Choice of jabs neededThere are no signs the Covid-19 pandemic will leave us any time soon. Thus, it is important for Thailand to stockpile vaccines and let the public choose their own vaccines. That's why the government is racing against time amid high global demand in Covid-19 vaccine market to build up a local stockpile. It should rope in the private sector including private hospitals and corporates, to give the public a choice of jabs. Government spokesman Anucha Burapachaisri last week said a committee on the procurement of Covid-19 vaccines had agreed Covid-19 vaccines would be added to the controlled goods list.
