AstraZeneca has built a manufacturing base in Asia and Serum Institute of India, the world's largest vaccine manufacturer, has been contracted by the company to produce one billion doses of the vaccine for developing nations.

Bangkok, AP. The Prime Minister of Thailand received a shot of the COVID-19 vaccine produced by AstraZeneca on Tuesday. Please tell that AstraZeneca is under suspicion at this time. Some European countries have temporarily banned the AstraZeneca vaccine. The report said that there have been some serious cases of blood clotting after vaccination. However, the PM of the Asian country dispelled concerns about the report in Europe, saying that so far there is no evidence of any such serious evidence regarding the vaccine.

AstraZeneca has built a manufacturing base in Asia and Serum Institute of India, the world's largest vaccine manufacturer, has been contracted by the company to produce one billion doses of the vaccine for developing nations. Hundreds of millions are to be produced this year to give vaccines to Australia, Japan, Thailand, and South Korea.

After receiving the first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine, Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-ocha said, 'There are people expressing concern, but we should trust doctors, trust our medical professionals.' Last week, Thailand was the first country outside Europe to temporarily suspend the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine. Indonesia said on Monday, it was waiting for a full report from the World Health Organization regarding possible side effects. But Thailand's health officials decided to go ahead with AstraZeneca, with Preyut and members of his cabinet receiving the first shots.
