According to the health ministry, about 85% of students, teachers and school staff in the dark red zone must be vaccinated against covid before they can be open to full-time education.

The authority to reopen schools will rest with the provincial infectious disease committees, which will review each school’s action before deciding.

A shipment of 2 million doses of Pfizer vaccine is due to arrive in Thailand on September 29, the bulk of which will be for children aged 12 years and older.
