BANGKOK (NNT) - The Prime Minister thanked everyone in Thailand for their help in getting Thailand close to meeting its goal of administering 100 million doses of the Covid-19 vaccine.

 

Deputy Spokesperson to Prime Minister’s Office Ratchada Thanadirek said Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha has expressed his gratitude to the Thai people for helping Thailand nearly reach its vaccine goal of 100 million doses.

 

According to the latest "Moh Promt" report on December 15, 2021, about 98.5 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been administered to people in Thailand.

 

Every province has administered vaccination to people of all ages and nationalities, with a focus on inoculating people who are hard to reach, such as fishermen, bedridden patients, and people in low-population and border areas, as per government orders. Officials also made mobile vaccination services available to the public as well.

 

The Prime Minister thanked everyone for helping the government prevent the spread of Covid-19 by voluntarily cooperating in their vaccination campaign. He believes Thailand will reach the government’s target of 100 million doses by the end of this year.

Educate, vaccinate, eradicate.

Still over 3500 per day !  1% death rate.  Not much to be thankful for !  

Well, I'll give credit where it's due - it's been a reasonable effort (but could have been quicker, and with better quality vaccines).

 

But the PM's 100 million aim is an arbitary figure (for a population of 70 million).

 

Many have had third and fourth jabs, and some none ...

Let's see how well they do with Omicron and Boosters!
