People aged 60 and over, women pregnant for 12 weeks or longer, and anyone weighing 100kg or more can walk in for a Covid-19 vaccination shot at the Bang Sue Grand Station from Thursday.
Having as many people as possible from these vulnerable groups vaccinated against Covid-19 will prevent severe symptoms and fatalities, said Dr Pairoj Surattanawanich, deputy director-general of the Department of Medical Services, on Wednesday.
Starting from Wednesday, the appointment-free vaccination service for vulnerable groups will be offered 9am-5pm daily until July 31, Dr Pairoj said.
As the outbreak situation remains critical, everyone needs to protect themselves from the virus by practising social distancing, washing their hands frequently and wearing a face mask even after they have been vaccinated, he added.
