A total number of 91,879 people nationwide have received Covid-19 vaccines in the past 24 hours. Of that, 6,257 people had received their first shot with a Sinovac vaccine and 33,690 people had their first shot with AstraZeneca, marking a total of 39,947 people who received the first doses.

Last night, the Minister of Interior has revoked an order issued on Saturday asking provincial governors to provide Covid vaccines to staff and their families working for ThaiBev provide Covid vaccines to 71,445 ThaiBev employees and their families nationwide after heavy public criticism and discussion on Thai social media, questioning that the government may have prioritized Southeast Asia’s largest and famous drinks company. The Interior Ministry, meanwhile, denied this claim and said it was merely meant to ask for support in general.
