Nonthaburi province announced it will administer the AstraZeneca vaccine as a second dose after a first jab of Sinovac for its residents, starting from Tuesday.
It was the first province to jump on the cross-dose bandwagon. The Public Health Ministry on Monday decided the AstraZeneca jab will be administered three to four weeks after the first Sinovac injection.
Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said a combination of the jabs will allow greater immunity against the Delta variant of Covid-19.
The cross doses will be made available at non-hospital vaccination sites at Central Plaza Chaengwatthana, Wat Sai Yai s meeting hall, Central Plaza Westgate and The Mall Ngam Wong Wan, as well as to those who registered for vaccination via the Mor Prom (Doctors Ready) app starting on Sunday.
