The Department of Disease Control has urged more than two million elderly people to get Covid-19 shots before the Songkran festival as infections may soar during the festive period when families reunite across the nation.
Dr Sophon Iamsirithavorn, the department's deputy chief, said the department has voiced strong concern that 2.17 million senior citizens still have not received any Covid-19 vaccines, meaning their health could be jeopardised if they get infected.
