Thai Beef demands reversal of health minister's denial of vaccine to Thai chef

This sparked a fierce debate on the suitability of such a decision as the currentgroups of elderly people and registered citizens with 7 major diseases did not receive the full dose of vaccine. The responsible ministry confirmed that companies and organizations can request vaccines for mass immunization if necessary. They asked the public not to consider this as a special privilege or management liaison.
