snoop1130 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 BANGKOK (NNT) - According to the government, Thailand is purchasing a total of 140 million doses of Covid-19 vaccine this year, to achieve its target of vaccinating 50 million citizens. Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana, spokesperson of Thailand’s Center for Economic Situation Administration, has reported that Thailand’s Covid-19 situation has been showing better signs. Daily recoveries have been around 20000 for over 20 days in a row. Daily new cases have also been fewer than daily recoveries. According to the statistics, even though daily cases are still high, the trend has started to decline. To achieve the target of vaccinating 50 million Thai citizens in order to create herd immunity by the end of this year, the government aims to have purchased 140 million doses of Covid-19 vaccine by the end of 2021 and to be distributing them to all areas covering people of all ages including foreigners. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister assigned the Ministry of Public Health to procure Covid-19 vaccines for children aged 12-18 years who need to go back to school as soon as possible. In addition to schools reopening, schools where the majority of students and all teachers have been vaccinated will be pilot schools for the “Sandbox Safety Zone in School” program, to see if going back to school is safe enough and does not create a new cluster. -- © Copyright NNT 2021-08-30 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gottfrid Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 And what is happening to the other 40 million doses? As far as I know two doses of a good vaccine is enough for one person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
