The government on Wednesday said it was still on track to receive and administer a coronavirus vaccine by China’s Sinovac Biotech starting next month, despite data from a Brazil trial that showed 50.4% efficiency, health officials said.
“There is no impact on our plan right now,” Supakit Sirilak, Director-General of Medical Science Department, told a briefing when asked about Brazil’s data.
“We are asking for information directly from Sinovac, so we are waiting for their response to get all the facts,” he said.
