“I understand that it is Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha, the Prime Minister has a hard time when he doesn’t inject, people find that he is not confident and afraid even though he wants to inject But enough to be injected, it will be accused of stealing the people. But in terms of medicine and public health alone, the Prime Minister is the first risk group to be injected. Because they had to go out and see their brothers and sisters There is a risk and the Prime Minister is an elderly person. Have a chance to touch an infected person
As for the risk area criteria, the Prime Minister is also in Bangkok. It is considered a group that needs to be vaccinated. However, the Sinovac vaccine is not yet available to people over the age of 60 because more information is needed. Therefore, clinically, we do not recommend the Sinovac vaccine. But whenever the Vaccine AstraZeneca has been certified as a standard in the UK. You are also in the criteria to get this vaccine. It’s also nice to have sympathy, ”said Dr. Opas.
Dr. Opas said that Mr. Anutin Charnvirakul, Minister of Public Health. Not yet 60 years old, but as a personnel Must come in contact with people who have a chance of infection Classified as those in the target audience Because of visiting the area and contacting people at risk of infection And qualifications can inject both Sinovac and EstraZeneca But I have to adhere to the principle of voluntary not compulsory because to force the Prime Minister will have to give the injection now would not be.
