Bangkok Governor Aswin Kwanmuang announced on his Facebook page on Thursday that the capital would from March start vaccinating the first batch of people considered to be at high risk of contracting Covid-19.

Aswin visited Bang Khun Thian Geriatric Hostipal on Thursday to check if the hospital was ready for vaccinations.

He would check the “readiness of the whole operation”, right from start – in which the elderly and medical personnel would be injected – to finish, in which those vaccinated would be allowed to return home, he said.

Bang Khun Thian Geriatric, Luang Phor Taweesak Chutinataro Uthit, Ratchaphiphat, Bang Khun Thian 1, Bangpakok 9 International, Bangmod, PMG, Nakhonthon and Boonyavej are among the hospitals in Bangkok that will provide vaccinations.
