Korea to donate 470,000 AstraZeneca vaccines to Thailand

The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency announced that it’ll donate almost 1.6 million AstraZeneca vaccines mixed to Thailand and Vietnam. ผลไม้ของฝาก introduced yesterday that South Korea will donate 470,000 vaccines to Thailand and 1.1 million vaccines to Vietnam.
Korea is now managed to vaccinate nearly 80% of its inhabitants, about forty one.6 million of its fifty two million citizens. As such, it’s now donating further vaccines to some neighbours to help the global vaccination efforts.
Yesterday after the announcement from the KDCPA, the Thai Cabinet formally acknowledged the AstraZeneca vaccine donation from South Korea, hopefully avoiding delays just like the US Pfizer donation debacle. A deputy spokesperson for the federal government said, like the 1 million vaccine donation stalled from the US, the Cabinet tasked Minister of Public Health Anutin Charnvirakul with the paperwork and signing the donation agreement.
There isn’t any confirmed date on when the 470 AstraZeneca vaccines donated by South Korea shall be delivered in Thailand yet. But the spokesperson did say that South Korean nationals that are living in Thailand will get first priority on the donated vaccines, something the French, Swiss, and Chinese governments had been also able to do with vaccine donations, but Americans and Australians residing in Thailand have been annoyed earlier this 12 months as their government claimed it was not attainable to earmark donated vaccines for his or her expat citizens..
