Education minister Treenuch Thienthong has revealed a plan to start inoculation of students in all 29 of Thailand’s COVID-19 “dark red” provinces in October, so that the second semester of the academic year can commence without online learning.

 

Students who are eligible for two shots of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine are those aged from 12 to 18 on the day of the inoculation at all schools.

 

The goal is to give at least one shot of vaccine to all eligible students. The minister noted, however, that the inoculation is on a voluntary basis.

Typical Thailand, the Education Ministry states one thing, Anutin's Health Ministry another!!!! 

We want to hear that you have done it, not more promises as we know they mean nothing

How about including teachers in this. Where I'm living, teachers at some schools are still waiting to be advised of when they can get their first jab.
