Members of the public who are interested in getting inoculated against Covid-19 will be able to register in early May, ahead of Thailand's vaccination drive which is set to begin later in June, the government said.
Registrations will be done on the Mor Prom ("Doctors Ready") app, a new platform that was specifically designed to facilitate the government's vaccination programme, said Deputy Public Health Minister Sathit Pitutecha yesterday.
