(Bloomberg) -- Thailand plans to inoculate the majority of the adult population in Bangkok in the coming months to quell a flareup in virus infections that’s made the capital city the epicenter of the nation’s biggest Covid-19 outbreak.
More than 7 million residents will be able to get their shots at hospitals, malls, gymnasiums and mobile vaccine units, according to Sophon Mekthon, vice minister of public health. With only about 5% of Bangkok’s adult population currently vaccinated, the goal is to reach 70% as soon as possible, he said.
