The Public Health Ministry has reiterated its call for almost 2 million elderly to get jabs against Covid-19, saying half of the deaths recorded last week were among people not vaccinated.
Dr Tares Krassanairawiwong, director-general of the Department of Disease Control (DDC), said despite the downtrend in Covid-19 infections and deaths, the elderly are vulnerable and vaccines are effective at preventing severe symptoms and deaths.
