Similar to the annual influenza vaccine, the Public Health Ministry wants this summer to be the first in which individuals receive yearly Covid – 19 booster shots.
As cases of Covid – 19 infections spiked double last week as a result of the global spread of XBB, deputy government spokeswoman Rachada Dhnadirek stated on Sunday that Thailand still needs to keep an eye on the disease. A substrain of the Omicron variant is 1. 26.
The majority of those who passed away during that time were members of the so-called” 608″ at-risk collection, which includes people over 60, people with underlying conditions, and pregnant women.
This summer, the government urges people to receive both the flu and Covid – 19 vaccinations.
Covid – 19 vaccines are available for free to the general public at public hospitals, while the price of bullets at personally run facilities varies.
Additionally, the influenza vaccine is offered for free to at-risk individuals.
A completely flu shot is available once a year to Social Security Fund consumers over 50.
Flu shots will be available at their preferred facilities this year from Monday through August 31.
Thais who received Covid – 19 photos three to four months ago are advised to have boosted to lessen the severity of attacks by the Public Health Ministry. Major companies like Pfizer and Moderna offer double types and upgraded variations of the vaccine.
In order to provide seven at-risk groups with 2.9 million doses of flu vaccines against three variants — A H1N1, A H3N2, and B Victoria — under the universal health scheme, or gold card scheme— for free until August 31, the National Health Security Office and the Department of Disease Control will open vaccination sites.
Pregnant women, infants between the ages of 6 months and 2 years old, patients with chronic diseases like obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, heart condition, stroke, kidney failure, cancers, diabetes, people over 65, albumin and immunodeficiency, individuals weighing more than 100 kg, and those with aphasia are among these groups.
