Thailand's Disease Control Board approved a comprehensive 63-million dose COVID-19 vaccine management and distribution plan for 2021.
The plan secures 2 million Sinovac doses soon, 26 million AstraZeneca doses by June, and an additional 35 million doses, totaling 63 million for the year.
Inoculations will proceed in two phases: an initial phase (Feb-May) targeting high-risk areas like Samut Sakhon, and a second phase (June-Dec) for the general public, industrial, and tourism workers.
The second phase aims to sustain economic activity, bolster national security, and establish herd immunity across the population.
