgate and The Mall Ngam Wong Wan, as well as to those who registered for vaccination via the Mor Prom (Doctors Ready) app starting on Sunday.

It has become common knowledge that Thailand s national vaccine plan is inadequate, full of loopholes, flip-flopping and even worse, and might not be enough to deal with the fluid threat and devastating impact of the coronavirus pandemic effectively. But vaccine mismanagement no longer appears to be the root cause of Thailand s Covid-19 trials and tribulations.
