Young Pattaya-area students received Covid-19 vaccinations as a new school year began.
Parents brought their 5-11-year-old kids to the Nongprue multipurpose dome May 19 for their second Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine shot, almost two months after the first jab, more than the recommended three weeks.
More than 10% of very young children have not been vaccinated in the Pattaya area, with parents fearful of side effects. That rate, however, is much higher than the national average for the 5-11 group.
