Virologist Dr Yong Poovorawan, head of the Centre of Excellence in Clinical Virology at Chulalongkorn University, said on Monday that the free programme is aimed at collecting data to assist vaccine development in the future.

He added that while the disease may potentially become seasonal, even those who have received at least two doses of the vaccine will see their antibody levels decrease as time passes, with new sub-variants expected to emerge along the way.
