To effectively control the coronavirus pandemic, the government must not only focus on importing vaccines. It s equally important to ensure vaccines are assigned appropriately to prioritised groups the elderly, those with seven underlying diseases and above all frontline medical workers.
Failing to do so will only fuel mistrust and indulge some of those in power to abuse their positions. Above all, it will result in more Covid cases. The government must be careful not to let crucially needed vaccines fall into the hands of certain VIP groups or even those non-assigned such as seen in a case in Buri Ram province, where 11 local police officers were given AstraZeneca as a booster shot despite claims they were not frontline workers.
