BANGKOK (The Nation/ANN): National vaccination efforts are running slower than expected, causing a backlog of doses to build up, Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) spokeswoman Apisamai Srirangsan said on Monday (July 26).
The Department of Disease Control reports that vaccines have been delivered to other provinces but there are still about 2 million doses that have not been used. Hence, health officials are urging local agencies to speed up vaccination efforts.
The number of people given jabs in Thailand on Sunday fell below 100,000 – to 90,934.
That took the total number of doses administered to 15,960,778, the CCSA reported.
In Bangkok, 56.24 per cent of the population have received their first dose, while 54 per cent of those aged 60 or over and 70.52 per cent of vulnerable people with chronic disease have had at least one dose.
BANGKOK (The Nation/ANN): The first lot of Pfizer Covid-19 vaccines will arrive this month, the Ministry of Public Health said on Sunday (July 25).
Some 1.5 million doses will be given to frontline medical professionals, with at least 500,000 doses from August onward, while another lot of over 20 million doses will be provided free of charge to people in risky groups and those living in risky areas starting October.
People in high-risk groups include elders over 60 years of age, people with seven underlying health problems and pregnant women.
“Any news that say the Pfizer quota for frontline medics has been reduced to only 200,000 doses are fake,” Public Health Ministry spokesman Dr Rungruang Kitphati said on Sunday.
