BANGKOK, March 16 (Bernama): Thailand is to begin administering Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine on Tuesday (March 16) after a brief delay due to concerns over its safety, with Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O-Cha and members of his cabinet being among the first to receive the vaccine jab.
Virology expert from Bangkok s Chulalongkorn University Prof Dr Yong Poovorawan will administer the vaccine to Prayut at the Government House at 8.30 am (local time), announced Deputy Prime Minister and Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul.
Earlier, Anutin had said many countries continue administering the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine as there were no proof the vaccine caused blood clots as claimed.

The Criminal Court has dismissed a petition by the Digital Economy and Society Ministry to remove a clip criticising the government’s Covid-19 vaccine policy by Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit.
On Jan 18, the former leader of the disbanded Future Forward Party broadcast a video criticising the policy live on Facebook, YouTube and the website of the Progressive Movement, which he now chairs.
Two days later, the ministry filed a complaint with the police’s Technology Crime Suppression Division, accusing Mr Thanathorn of royal defamation (Section 112) and breaching the computer crime law.
