  1. Out of curiosity. May I ask what is your concern? For my entire career I have seen many family asking for fewer shot. This is the first time I have ever heard of someone asking for more shot.

     

    I also understand if you do not want to answer.

    today I went to mahidol travel clinic for a first time pneumonia. I was refused because I am below 65 and don't have underlying.

    So I went for MMR for 550b, a booster to one which i probably had a child.

    They were insisting on flu, also offering hep A and japanese ence. I have refused.

    Does anybody know clinic in bangkok where is I can get Pneumococcal vaccine 13 Prevnar?

    At mahidol it goes for 2700b

    Virtually any pediatrician clinic.

  3. Popular name for ADHD is "โรคสมาธิสั้น" and sometimes "โรคซนสมาธิสั้น"

     

    I would recommend books by pediatric psychiatrist Dr Prasert Plitponkanpim "ทำอย่างไรเมื่อเจ้าตัวเล็กสมาธิสั้น" ("What to do when your kid have ADHD". Should be available at many bookstore including se-ed and naiin.

    mRNA.... DNA (e.g. GSK's vaccine) ..... I don't think it makes much difference. At least not to me.  My concern is focused on the actual proteins.  One of the ways that viruses evade the immune system is to make viral proteins "look" like host proteins.  This means that a vaccine (or infection) could trigger an autoimmune reaction that is self-sustaining.  So far it sounds like the vaccines are safe.  Unless I see any red flags reported I plan on getting vaccinated.

     

    To put the mRNA issue in perspective, that's essentially what RNA viruses are - strands of protein encapsulated in some way to protect the genetic material from degradation and facilitate entry into cells.

    That won't happen if the manufacturer do not produce such lookalike protein. Why would they?

    I'm really impressed that you've surveyed all Thai people on what they call this key to come to the conclusion that "most Thais" call is "space bar".  Or are you simply making this up?

     

    30+ years of living in Thailand I have never met any Thais who called this by name other than สเปซบาร์.

    Also I have never surveyed all Thai. Nobody had. Ever.

  6. If you take flu shot every year around this time. Then go for it.

    If you take flu shot at the beginning of THAI flu season (around May) , wait for next May.

     

    Flu shot is practically everywhere vaccines are provided.

    Pediatric clinics are safe bet.

  7. Government provide decent vaccination schedule

    Rotavirus vaccine is included in national plan now. Not an extra vaccines anymore.

    "better" vaccines with "less side effects" are real at certain ages. Specifically those at 2,4,6,18 months and 4 years. These vaccines include pertussis vaccine. There are 2 types of pertussis vaccine; whole-cell and acellular. Acellular pertussis vaccine has significantly lower side effect: including fever. Many Thais parents and even some doctors refer to the combination vaccine which includes acellular pertussis vaccine as "No-fever version" Which is partially true, for there are some children who still develop fever despite get a no-fever version of vaccines.

    If you consider having much less (not zero) chances of post-vaccination fever is worth (2000*3)+1800+1500 baht then go for it. I did.

    Other vaccines that are still consider extra includes
    - conjugated pneumococcal vaccines.
    - influenza vaccine (in some areas there are special projects that provide free influenza vaccines)
    - Dengue vaccines
    - Varicella (chickenpox) vaccines
    - Hepatitis A vaccines

    My advise: if money is not problem - go for all extra vaccines you can get.

  8. Yes but please ensure that the relatives are OK with this.

     

    Currently, there are no guarantee that the doctors can honour the living will without being sued later, if it goes against relative's decision.
