About 1.6 million more doses of AstraZeneca vaccine are being delivered this week as the Public Health Ministry promises a more effective distribution in future.
The ministry also referred the first 1,000 elderly and those with underlying ailments, whose jabbing appointments at hospitals in Bangkok had been deferred due to a supply shortage, for vaccinations at Bang Sue Grand Station on Wednesday.
Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said the ministry received 600,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine on Wednesday and a further one million would arrive tomorrow.
We ll do better from now on, says Anutin as CRA confirms vaccine compensation

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha refused to lay the blame for recent vaccination cancellations for individuals or state agencies when speaking to reporters at parliament on Monday, saying reports had been muddled by too many sources. I m not blaming anyone. Others may not have the same understanding of the issue because information is being passed through too many channels, Gen Prayut said while replying to questions about the stop-start nature of the national vaccination programme in some parts of the country over the past few days.
