Vaccines 100 million doses, 5 Dec. Disgusting! The Ministry of Public Health has confirmed that it is fully Boosting the crossover group soon.
on November 30 Dr. Kiattipoom Wongrachit, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) gave an interview about the goal of vaccinating against COVID-19 to reach 120 million doses according to the new policy of Mr. Anutin Charnvirakul, Deputy Prime Minister And the Minister of Public Health said that at the moment, the average of 4-5 hundred thousand cases of Covid-19 vaccination in Thailand is considered a lot, trying to make Thailand have the highest immunity. According to the Minister of Public Health, 120 million doses
“From counting the number of doses Which is either the 3rd needle or the 4th needle, which is what we will do. But we think that if we get 70-75 percent or more, we are satisfied. In the provinces that are injected more than 74%, there are 20 provinces that can inject 60-69 percent, 25 provinces can be injected, 50-59 percent, with 29 provinces except Mae Hong Son. can be injected, 45.24% may be a specific area But in the city district, the injection was already high. However, when looking at the provinces that had less injections, it was found that there were injections in larger provinces. who have been vaccinated during the epidemic period, many provinces have vaccinations that are expected to be lower than the actual injection Which we will have to clear the information from the ID card number, so there will be a number per province. Some provinces may be able to adjust up and down, such as Bangkok, injecting more than 113 percent of these, there may be people in the area of Nonthaburi to inject as well. Thailand is good Relatively sensitive There are many types of vaccines. We optimize vaccines by crossing. which scientifically proves that It is effective enough. As for the 3rd dose, we are one of the first countries in the world, 1 in 5 of the world. When Phum decreases, we inject more,” said Dr. Kiatpoom.
The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Public Health said that next week, the Department of Medical Sciences will announce the results of the immune test in Thai people which is a detailed examination by province To see how Thai people have a landscape, for example, injecting 70 people may have a landscape at 80 people because some of them have already been infected.
Reporters asked about the goal of injecting 100 million doses by December 5, 2021. Dr. Keabitpoom said that it is unlikely to be reached. Because many people have been vaccinated by the Ministry of Health to campaign in the community. travel for vaccination Go to areas that are really inaccessible. Sometimes only 5-10 people can be injected. Currently, Thailand has vaccinated a large number of Thai people, which is the first dose of more than 72 percent, which the Prime Minister wants up to 75 percent. It is expected by the end of this year. Should not be a problem, as for the second needle, the injection covers more than 60 percent, asking for cooperation from all parties to vaccinate. which emphasizes that there are enough vaccines
“It’s not that we didn’t get the target and it’s bad because 100 million doses, but we can do 95 million doses. We have done our best. If we cut grades, we have graded A, and 100 million doses is to be the best,” said Dr. Kiatpoom.
When asked about the availability of booster doses for people this year. If omicron species are found to change faster. Dr. Kiattipoom said that the booster dose will be injected with the Pfizer vaccine. and AstraZeneca The Pfizer vaccine this year has ordered 30 million doses and 4.3 million injections have been given to 4.3 million students for a total of nearly 10 million doses. It is estimated that 20 million doses remain, while 20 million doses of Astra are considered redundant. But I don’t want to think that vaccines are the only factor, for example, China injecting lethal infections. but few infections because there are very strict preventive measures and must be quarantined for 21 days or more
When asked about the booster dose, the 3rd dose is given to the recipients of the cross-formula vaccine with the 1st needle Sinovac and followed by the 2nd needle. Out for 6 months, but is in discussion with Dr. Opas Karnkawinpong Director-General of the Department of Disease Control whether it can be reduced to 4 months or not, because, for example, in the case of 2 injections of Astra, it is 4 and a half months, so in another 1-2 weeks, it may be open to vaccination boosters for cross-synovial formula recipients. Followed by Astra, asking people to follow the announcement from the Ministry of Health.
Reporters reported that Information on vaccinations in Thailand From February 28 to November 29, 2021, the cumulative injection of 92,658,390 doses was divided into the first dose of 48.07 million doses, accounting for 66.7% of the population, while the second needle, 41.21 million doses, or 57.2%, and the second dose.
