Bangkok Bank joins Bangkok Social Security Office Area 8 to open the Bangkok Bank Club as a vaccination center for Social Security Fund members
June 07, 2021
Bangkok Bank Executive Vice President Thaweelap Rittapirom expressed that Bangkok Bank and Bangkok Social Security Office Area 8 join hands to support the government on accelerating Covid-19 vaccination to build the country’s herd immunity by providing the Bangkok Bank Club as a vaccination center for members under Section 33 of the Social Security Act. The Bank has prepared the venue to offer drinking water to those who come for the vaccine and medical staff and has provided staff to help clean common areas and restrooms in the club to prepare for the project, which will last for almost two months.
The vaccination center at Bangkok Bank Club is located in Soi Pramote on Srinakarin Road. It serves as one of six vaccination centers by the Bangkok Social Security Office Area 8 who is responsible for Bangna, Prawet, Phra Khanong and Suan Luang Districts. Within these districts, there are 150,000 social security members registered for vaccine. The Bangkok Bank Club facility in Bangna can accommodate 1,000 people each day and is under strict preventive measures issued by government agencies. The center is open from 8.00 a.m. - 5.00 p.m. every day, from June 7 - July 26, 2021 for members under section 33 of the Social Security Act.
“As a trusted partner, Bangkok Bank is ready to stand beside and face this crisis together with Thai people. We do not only offer assistance measures to help alleviate financial burdens for both businesses and retail customers, but also support government projects, especially the acceleration of the mass vaccination rollout. This is one of the national agenda items that all parties are able to contribute to in order to get through this difficult situation as quickly as possible,” said Mr. Thaweelap.
Deputy Permanent Secretary of Labour Ms. Aumpun Thuwawit added that the vaccination center for members under Section 33 of the Social Security Act at the Bangkok Bank Club is the 14th out of 45 centers. The vaccine offered is Astra Zeneca. To receive the first dose of the vaccination, members will have to go through six steps: checking the member’s right to receive the vaccine, registration, health and blood pressure check-up to make sure that member is in good health, recording the member’s information in the system, receiving the vaccination, and moving to the rest area to observe any symptoms for approximately 30 minutes. If there is no sign of any side effects after that, members can go home and return for their second dose at the scheduled time at some point in the following three months.
Members under section 33 who have registered for a vaccination can check the details regarding the vaccination service points at Bangkok Bank Club through all Bangkok Bank channels, including Bangkok Bank website, Bangkok Bank LINE Official, or ask for more information at Bualuang Phone at 1333 or 0 2645 5555.
