Pathum Thani Ramps Up Flu Vaccination Drive With 265,000 Doses

Pathum Thani Provincial Administration (PTAO) is reinforcing its role as a model local government organization in public health, continuing its aggressive flu vaccination campaign for the third consecutive year to build community immunity and sustainably improve residents' well-being. The initiative operates under the slogan "Good Health Starts Here: PTAO Cares About Your Health."

Influenza is a seasonal disease that occurs every year and affects public health broadly. Over the past three years, PTAO has recognized the importance of this issue and implemented proactive policies to secure high-quality vaccines for residents. Recently, Governor Kamnalwit Thupkrajang (Big Jazz) visited communities to inspect vaccination services and encourage residents, merchants, and students participating in the program. He announced that this year's campaign has distributed 265,000 free vaccine doses across the province.

Gov. Kamnalwit reported that public response has been excellent and growing each year, with increasing confidence in vaccine safety. Annual flu vaccination not only reduces severe illness and hospital admissions but also eases household financial burdens, strengthening the province's primary health care system and advancing it toward becoming a truly safe and healthy city.

PTAO invites at-risk groups, youth, and unvaccinated residents to receive free flu vaccines until July 31, 2025 at the PTAO multipurpose building (near Pathum Thani Market) and all health centers and stations throughout the province. No appointment needed—just bring your ID card. More details are available on the PTAO Facebook page. For inquiries, contact the PTAO Public Health Office at 02-975-8940–8, ext. 126.
