Type of viral vector from the AstraZeneca company that have found blood clots Up to causing death, this is the problem of the side effects of the Astra vaccine. It’s a worldwide thing. Thailand is also already aware of this. But in the past we have. There is a committee looking into the issue of vaccinating appropriate groups.

However, if we go back to the time when the vaccine was introduced. All vaccines imported for use in Thailand are for emergency use (Emergency Use) to prevent epidemics. The first vaccine used was Sinovac’s inactivated vaccine, while foreign countries, especially European ones, do not accept the vaccine. Only those who have been vaccinated with Astra will be admitted. Only those who can enter the country can enter the country. As for the mRNA vaccine, it has not yet been produced for use.

COVID-Astra vaccine blood clots occur 5-42 days after the injection.

“Thailand has administered 48 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine, of which 1 person has received 2 doses, so there are approximately 20 million recipients of the vaccine, with the last dose administered in March 2023.
