Expats fear jabs are not for themAs Covid cases and the death toll in Thailand steeply climbs, Dr Opas Kankawinpong, head of the Disease Control Department, on Thursday came out to pacify fears of the foreign community in Thailand -- at last. The government's message about how the authority will provide the foreign community much needed Covid vaccinations has been mixed. There remains much scepticism about how the government will overcome hurdles to provide Covid vaccines to foreigners living here. The authority itself struggles to provide vaccines to its citizenry. The heat intensified this month when "Mor Prom", a mobile phone application for people to book appointments to get state Covid vaccine inoculations, opened on May 1.
