Don't reject private helpThe government has announced a new plan to procure 100 million doses of Covid-19 vaccine to cover 50 million people by the end of the year, up from the 65 million doses it had originally planned to procure. From July onwards, the company has committed to produce 10 million doses per month, which brings the total doses available by the end of the year to 61 million doses. Last week, Gen Prayut invited the private sector to discuss ways to involve them in the procurement of additional vaccines. The PM may feel that the private sector's support in vaccine procurement isn't yet necessary. It's a good sign that the private sector is willing to help.
