The Ministry of Public Health explained this after Astra admitted that the anti-Covid vaccine has side effects. Pointing out that there is no longer any injection available in Thailand. Revealed the information before To fit properly
From the case of the Independent Reported in a class action lawsuit in the UK Information on side effects after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine from the company AstraZeneca who found blood clots leading to death, while the Astra Company have disputed such claims . But he admitted it for the first time in a court document. In some cases, vaccines can cause TTS, or thrombotic thrombocytopenia.
It can happen even without the Astra vaccine. or any vaccine The cause in any case will be a matter of expert evidence. This admission by Astra contradicts the company’s statement in 2003 that it did not accept that TTS was caused by the vaccine in general.
On May 1, 2024, Dr. Surachoke Tangwiwat, Deputy Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Public Health (MOPH), revealed the case that Regarding side effects resulting from the administration of the COVID-19 vaccine AstraZeneca actually published information in a journal medical during the emergency authorization (EUA) period, but has now been granted general use authorization. Therefore, information on side effects is collected in an evidence-based manner. Including the issue of such lawsuits.
However, in the past, when academic advice or information has been provided The Ministry of Public Health has taken this advice and adapted it to vaccination guidelines. For example at the Astra company. There are data on the incidence of thromboembolism among young people. The Ministry of Public Health has also issued recommendations for vaccination among people aged 30 years and older.
“Data on thromboembolism has been disclosed since the vaccine was used in emergency situations and the company has submitted this information to all countries using the vaccine, including Thailand. At that point he stated that there had been a meeting and he suspected it might be related. So be careful and reduce your usage in the future. Thailand collects information on side effects after receiving all types of vaccines. This is a collaboration between the Department of Disease Control and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA),” said Dr. Surachoke.
Dr. Surachoke further stated that vaccines are included in the use of medicines. It must therefore be used under the supervision of an expert. To monitor and follow up after receiving the medicine. Vaccination is one of the side effects that must be monitored and reported. Which is generally why all vaccines are used, including COVID-19. and other disease vaccines more widely, in 1-2 years you will start to see more information. There will be more counseling and monitoring.
When asked if Thailand currently has the Astra vaccine. How confidential is it? Dr Surachoke said Thailand has vaccinated itself with the Astra vaccine. that we have already bought everything and this year there have been no further procurements. Therefore, the vaccines currently available in Thailand are: Pfizer and Moderna
The next question is, when the information comes out, will that affect your concerns about vaccination? Especially those at risk of having severe symptoms. Dr. Surachoke said Every pharmaceutical product and vaccine has more benefits and side effects than other products. Therefore, use should take place under the advice of a doctor. The use of any medicine or vaccine is permitted. It must be weighed between benefits and side effects, for example, side effects may occur in 1 in 100,000 people or 1 in a million people, then evaluate them If there is a patient who may have severe symptoms up to death. Therefore, everything must be weighed.
