Thailand implements a 'mix and match' vaccine strategy for individuals aged 18 and over, primarily using Sinovac for the first dose and AstraZeneca for the second, three weeks apart.
Children aged 12-18 with underlying conditions and pregnant women (12+ weeks) will receive two doses of Pfizer, three weeks apart.
Frontline medical personnel and those fully vaccinated with Sinovac or Sinopharm are eligible for AstraZeneca or Pfizer booster shots.
Neutralizing antibody tests indicate that two Sinovac doses followed by one AstraZeneca dose provide the highest immunity against the Delta variant.

Uthenthawai students and alumni declare truce with Pathumwan rivals

Yesterday 20:34 Key points summarised by AI

Uthenthawai students and alumni have pledged to cease violent clashes with Pathumwan Institute rivals, coinciding with their campus's reopening after a 90-day closure.
The Minister of Higher Education is mediating the long-running conflict, while the campus closure has significantly disrupted in-person classes and laboratory work for over 1,000 students.
Uthenthawai resists relocation from its current site, citing a historical land grant from King Rama VI, despite Chulalongkorn University's plans to reclaim the land for an educational hub.
Concerns are mounting over the legality of the campus closure, its detrimental impact on uninvolved students, and the potential commercial development of the land, which critics argue contradicts the late King Rama VI's intentions.
