So far, parents of about 300,000 children in this age group have registered for the first jabs.

Permanent Secretary for Public Health Dr. Opas Karnkawinpong said vaccination for children aged 5-11 have curbed COVID-19 outbreaks at schools.

Data from the Ministry of Public Health also showed that at least 82% of the country's population have been vaccinated.
