The National Health Security Office (NHSO) is preparing to roll out assistance to people who have suffered side effects from Covid-19 vaccines.
While vaccines could help decrease the number of Covid-19 patients in hospitals and ease the burden on the country’s public health system in caring for them, there were odds of adverse side effects in some people with the severity varying in each person, said doctors.
To build people’s confidence in the vaccines, the national health security board, chaired by Public Health Minister Anutin Chanrvirakul, had approved financial assistance to everyone who suffers adverse side effects. Every Thai would be eligible for coverage by the NHSO.
