BANGKOK, Aug 26 (TNA) – The Thai Chamber of Commerce sought more COVID-19 vaccine doses from the government to cover all workers in the manufacturing sector to protect the economy.

 

Poj Aramwattananont, vice chairman of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, said that COVID-19 vaccine provision should cover not only workers under Section 33 of the Social Security Act but also 1.3 million workers outside the social security system for the protection of workers in all manufacturing groups. The reopening of the country and COVID-19 control required vaccinations for workers in all sectors, he said.

The millions of immigrant workers are not feeding the Thais!

How can we get Cigna properly motivated to procure Vaccines rather than piggybacking on a pandemic! Free immediate vaccination for all those purchasing cover?

I don’t recall a situation where large businesses were prohibited from engaging in simple steps to protect their workforce and profits, ie vaccination. The government should have, at least, taken steps to ensure that the big guys got vaccines.

 

I don’t think that Big Money is going to forget this.
