Thailand is considering regulating the amount of locally manufactured AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines to be exported, a senior health official said on Wednesday.

The Director of the National Vaccine Institute, Nakorn Premsri, said the health ministry will start talking to AstraZeneca with the aim of securing a sufficient amount of vaccine for domestic use before issuing the order.

Thailand has been producing the vaccine since June and will export the vaccine to several other countries in Southeast Asia.
