Thailand is ramping up the rollout of fourth COVID-19 shots to residents in its tourism-dependent regions as the nation gears up for border reopening next month.
Authorities are offering AstraZeneca and Pfizer vaccines in Bangkok, Phuket, Krabi and seven other provinces to those who have received their third dose at least three months ago, the health ministry said. The Southeast Asian nation has already administered more than 800,000 fourth doses, mostly to healthcare workers and those in high-risk groups, official data showed.
Thailand is among a short list of countries including Chile and Israel that are offering the fourth shot.
