You know how that goes,  paper work backwards and forwards to make it more difficult and to delay things in a pandemic 

Pandemic or not let's just do the same idiot things that we always do...

If it comes in after its expiration date, at -70° they can always use it to keep the shrimp cool on a market...

I don't think they're asking. But for the rest you're correct.

The reported 178.2m doses should be enough to vaccinate the whole country and give them boosters too.

Then again, who am I to argue with the numbers?

I've run out of tissues again

And I thought it was flooding from rain  in CM it's you running out of tissues.

I'll be a favorite son of any country who'll donate the Mvax

Ok....so Thailand gets the license to produce Astra Zeneca...then can't (for whatever reason), produce enough vaccine to provide for othe countries. So another country is supplying Astra Zeneca to Thailand???

You may have missed earlier discussions.

AZ Thailand produces under license and contract. The contract specifies the doses that are for Thailand and the rest is to be exported. AZ headoffice even put out an open letter in an extraordinary move to rebuke the Thai government for quoting wrong numbers... I'm sure you can google it
