FTI supports inoculation plan

The Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) is planning to provide full support for the state-private inoculation programme, which aims to achieve a target of 100 million doses before the year-end deadline.

The FTI is preparing to hold talks with the Joint Standing Committee on Commerce, Industry and Banking (JSCCIB) to help the government in its vaccination push.

“The FTI is confident the economy will recover faster if the government can distribute vaccines quicker than it is now,” said FTI chairman Supant Mongkolsuthree, referring to plans to vaccinate 70% of the country by year-end 2021.

JSCCIB has set up four teams responsible for vaccine distribution and logistics, communication, IT operation and extra vaccine procurement to work with the government.

With help from the private sector, the FTI believes vaccine rollout in all provinces will be smoother and quicker….
