BANGKOK (NNT) - The Public Health Ministry will allocate Covid-19 vaccine doses to frontline border security officers working to stem the flow of people fleeing Myanmar into Thailand.

 

Department of Disease Control (DDC) Director-General Dr. Opas Karnkawinpong said the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) had agreed to dispatch vaccines to police and military officers guarding northern border areas where an influx of people from Myanmar had been reported.

 

He said those officers routinely come into close contact with migrants and those fleeing the unrest in Myanmar.
