Grant Description

On November 12, 2021, the Chinese Embassy in Thailand facilitated the donation of vaccines, oxygen generators, and oximeters.

The Chinese Government delivered 500,000 donated doses of Sinovac Covid-19 vaccines to the Government of Thailand on May 17, 2021 (see Record ID#95790).

Then, on June 5, 2021, the Chinese Government delivered another 500,000 donated doses of Sinovac Covid-19 vaccines to the Government of Thailand.

The Red Cross Society of China delivered an additional 100,000 donated Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine doses to the Government of Thailand on August 28, 2021 (see Record ID#95792).

Then, in October 2021, the Government of Thailand announced that it would not place orders for further shipments of Sinovac vaccines once its supply ran out at the end of the month, since the country’s public health authorities planned to switch to AstraZeneca and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine doses.

The decision to end the use of the China-made vaccine came after over 31.5 million Sinovac doses had been administered throughout the country.

Then, on November 12, 2021, the Chinese Government delivered another 1,500,000 donated doses of Sinovac Covid-19 vaccines to the Government of Thailand (see Record ID#95793).

Approximately one month later, on December 8, 2021, the Chinese Government delivered 200,000 donated doses of Sinopharm Covid-19 vaccines to the Government of Thailand for use by members of the royal family (see Record ID#95795).

Then, on January 8, 2022, the Chinese Government delivered another 500,000 donated doses of Sinovac Covid-19 vaccines to the Government of Thailand (see Record ID#95796).

Less than a month later, on February 4, 2022, the Chinese Government delivered 100,000 donated doses of Sinopharm Covid-19 vaccines to the Government of Thailand (see Record ID#95797).

📋 Staff Comments

According to the UNICEF COVID-19 Vaccine Market Dashboard, the price of a single Sinovac/Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine dose is $18 (https://www.oecd.org/officialdocuments/publicdisplaydocumentpdf/?cote=DCD/DAC/STAT(2022)33&docLanguage=En). As such, AidData has estimated the monetary value of the November 2021 donation as $27 million.
The donation value does not include the value of the donated oxygen generators and oximeters.
