Foreign migrant workers employed in the food and beverage (F&B) service sector in Thailand, who are not covered by the social security scheme, will be vaccinated. The Public Health and Labour ministries, as well as security agencies, have been working out the actual numbers, said Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul.

 

A special quota of vaccines has been sought by the Thai Restaurants Association for these employees, most of whom have been working in small eateries and are beyond social security coverage.

 

The association’s president, Thaniwan Kulmongkol, said today (Friday) that all F&B outlets are ready to comply with the “COVID Free Setting” regimen, which will become effective on October 1st, so they can resume business without interruption.

It won't happen... they don't have enough for the Thai population... migrant slave labour will not get preferential treatment.

This is BS for the opening of restaurants.

I prostrate myself in awe of the foresight of this man. I forecast that this nut will soon be promoted to kernel. Remember, you saw it here first....

so restaurants are now opened for several days, and right now there is an idea of vaccinating working there. 

If they got sinovac, it's fast process, but not great effect.

If they are lucky enough to AZ it's up to 12 weeks. So full protection they will have sometimes at the beginning 2022.

Sounds like a well thought out plan as per usual. Headline first and then this will quietly go away after the plan falls apart
