Everyone in Thailand - Thais and foreigners, including migrant workers - will have access to quality and safe Covid-19 vaccines, a government spokesperson said on Thursday.

The assurance was given during the daily Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration briefing at Government House, by assistant spokeswoman Apisamai Srirangson.

Everyone in the country, including foreigners, would have access to vaccines, she said.

"Vaccinations will include expatriates and migrant workers. The government intends to offer equal protection," she said.

The first, limited delivery of vaccine would be on Feb 24, Dr Apisamai said.

Later deliveries of vaccines, which would arrive in larger amounts, would reach workers in the service and tourism sectors.

Vaccination certificates would be issued to inoculated people who need to travel abroad. This would include business people and students, Dr Apisamai said.

The government would announce details about Covid-19 vaccination later, she said.
