All expats living in Thailand are eligible to receive the Covid-19 vaccine, according to deputy spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Natapanu Nopakun. He says Thailand plans to roll out a "massive vaccination plan" to vaccinate all people who are living in Thailand, including foreign residents.
"All people residing in Thailand, regardless of nationality, are eligible to receive the vaccine under the plan."
He made the announcement during the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration's daily briefing today. Natapanu says more information on the vaccination plan for foreigners residing in Thailand will be released at a later date.
Health officials in Phuket and Koh Samui, tourist destinations that have been said to be of "economic significance," have already been rolling out mass vaccination campaigns in an effort to reach herd immunity and reopen the islands to foreign tourists by July.
An expat who works as an English teacher at a school in Koh Samui says he received both doses of the Chinese-made Sinovac Covid-19 vaccine this month. He says the school helped with the registration process and both doses of Covid-19 vaccine were free.
