Siam Bioscience confident of delivering vaccine jabs on time
THAILAND: Siam Bioscience Co, the local biotechnology firm contracted to manufacture the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine in Thailand, said it is confident that it will be able to deliver the vaccines on time once they have passed the required checks.

The company is in the process of sending samples of the vaccines it produced to several laboratories in Europe and the United States for quality inspection.
Once the samples are approved by the labs, they will be sent to AstraZeneca, which will then register the vaccine with the Thai Food and Drug Administration, so it can be mass-produced and used domestically, the company said.
After getting FDA’s approval, Siam Bioscience will ramp up the production of the vaccines.
Before the doses are delivered to the government in July as planned, they will be sent to AstraZeneca, who will carry out final quality and safety inspections, it said.
Siam Bioscience said its plant is capable of producing vaccines at almost the same rate as other manufacturers in Australia and South Korea, as they use the same technology from AstraZeneca.
Deputy government spokeswoman Traisuree Taisaranakul earlier said that between 6-10 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine will be ready for use in June.
Nualphan Lamsam, corporate communication director of Siam Bioscience, said the company has been working closely with AstraZeneca to ensure both the quality and safety of the product.
“All parties concerned are working against time to produce the vaccine as fast as possible and make it an alternative to help save lives,” she said.
AstraZeneca (Thailand) Co president James Teak said the company is committed to ensuring equal and timely access to the COVID-19 vaccine during the pandemic.
Deputy Prime Minister and Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul reported to the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration on Friday that the company has improved the vaccine’s efficacy against the Brazilian and South African strains of the coronavirus.

Thailand goes shopping for the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine
Published 34 mins ago on Tuesday, April 20, 2021 By Tim Newton
Still waiting for your vaccine? You’re not alone with only around 0.9% of Thailand currently vaccinated. With the Public Health Ministry nailed to just two international vaccines at this stage – the Chinese Sinovac and the AstraZeneca vaccines – it has found itself running short as it tries to catch up to regional neighbours and the rest of the world.
Now the Public Health Ministry says that it’s negotiating with Pfizer to buy 5-10 million doses of the new-technology Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine. Today the PM said they could expect supplies from Pfizer to arrive between July and December this year.
The PM Prayut confirmed that the National Vaccine Institute is awaiting prices from the US-based pharmaceutical company. The PM denied that the government was dragging its feet on the national vaccine roll out.
“… if all goes well, 5-10 million doses can be delivered as soon as July.”
Except that the government HAS been dragging its feet. To date only 666,000 doses have been rolled out, less than 1% of Thailand’s population over the past 2 months. The arrival of the ordered Sinovac Biotech and AstraZeneca vaccines appears to have been lumpy, at best, and the date for the local production of the AstraZeneca vaccine, under license, continues to be pushed back… now the earliest date is expected to be July.
Thailand goes shopping for the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine | News by Thaiger
The prime minister’s response was that he had set up a panel to consider “alternative vaccines”, according to Bangkok Post.
“Initially, the purchases Thailand made were based on the situation at that time, when we were very successful in containing the outbreak.”
“Let me be clear. It’s not that we acted too late or too little. Everything depends on the situation at a given time. We don’t want to subject people to risk when the vaccine was first produced. Several countries opted to do the same.”
The Pfizer/BioNTech works in a different way to the more traditional AstraZeneca and Chinese vaccines. It uses mRNA technology, a completely new approach and the first of its kind. There’s an entire detailed article HERE from the NY Times explaining how the new Pfizer vaccine works.
But no matter what vaccines are available in Thailand, or whenever they may arrive in the provincial hospitals, it still appears that the foreigners and expats will be at the end of the queues, although some local embassies have assured their citizens that the vaccination of their expatriate citizens will be a priority.
