Thailand's vaccination programme will be divided into three phases, with priority given to healthcare workers, the elderly and the seriously ill, government spokesman Anucha Burapachaisri said on Sunday.
The vaccines will be administered by the national vaccine committee and the Public Health Ministry will closely monitor and assess the procedures, he said. The first Thai is expected to be given a jab in February.
The spokesman said a report given to a meeting of the Centre for the Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) prioritises certain groups and outlines three phases.
