13 Sept 09:04 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand's Education Ministry will inoculate 4.5 million students aged 12-18 with Pfizer vaccines starting October in 29 COVID-19 "dark red" provinces.
The plan aims to enable the second academic semester to commence with in-person learning, making student vaccination entirely voluntary.
Over 70% of school staff are already vaccinated, with remaining staff to receive shots next month as part of broader efforts to secure school environments.
A "Sandbox Safety Zone in School" (SSS) project will support boarding students' return by establishing in-school isolation and safety zones, with the first 2 million Pfizer doses arriving September 29th.
