Popular Post webfact Posted June 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2021 By Cod Satrusayang Thailand’s vaccination program is set to hit another roadblock in the coming months as vaccines, both local and imported, start to become more available, a source inside the Ministry of Public Health told Thai Enquirer on Friday. According to the source, even if millions of vaccines were suddenly available the country does not have the capacity to inoculate more than a set number per day creating a vaccination bottleneck. “We don’t have the personnel to inoculate millions in a quick amount of time, it will become a logistical issue next,” the source told Thai Enquirer on condition of anonymity.

Popular Post RandolphGB Posted June 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2021 ‘One of the major hurdles in the way of the government’s plans to increase its inoculation capacity has been the lack of coordination between various government ministries and organs.’ It’ll take over a year to vaccinate the whole population, by which point, nobody knows how the virus will have developed 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffr2 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 We've got a friend who's an ex-nurse. She and many others were called back into action. She spent 3 days at a hospital with hundreds of others getting prepared to help with the mass vaccinations. But, doesn't look like they'll even have enough jabs right now...crazy times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
