In the part of Sinovac Inactivated vaccine Dr. Yongphu Worawan, MD. Head of the Center for Specialization in Clinical Virology Chulalongkorn University School of Medicine Provides a simple understanding of how many vaccines have been given in the past, such as rabies vaccine, polio vaccine, and hepatitis A vaccine. process Side effects should be comfortable. For those who fear the side effects of the Sinovac vaccine Who are about to receive an injection in Thailand Then feel comfortable AND vaccination so that the Thai population has immunity. To overcome the crisis Or called as a national vaccine And ask all sectors to try to import as many vaccines as quickly as possible So that various conditions Come back quickly

Why is Sinovac only injected between the ages of 18 and 59?

This story has the answer that From the registry in Thailand Sinovac vaccination data are still available in a small number of people over 60 years of age. From Phase I to Phase 3 studies, almost 4% of those over 60 were allowed. In an emergency with people aged 18 to 59 years and not injecting in children under 18 years because data was not available in studies in this age group. In practice, you must follow the rules that are established. And in the future, when there is enough information about injection in the elderly, vaccination in the elderly will move. That in the future or in the short term There is a very high probability of advancing towards age. When there is enough information

“People aged 60 and over AND are at high risk of contracting or contracting COVID-19. And it is very dangerous For example, Dr. Maha Sarakham Province Was able to give But the benefits of the vaccine should be evaluated. Instead of the side effects that will occur Where the doctor provided all the information AND the person accepts the risk It can be done with the consent of that person “

The Prime Minister also prepares the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine

Many people are watching who will be the first in Thailand to receive the first COVID-19 vaccine yesterday (February 23, 2021) The Deputy Prime Minister joined the Minister of Public Health as Sia Nuu, Anutin Charnwirakul Say for yourself that the Prime Minister should come first. Because it is the leader of the country That requires a risk assessment process By the Department of Disease Control Ministry of Public Health It is a step by a universal method. It is not a special way to treat any person. But it will be the Astraseneca Vaccine. Because the Sinovac vaccine has age restrictions. As for when to inject, wait for Dr. Sophon Mekthon, Deputy Minister of Public Health. As Chairman of the COVID-19 Vaccine Management Administration Subcommittee To clarify the details And when the prime minister After being vaccinated, he can perform his duties normally. For the injection gap between the first and second syringes, Sinovac should be spaced between 14 and 28 days. Spaced about 6 weeks apart


Fire, don’t take items, don’t register, inject the public

Not only the AstraZeneca vaccine, which was suddenly said to arrive on the same day (February 24), has raised some questions. Because the previous fanfare focused on the Sinovac vaccine.When asked to go to the memorandum, he replied that “I can’t say anything. It’s a sensitive issue” Is the AstraZeneca vaccine made in Italy? “I can’t tell, I can’t tell, it’s a secret. Get there first But he’s coming tomorrow” Confirm that the prime minister vaccinated the first dose of astraZeneca, the first or not “It must be so” So which company will my rat get the COVID-19 vaccine? “We cannot choose ourselves. It is on the committee to consider.” How safe will you be not to interfere with the COVID-19 vaccine? “It all depends on the COVID-19 vaccine management committee. I brought the vaccine to Thailand. From now on it is a question of medicine. The subject of my academic work is not on the board. It’s no different: February 28 or March 1. Ready for every spray. Both Sinovac and Astra Seneca were registered. We don’t have the unregistered merchandise to inject people. “


3 days in the laboratory to know the quality of the vaccine

What’s more Dr. Supakit Sirilak, MD. Director General of the Department of Medical Sciences He also discussed the preparation of a laboratory (laboratory) for the quality of the COVID-19 vaccine. From the first Sinovaclat that The laboratory is 100% ready to test the quality of the vaccine. In which the sample to be examined The Pharmaceutical Organization (GPO) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will be sampled for the Department of Medical Sciences. Check for safety, both physical and chemical, even if the vaccine is precipitated. Are there dangerous additives? Check identity AND test the potency of the vaccine in response to the COVID-19 virus That after receiving samples AND the analysis begins, it will take about 3 days to know the results.

On the side “Big You” As the leader of the government, I believe that the Thai people will definitely get all vaccines for free. But in the first phase, it will be with the target groups according to the previous plan. And you can start injecting within 3 days after receiving the vaccine to confirm. Because everything is related to the safety of all Thais in the country. Therefore, it is a matter of being concise. There is a step-by-step program in accordance with the state plan for maximum safety. And for vaccination to be effective in preventing the outbreak, we urge everyone to continue to wear masks, wash their hands frequently, and maintain social distances. This will provide the best possible security against COVID-19.



In a few hours, Thailand will have the COVID-19 vaccine from both companies before being transported to the warehouse. And after laboratory inspection and the quality is safe. You will start injecting the first needle for the first person. Who will it be, Prime Minister Lung Tu? When will I get the vaccine? We will probably meet soon
