Private sector seeks to import 5m jab doses

Private sector seeks to import 5m jab doses published : 23 Apr 2021 at 06:22 2 The Joint Standing Committee on Commerce, Industry and Banking (JSCCIB) plans to ask Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha to allow the private sector to import 5 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines by the end of this year during a meeting with the premier next Wednesday. Gen Prayut has expressed interest in the private sector helping with vaccine distribution after criticism of slow progress in the jab rollout. The government wants to talk with us after we announced plans to help with the vaccination scheme, said JSCCIB chairman Supant Mongkolsuthree. The committee wants the government speed up processes in issuing import licences for vaccines approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

Thai business group trims 2021 GDP outlook after new virus outbreak

By Reuters Staff 2 Min Read BANGKOK, April 21 (Reuters) - Thailand’s joint business group on Wednesday trimmed its 2021 economic growth forecast for the second time this year to 1.5-3.0% from 1.5-3.5% after a third wave of coronavirus infections, despite improved exports. The tourism-reliant country is struggling with a new outbreak that includes a highly contagious variant, with over 17,700 infections recorded in three weeks, dealing a blow to its already slow economic recovery. The new economic projection is based on an assumption that Thailand will meet its vaccination targets and introduce fiscal measures of more than 200 billion baht ($6.39 billion) to support the economy, Supant Mongkolsuthree, chairman of the Federation of Thai Industries, told a briefing.

Virus spoils Phuket plan

(Photo by Achadtaya Chuenniran) The ongoing Covid-19 outbreak will cause a setback to the state s plan to reopen Phuket to foreign tourists as 2021 GDP growth is likely to decrease by 1.5–3%, the Joint Standing Committee on Commerce, Industry and Banking (JSCCIB) predicts. The third wave will further affect the tourism industry, which had earlier been earmarked to make some recovery when the government announced plans to allow vaccinated foreigners to travel to the resort island without quarantine starting on July 1. Like other provinces, Phuket has not escaped the rapid spread of transmissions amid the third wave after recording 242 new cases since April 1.

Minimising risks of vaccine inequality

Minimising risks of vaccine inequality 17 published : 22 Apr 2021 at 04:00 17 In this file photo, a healthcare worker prepares a syringe with a dose of Covid-19 vaccine as part of the government s inoculation programme. (Photo by Pattarapong Chatpattarasill) That Thailand is in the midst of a fast-spreading third wave of Covid-19 infections while public vaccine procurement and rollout remain uncertain is indisputable, despite the government s reassurances otherwise. While allowing the private sector to import 10 million additional doses of vaccines is welcome, a host of issues need to be thought through and communicated to the public to alleviate concerns of unequal access and profiteering by insiders. To ensure the additional vaccine procurements by the private sector can accelerate vaccine coverage based on fair and equal access, not superseded by money and privileges, the following issues should be addressed and clarified.
