▶︎ Infections outside prisons: 2,887. Prisons: 53

▶︎ Recoveries: 2,798

▶︎ Total infections since April 1: 2,173,138

▶︎ Total recoveries since April 1: 2,114,760

 

Thursday’s cases bring the total number of COVID-19 infections in Thailand to 2,202,001 with 21,501 deaths.

 

The news comes as The National Vaccine Institute has approved a fourth dose of COVID-19 vaccine to boost immunity among specific groups.

 

According to Dr Opas Karnkawinpong, director-general of the Department of Disease Control (DDC), the latest meeting Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice (ACIP) initially approved a fourth round of vaccinations for medical personnel and frontline staff, patients with chronic illnesses and low immunity, and people who have had their third dose for more than three months.

 

Dr. Opas said people who receive the first two doses of an inactivated virus vaccine, followed by the third dose of a viral vector type vaccine, are advised to get an mRNA jab for their fourth shot.

There's a few million waiting for that now including a huge proportion in Phuket. Seeing as Phuket is still open for the sandbox it seems this would be a priority here.

Looks like Chonburi is having ups and downs in their stats. Wonder if it's locals or travelers causing the bumps upward.

Maybe testing, Worldometers shows roughly 3 times tests to Thailand per capita but then deaths are lot higher, which could be down to many reasons, poorer medical care, less vaccination or case don't test and someone dies and is not post tested, never know. In my own view I struggle to believe figures from any country in full, many are under counted, some over counted. Does anyone believe China with 1 billion population only has 50-100 cases a day? Cambodia 3 a day like yesterday. Unless there was a defined criteria worldwide and all countries followed it to the letter I think it will be difficult to do direct comparison.

The Covid infection in the Israeli man who flouted hotel quarantine in Bangkok and traveled to Pattaya and Samui is now confirmed as having been caused by the Omicron coronavirus variant. The man is reportedly harboring only a low concentration of the virus.

Low concentration,what in God's name does that actually mean? Still contagious right? Asymptomatic?  How many days since he tested positive? A question is how long has an omicron infection been lasting.

A three-dose course of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine is effective against Omicron, the company said, citing data from an Oxford University study. Its findings match those from rivals Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, which say a third shot of their vaccines works against Omicron.
