The National Health Security Board has approved laboratory testing and medication for treating vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) under the Universal Coverage Scheme (UCS)’s benefits package.
The introduction of VITT laboratory testing and treatment in the UCS’ benefits package aimed to instil confidence in the Covid-19 mass vaccination programme.
“The Thai government will take care of people experiencing adverse effects after receiving a Covid-19 vaccine,” Anutin Charnvirakul, Public Health Minister and NHS board chairman.
Vaccine recipients who experience symptoms caused by VITT can request free laboratory testing at their registered hospitals. They will receive free treatment, too, if they are diagnosed with VITT.
