scott hyde, le, has more from bangkok. yeah, we're one of 25 vaccination sites here in bangkok, the capital this is at a high end mall here. they're saying they'll probably be able to vaccinate, maybe 2 and a half to 3000 people a day. you know, there's really been a slow vaccine roll up. that's why there's such a focus on today. this is something the government's been talking about for months . this mass vaccination roll out, we're seeing a lot of it focused in the areas that have seen a lot of those cases in the 3rd wave that began back in april. so they're focusing on the areas they called that the dark red areas, bangkok being one of them, the main one. so that's why there's really a big focus here. now, in the vaccines are using our astrazeneca for the most part, that is a locally produced version of astrazeneca. and there's been a bit of a controversy surrounding that. but that's what we're looking at today. we know that this month of june, they're supposed to get $6000000.00 doses of astrazeneca so far. they have 18
