Health officials in the Thai capital Bangkok arranged for about 1,500 pupils aged 12-18 to get Pfizer-BioNTech vaccinations on September 21, 2021. Bangkok Governor Aswin Kwanmuang has set a goal of getting vaccines into the arms of 70 per cent of the city’s estimated over 1 million students aged 12 to 18 by November, when there are plans to reopen schools closed since December 2020. From October 4 onwards, the Thai government planned to vaccinate students aged 12 to 18 nationwide. In Hong Kong, UK, France and some other countries, children as young as 12 have been offered shots. US President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci also said Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines are likely to be approved for children ages 5 to 11 in the US before Halloween.
