Covid-19 authorities in Hua Hin have applied for 1,000 doses of Covid-19 vaccinations for people in the area of a cluster of infections at a pineapple factory.

 

Manager reported that 115 positive cases have been reported at the Quality Pineapple Products factory on the bypass between Cha-Am and Pranburi. 

 

They are workers from Myanmar.

 

A further 16 have symptoms and have been tested.

 

A total of 402 workers are being quarantined at the factory until May 20th.

The infected workers have not travelled far from the factory so their timelines are all local.

 

But Dr Suriya Khuharat of the Prachuap Khiri Khan department of public health said that the situation remains a concern. 

 

Hence the vaccination request to allay fears among the populations in the villages next to the factory.

 

He said that there were no illegal workers at the factory but there had been considerable difficulties in getting timeline information from the workers due to the language barrier necessitating the work of interpreters.

This knee-jerk vaccine reaction is crazy. The infection is in the area, it takes 3 weeks or more for the vaccine to work. They need to get a proper organized nationwide vaccine program going, elderly and vunerable first , then by age.
