How to get booster (third dose) in Bangkok (got 2 previous doses outside Thailand)

[anotherfarangishere]

Hello everyone,

 

I got two doses in Malaysia in June and July: booster dose in Bangkok - I landed on Dec 17 - would be fine but it doesn't seem easy if you didn't get the previous doses in Thailand.

 

Does someone has informations ?

 

Thank you !

You could just not tell them that you had any vaccines already, and get a "first dose".

Pay for a Moderna shot.

Central Vaccination Center (CVC) at Bang Sue Grand Station in BKK has a walk-in line for those needing boosters who are outside of the Thai health system. They're offering Pfizer for free. Bring your passport and previous jab evidences. Don't forget to the get the yellow slip of paper before you leave, and check that all of your bio data is correct.

Download the QueQ app from App Store or Google Play. You can make an online booking for any booster you want - Moderna, Pfizer or AZ. 

 

App menu is in English, but vaccination centers are in Thai. Overall pretty easy to manage though, our whole family got a booster appointment within a few days at the Thonburi vax center.

 

It's for first, second and third shots, Thai citizen and foreigners. I don't think they distinguish whether you had your other shots abroad.

 

Gd luck!

Thank you but it seems Bang Sue is for people who have got their previous doses in Thailand.

The first tranche of Moderna which was delayed well over 6 months and delivered last November has probably all been allocated. There was a delivery of 3.7 million Moderna shots the first week of January which is part of the second tranche. I would inquire at the nearest private hospital as they were the ones that got the first lot.

 

Bumrungrad are taking orders and vaccinating with Moderna now.

Read the small print for eligibility. I think they are still beholden to the 6 months since the last jab (of two) rule.

Thank you: I'm going to check it. It seems there is a consensus about getting Moderna as booster after 2 doses of Pfizer is the good solution.

There are already numerous threads in this topic, just go back a few days.

 

Bottom line, just book at MedPark.  Forge t Bumrungrad, still refusing to provide a date (could be months away) but Medpark is taking appointments for late Jan into Feb. We just did this a week ago. Contact them on Line first for further instructions.

Thank you. Looks like a great hospital, I didn't know it (I'm registered at BNH). I'm going to contact them.

We searched for a place that would do this for quite some time.  Called ahead, confirmed we could get a Pfizer booster after 2 initial Pfizer jabs.  No luck.  Most places are only giving Pfizer boosters to those who've had Sinovac, Sinopharm or AZ.  We went to several places trying to get our booster.

 

Finally, got a recommendation from Richard Barrow's Twitter feed.  Download the QueQ app and search for THG.  Pick a date and then a time and you can get your booster there.  We got ours yesterday.  It's in the Thai PBS building up near Don Muang.

 

I think Bang Sue is doing it also, but it's a very long wait in line.  Thai PBS was really fast.  In and out in under and hour, including parking!  Super staff there, all social distanced, and you can get your proof of booster right then.

Thank you for your advice. Did you get Pfizer as a booster ? I got 2 Pfizer and it seems getting Moderna as booster is the best solution, slightly better than getting a third Pfizer jab https://www.homage.sg/resources/covid-vaccines-booster-shots/

Was it free or did you have to pay ? 

[Jeffr2]

I needed to get my booster soon as we might have to leave the country in a few weeks.  Pfizer was easier, but yes, heard Moderna is very good also.  Either way you go, both are great!

in Bangkok? Just search on the interwebs and FB, look for private hospitals.

 

Google Private Hospitals Bangkok Moderna

 

Some have reported success at https://www.praram9.com/en/

 

You can also try the grey-market where folks are trying to sell their Moderna reservations.

Well, I contacted them: they answered very quickly but they want you to pay BEFORE to give you an appointment. It's not fine for me.

Well, I just booked for Feb 3 and it took few seconds. I'm going to try to contact them about the fact I got my two previous shot in Malaysia. Anyway, thanks again for your help !

Went this morning and everything worked smoothly. They didn't take care my previous shots were outside Thailand, everyone was friendly and trying to help. Thank you so much again for your help !

I used the QueQ app, went to the Thai PSB building and got Pfizer (as I already got Pfizer for the two previous doses).

 

Thai PSB seems well known from taxis. It's also very close from Thung Song Hong station on the new Red Line.
