The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) plans to procure a million doses of Covid-19 vaccines within two weeks for people in Bangkok, while the Public Health Ministry has also pledged to solve the bed shortage crisis.
CCSA assistant spokeswoman Apisamai Srirangson on Wednesday said the vaccine plan set a target to vaccinate 70% of Bangkok s population, but as of now vaccines have been given to only 43.6% since Feb 28.
The Disease Control Department said it plans to procure 500,000 doses by next week and get a further 500,000 the following week to vaccinate Bangkok s remaining residents, Dr Apisamai said.
