BANGKOK (Reuters): Thailand's prime minister apologised and took the blame on Tuesday (June 15) for coronavirus vaccination delays, while thousands of private companies and public organisations raced to secure doses imported by a royal-backed academy.

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O-Cha said holdups were caused by supply and distribution issues, after some hospitals in Bangkok were forced to postpone scheduled inoculations this week.
