A 40-year-old volunteer rescuer in Ratchaburi province in Thailand has died after receiving a third shot of the AstraZeneca vaccine that he obtained at the hospital on Friday at 4.17 pm.

Prasong Boonkhian, a rescuer worker for the Pathom Borom Rachanusorn Foundation, was found dead by his 64-year-old mom, Mrs. Noi Boonkhian, in his bedroom at 2 am. His body has been sent for a post-mortem examination at the Ratchaburi Healthcare facility.

His brother, Somkuan Boonkhian, said he was healthy and rarely fell ill.

After his vaccination, his brother began coughing at midnight. He complained from his room: “I am sure to die tonight”.

Later in the evening, his mother entered at 2 am and found him dead beside his bed, Mr. Somkuan stated.

Thailand has carried out 40 million dosages of vaccine, only 628 receivers of which had passed away, the Disease Control Department director-general Opas Karnkawinpong, stated.
