Thailand secures 26 mln AstraZeneca COVID vaccines
The announcement comes as other countries in the region like the Philippines prepare to sign similar deals with AstraZeneca and other firms to guarantee supplies.
The Oxford University-AstraZeneca team announced that the vaccine they are developing has been found to have between 70% to 90% efficacy, according to Prayuth.
Thailand's cabinet previously approved a budget of 6 billion baht ($198 million) for the purchase for 26 million doses for the immunisation of 13 million people.
