Popular Post webfact Posted June 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2023 Parents are being advised to get their children under one vaccinated, as they are the most vulnerable to COVID-19 infection of all age groups and are at risk of developing severe symptoms or even dying if they have underlying conditions. Dr, Tares Krassanairawiwong, director-general of the Disease Control Department, said that, from January 1st to May 20th,the COVID-19 infection rate among under children less than a year old was 1,581 for every 100,000 of the population, followed by 647 for 100,000 of the population among people aged over 70. From May 28th to June 3rd, there were 3,085 admissions to hospitals, or an average of 440 cases a day, representing an increase of 4% from the previous week. 386 were diagnosed with lung infections and 243 of them needed ventilators. The death toll was 68, or an average of 9 per day, 97% of whom were over 60 or had underlying diseases. It was also discovered that 45.6% of those who perished had not received a vaccine booster shot for over three months or had not received two vaccine shots. Dr. Tares assured parents, who are reluctant to have their children vaccinated due to fake or distorted news, that vaccines are safe, adding that millions of vaccine doses have been administered to children and it has been proved that the vaccines are safe.

The group said countries should consider prioritizing vaccines against more threatening diseases for healthy young people, but it did not recommend against COVID-19 shots, which it said are safe and effective." https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-who-guidance-2023-covid-vaccines-children-teens-418558787448 1 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if the Thai MoPH can report this kind of COVID infection rate data above for different age groups for 2023 thus far, does that suggest they in fact are continuing to internally / privately track the country's numbers of COVID infections / positive tests -- even though they've ceased publicly reporting that data???

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Part of the WHO's guidance to countries in dealing with their COVID vaccinations policy is that each country should be responsive to the particular local conditions / circumstances in their locale. It appears that's exactly what the Thai MoPH is doing here, as explained in the OP article: "Dr, Tares Krassanairawiwong, director-general of the Disease Control Department, said that, from January 1st to May 20th, the COVID-19 infection rate among under children less than a year old was 1,581 for every 100,000 of the population, followed by 647 for 100,000 of the population among people aged over 70." MoPH seems to be saying infants thus far in 2023 in Thailand have the highest per capita COVID infection rate of any age group, hence the vaccinations recommendation.

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 (edited) All of this, meanwhile, is an interesting diversion from the fact that the latest MoPH weekly update showed Thailand's new weekly COVID hospitalizations and COVID deaths at new year-high levels for 2023. It's almost like MoPH doesn't really want to talk about or focus on those facts, and Thai PBS certainly didn't report them.
