Thailand has delayed the rollout of the AstraZeneca s Covid-19 vaccine over reports of blood clots, despite there being no evidence of a link to the jab.
The country s prime minister was due to kick off the country s vaccination drive by getting the vaccine on Friday. This has now been cancelled.
The delay comes after a number of countries, including Denmark and Norway, suspended the use of the jab.
Around 5 million Europeans have already received the AstraZeneca vaccine.
Thailand s public health ministry said it made the decision because the country had not been hard hit by the virus and it had other vaccines it could rely on in the meantime.
New Zealand needs to send representatives into detention centres in Australia and they would see the brutal way detainees are treated, an advocate says.
