Channel 7 reported that the Thai government would be working with principal players in the private sector to help deliver the vaccine rollout.

 

On board are groups such as the Federation of Thai Industries, The Thai Chamber of Commerce and the Thai Bankers Association.

 

Groups such as these will be working in four key areas including vaccine procurement, public relations, places where vaccine can be administered and use of tech.

 

Industrial estates, import export companies, malls and gas stations will all be able to play a vital role. 

 

The aim is to vaccinate 50 million people in Thailand or a target of 70% by the end of the year.
