BANGKOK, March 2022 – The Government of Japan, under the ‘Last One Mile Support’ initiative, and in collaboration with UNICEF, is providing high-quality equipment for vaccine storage and transport, worth some 25 million baht (approximately USD 750,000), to support Thailand’s efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19 and ensure that people in remote areas and regions most in need receive quality vaccines.

 

Through this partnership, vaccine storage and transport equipment is being delivered to hospitals and medical units across Thailand to assist the Ministry of Public Health with safely storing and transporting COVID-19 and routine vaccines to people, including in the most remote areas of the country.

 

These included 1,720 units of cold boxes, 1,000 vaccine carriers; and 1,000 units of temperature monitoring devices for mobile vaccination. With this equipment, health workers can deliver life-saving vaccines for on-site vaccination in remote villages, including Mae La Ka and Mahin Luang of Khun Yuam District in Mae Hong Son Province, and in southern border provinces, including Yala, Pattani, and Narathiwat.

In addition, 230 ice-lined refrigerators and 50 freezers are set to arrive in Thailand in the coming weeks to support the delivery of equitable access to the population throughout the country.

 

Since the beginning of the outbreak, the Government of Japan has supported Thailand’s COVID-19 response through several initiatives. In addition to delivering vaccine storage and transport equipment and other critical supplies, Japan has donated 2.05 million doses of vaccines and 868 oxygen concentrators in 2021.
