Thailand plans to begin its national Covid-19 vaccine rollout from Feb. 14, starting with healthcare and front-line workers as the Southeast Asian nation battles a new wave of infections, according to the Health Ministry.
As vaccine availability remains limited, target groups with higher infection risks will be administered the shots during the first of a three-phased rollout plan, Permanent Secretary of Public Health Kiattiphum Wongrajit said Monday.
