Chulabhorn Hospital to stop giving Sinovac and AstraZeneca vaccines from June 14th

14 Sept 03:04 Key points summarised by AI

Chulabhorn Hospital will suspend free Sinovac and AstraZeneca vaccinations from June 14th due to a lack of allocation from the Public Health Ministry, publicly apologizing for the service disruption.
Individuals who have received their first dose of either vaccine will still get their second jab, while the hospital actively procures alternative vaccines like Sinopharm, expected this month for a fee.

Thai MP Suchada Zhang Thaensap faces intense scrutiny over her husband’s substantial 1.84 billion baht wealth, with opposition lawmakers alleging connections to international scam networks.
A significant portion of her husband, Taiyang Zhang's, declared assets includes a 1.44 billion baht loan to the now-bankrupt cryptocurrency hedge fund Three Arrows Capital, which still owes him 1.34 billion baht.
Opposition MP Rangsiman Rome accused Suchada's husband of links to online scam networks and gambling sites, prompting Suchada to vehemently deny the claims, demand evidence, and file a defamation complaint.
Taiyang Zhang's background includes co-founding Ren Protocol, later sold to Alameda Research (linked to the FTX collapse), and some of his former associates have been convicted in crypto company failures.
Suchada, a former actress and first-time MP, maintains her husband's innocence, while her party leaders have distanced themselves from the allegations, deeming it a private matter.
