The Employers' Confederation of Thai Trade and Industry (EconThai) is asking the government to clear legal hindrances blocking private hospitals from administering Covid-19 vaccines for employees as hospitals are reluctant to carry out vaccinations.

The Social Security Office (SSO) has assured employees covered under Section 33 of the Social Security Act (SSA) that the vaccination drive against Covid-19 will begin in June.
Its 80 contracted hospitals across the country are ready to provide them with the service, said SSO spokesman Nonthachai Panyasurarit.
He yesterday unveiled the office s plan to inoculate Section 33 members after Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha last week posted details of the government s vaccination programme on his Facebook page, saying employees under Section 33 of the SSA will be given priority.
Mr Nonthachai said Gen Prayut believes that Section 33 workers, mainly those who work in offices, are an important driving force in the economy.
