Walk-in vaccination services launched at all of Thailand’s sub-district hospitals

In an attempt to get about 16 million people their booster COVID-19 vaccine shots, sub-district (Tambon) health promotion hospitals will provide free walk-in vaccination services to members of the public and will arrange for staff to conduct group vaccinations at factories and offices where many people want to be inoculated.

Director of the Division of Communicable Diseases Dr. Vichan Pawan said today (Monday) that the Public Health Ministry has made it as convenient as possible for the public, including the elderly and children over 6 years old, to get vaccinated, in an attempt to reach the target of 60% of the Thai population being inoculated with booster shots, as part of the plan for COVID-19 to be reclassified as an endemic disease in Thailand.
