Khaosod: Thailand to start vaccination against COVID-19 in mid-February

The newspaper Khaosod writes about this, referring to the medical authorities.

“The scheduled start date for vaccination is February 14th.

There are still many factors to consider, but we want to start vaccination as soon as the vaccines are delivered to the country, ”said Thavi Chotphitthayasunon, an expert at the National Committee on Infectious Diseases.

He noted that health workers will be the first to be vaccinated.

Also, a number of doses of AstraZeneca vaccine, the first shipment of which will be delivered to Thailand in mid-January, will be reserved for the vaccination promotion campaign.

This vaccine will be used to inoculate well-known people who are "respected".

Earlier, the WHO estimated data on the increase in deaths due to the British strain of COVID-19.
