Thailand receives first coronavirus vaccines
Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha is expected to be among the first to receive the vaccine this weekend. Most doses have been reserved for frontline medical workers.
Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul earlier this week said 117,000 doses of AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine would also arrive on Wednesday and that Prayuth would be among the first recipients.
Thailand is expecting to take delivery of a further 1.8 doses of CoronaVac in March and April, to be given mainly to health workers and at-risk groups.
