The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has launched six walk-in vaccination facilities to encourage COVID-19 inoculation before the upcoming Songkran festival.
These centers provide convenient, no-appointment vaccine access for all nationalities, with specific operating hours and locations across Bangkok.
Health authorities strongly urge unvaccinated individuals, particularly those over 60 and with underlying diseases, to get their shots to minimize health risks during holiday gatherings.
Booster doses are also highly recommended for fully vaccinated individuals to enhance protection against severe illness, hospitalization, or death from COVID-19.
