'The mutations were something that could not be predicted, which have caused a more rapid spread than last year,' said Thailand's National Vaccine Institute.
A Thailand health official apologized for the country's failure to acquire enough COVID-19 vaccines as rapidly spreading COVID-19 cases and deaths set new records in the country.
"The mutations were something that could not be predicted, which have caused a more rapid spread than last year," Nakorn said as the Delta variant has contributed to the country's infections."The vaccine procurement effort did not match the current situation." The spread of the highly contagious Delta variant of the virus has exacerbated the situation, as Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha's government seeks to buy vaccines to supplement the modest amounts it has on hand of Sinovac and Sinopharm from China and locally produced AstraZeneca.
The government explained in February that it did not join COVAX since Thailand is categorized as a middle-income country and it would not get free or cheap vaccines from the program. It claimed it would have to pay high prices in advance without knowing which vaccines it would get and when it would get them.
