Thailand's health minister has said that Japan's government will donate some AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccines, as the Southeast Asian country seeks to shore-up supplies after some early delays in its vaccinations, Reuters reports.

An agreement will be signed on Thursday with the vaccines to be delivered around July, Anutin Charnvirakul said in a statement, which did not specify the quantity.
