The Royal College of Physicians of Thailand (RCPT) has urged the government to pull out all stops to secure more vaccines as new, highly transmissible variants of Covid-19 now prevalent abroad are diagnosed more frequently domestically.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the RCPT emphasised the need for the government to ensure protection against new coronavirus variants for both those who have already been vaccinated and people who have yet to be given their first dose. All bureaucratic red tape needs to be cut to accelerate the import of Covid-19 vaccines so they can begin the safety and efficacy certification process mandated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), said the RCPT.
