BANGKOK, April 27 — Thailand plans to use Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine at the third stage of COVID-19 immunisation starting August, a rollout schedule seen by state media shows.
Thailand has not yet approved the two-shot Sputnik V vaccine for emergency use, but the government has repeatedly suggested adding it to the tool kit, reported Sputnik.
Medical workers treating COVID-19 patients and people over 80 are at the front of the vaccine line. People with chronic diseases and those over 60 will be prioritised in the second phase starting May.
The national news bureau said that anyone who wants to get a shot would be given a chance in the third phase starting August. The health ministry will use Sputnik V, Sinovac, AstraZeneca and Pfizer vaccines.
