The companies have launched COVID-19 vaccination programme to all SEA-based employees and their family members as well as select employees of suppliers and trading partners. At the same time, the Sri Trang Group will continue to acquire additional doses of alternative vaccines for its employees and families in Thailand and abroad as well as select members in its supply chain to build confidence for all concerned and to help the countries overcome the current pandemic crisis as soon as possible.
