On the morning of June 7th, local time, Thai Prime Minister Ba Yu, accompanied by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Health Anutin, Minister of Interior Anupong and Minister of Communications Sashayan, went to the largest rail transit center in Southeast Asia — — Bangkok Banglike Station, visited the largest COVID-19 vaccination site in Thailand, and officially started the nationwide vaccination work.
Ba Yu delivered an online video speech at the scene, asking about the progress of vaccination sites across the country, and promised the people of the whole country that the government has prepared enough vaccines and will distribute them to all parts of the country one after another, so that everyone can get vaccinated. He thanked all the departments and staff who worked hard for the vaccine-related work, and said that as the prime minister, he would be responsible for all problems.
The vaccination point of Bangkok Bangxiang Station has arranged 500 medical staff to provide services, and the daily vaccination amount can reach more than 10,000. At present, the planned vaccination ratio is 50% for government staff and 50% for the public. Inoculators must make an appointment in advance through the mobile phone applications of major telecom operators.
COVID-19 vaccination in Thailand started at the end of February this year. Due to the limited vaccine supply, the previous vaccination was mainly aimed at medical workers and high-risk groups. (Reporter Li Min, General Desk)
