Along with the international community, Thailand is implementing a mass vaccination programme to create herd immunity and end the Covid-19 pandemic.

The National Health Security Board has approved laboratory testing and medication for treating vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) under the Universal Coverage Scheme (UCS)’s benefits package.

More than 260 people have sought compensation, and 162 were approved for serious side-effects attributed to vaccination, Dr Jadej Thammatach-aree, secretary-general of the National Health Security Office (NHSO), revealed.

The Civil Servant Medical Benefit Scheme (CSMBS) is always seen by many people as a benchmark for future improvements in the Universal Coverage Scheme (UCS), despite their differences in several aspects.

The National Health Security Office (NHSO) on Wednesday approved compensation of THB400,000 for a 50-year-old Phatum Thani man who died five days after receiving a dose of Covid-19 vaccine.

The National Health Security Office (NHSO) has so far paid out almost THB1 million to 150 people who suffered from adverse reactions after receiving Covid-19 vaccinations, the office’s secretary-general Dr Jadet Thammathat-Aree said on Tuesday.

The National Health Security Office (NHSO) is holding virtual public hearings to improve the Universal Coverage Scheme (UCS) and answer stakeholders needs, a senior official has said.

People who have allergic reactions after receiving Covid-19 vaccine will be compensated by the National Health Security Office (NHSO), the office’s secretary-general, Dr Jadet Thammathat-Aree, said on Sunday.

All Thais who contract Covid-19 would receive free treatment, the concerned state agencies assured on Thursday.

The National Health Security Office (NHSO) has decided to provide up to THB400,000 in compensation to those who have been permanently disabled or for deaths caused by Covid-19 vaccines. The amount was set by the NHSO committee on Monday.

Every Thai at risk of contracting Covid-19 can get a free test and treatment at any public or private hospital.

If someone asked me to describe my last four years as Secretary-General of the National Health Security Office (NHSO), I would say it was “like riding a rollercoaster”.
