Thailand to import 600,000 doses of H1N1 vaccine
Thailand, which has recorded five H1N1 deaths, will import 600,000 doses of anti-influenza vaccine in September or October, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said Thursday.
Abhisit said the vaccine will be dispensed first to high-risk groups, such as medical personnel, the state-run Thai News Agency reported.
He urged the public not to panic about the new virus, also known as swine flu, which has claimed five lives in the kingdom since the first victim was recorded on June 20.//DPA
