Thailand on Sunday (June 6) reported 2,671 new COVID-19 cases and 23 deaths.


Of the new infections, 604 were found in prisons.

Sunday’s cases bring the total number of COVID-19 infections in Thailand since April 1 to 148,604 with 1,236 deaths.

The news comes as the Centre for the COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) on Saturday confirmed up to 58 separate clusters in Bangkok, the majority being at markets and construction workers' camps, all of which have been put under maximum surveillance.

On Monday (June 7), Thailand will officially begin its mass vaccination program.

The government aims to vaccinate at least 70 percent of the population by the end of year.

To date, just over 4 million vaccine doses have been administered to people in Thailand, mainly to the elderly, those deemed most at risk, frontline healthcare workers and people working in the tourism industry.

Kiattaphum Wongrachit, permanent secretary of the health ministry, has given assurances that Thailand will have enough vaccinations for use throughout June.

On Friday, AstraZeneca said Thailand is on course with production of its locally made vaccine.

I'll be getting my second shot of AZ on June 25th. This means it will be 14 weeks between shots. I did not feel any pain or have any side-effects with the first jab. Good luck.

LYM, 14 weeks is a big spread between shots, what vaccine did you receive?

It’s only a little over the U.K. 12 week interval for his vaccine (AZ)

Yes, it seems too long. I wonder if it will still be effective. It is the Astra Zenecca dose. People who had the Pfizer or Moderna dose in Canada will be able to get their second within 4-6 weeks, which is much better.

Just received this from the BKK Udon Hospital.
Want payment up front for 4 months worth of Covid "flip flops"!
Then maybe the fee includes a visit to the psychiatrist?
