13 Sept 03:41 Key points summarised by AI

Approximately six million Thai senior citizens remain unboosted against COVID-19, primarily due to concerns about side effects or the belief that a booster jab is unnecessary.
Health officials stress the critical need for three vaccine doses to prevent severe illness and hospital overcrowding, citing a study that shows three jabs are 93% effective in preventing severe symptoms requiring ventilators.
The Public Health Ministry continues its campaign urging people to get three or more vaccine doses, assuring their safety and effectiveness in boosting immunity and preventing severe outcomes, with no fatalities reported among those who received four doses.
