CRA's AstraZeneca booster jabs to begin Oct 20, Moderna registrations open on Oct 29
13 Sept 06:42Key points summarised by AI
Thailand’s Chulabhorn Royal Academy (CRA) will commence AstraZeneca booster shots from October 20th for individuals who received two doses of Sinovac or AstraZeneca.
Registrations for Moderna and Sinopharm booster shots will open on October 29th, specifically for organizations and hospitals.
Booster shot schedules vary by age group and initial vaccine type (Sinovac or AstraZeneca), with specific dates outlined for those over 70, 59-69, under 59, and individuals with underlying diseases.
CRA advises against AstraZeneca boosters for women under 40 or those prone to blood clots, and recommends optimal timeframes between doses for different vaccine brands to enhance immunity.
Uthenthawai students and alumni declare truce with Pathumwan rivals
Yesterday 20:34Key points summarised by AI
Uthenthawai students and alumni have pledged to cease violent clashes with Pathumwan Institute rivals, coinciding with their campus's reopening after a 90-day closure.
The Minister of Higher Education is mediating the long-running conflict, while the campus closure has significantly disrupted in-person classes and laboratory work for over 1,000 students.
Uthenthawai resists relocation from its current site, citing a historical land grant from King Rama VI, despite Chulalongkorn University's plans to reclaim the land for an educational hub.
Concerns are mounting over the legality of the campus closure, its detrimental impact on uninvolved students, and the potential commercial development of the land, which critics argue contradicts the late King Rama VI's intentions.
