Apparently the thai-owned company (siam bioscience) which was supposed to start making the vaccine can't fulfill the request at this time for some reason...(i'm trying not to laugh as i type this). Also, those quoted in the article claim that the only vaccine that thailand has processed an urgent purchase order for to date is sinovac from china.
This will undoubtedly cause a further delay in mass vaccinations.
Just too much fun!
