Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha yesterday received the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine as his booster shot before attending the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow.
Kiattiphum Wongrajit, public health secretary-general, administered the shot at Government House before Gen Prayut took part in the 13th Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) Summit.
He received doses of AstraZeneca on March 16 and May 24.
Gen Prayut is scheduled to leave Thailand on Sunday and return on Nov 3.
Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said the PM was among the first in Thailand to receive two doses of AstraZeneca and a booster shot of Pfizer, an mRNA vaccine.
Mr Anutin received the Sinovac vaccine on March 1, becoming the first person in the country to do so.
