danfoss5000 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Can I get the immunizations for the following in Thailand? I'm keen to return but my wife wants to wait until our son turns 18 months so he can get his 18 month immunizations. I would prefer to pay to get it done in a clinic in Thailand. 18 months Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), Measles, mumps, rubella, chickenpox (varicella) Diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 You can get all of these in Thailand. If your child is a Thai citizen, the DTP (diptheria, tetanus and pertussis) and MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) at 18 months will be free at a government hospital or health center. Hib is free but in Thailand there is no booster at 18 months. You would need to pay for chickenpox avccine. Living in Thailand your child should also get immunized for Hepatitis B (HBV) and rotavirus if not already, and for Japanese B encephalitis. The latter s/he will not have gotten in farangland but it is quite important. Free for Thai children. Pre-exposure rabies vaccine is also recommended for children here, but not free if your child is nto a Thai citizen then would have to pay for all vaccines.
