BANGKOK – Thailand will receive two million doses of the Covid-19 vaccine developed by Chinese pharmaceutical company Sinovac Biotech Ltd starting next month, amid the kingdom’s second wave of infections.
The Public Health Ministry, in a statement, said the first shipment of 200,000 doses is expected to arrive by end-February, 800,000 doses by end-March, and a million doses by end-April.
The country is racing to contain its latest outbreak, which originated at a seafood market in Samut Sakhon province in the middle of last month.
Cases linked to the cluster have been detected in the capital here and 52 provinces. – Bernama, January 4, 2021
