BANGKOK, Oct 17 (The Nation Thailand/ANN): The Education Ministry has announced that as of Thursday (Oct 14), more than 864,000 students in the 12-18 age range had received one jab of the Pfizer mRNA vaccine.

Though the Royal College of Paediatricians has advised that boys aged 12-16 be only given one jab to prevent the risk of myocarditis or heart inflammation, the Public Health Ministry is reconsidering this advice.
