Covid- 19 boosters in chiang Mai

[scorecard]

My understanding is that free boosters (Moderna) are available for Thai and foreigners at Airport Plaza on Saturdays and Sundays.

 

Can someone please confirm whether this is correct.

 

Thanks.

The booster program at Airport Centran mall was conducted by Nakornping Hospital but is no longer being done at the Airport Centran mall.  I understand you can still get a booster at Nakornping Hospital and a couple of other places as noted in other posts.

A Thai friend of mine received a Moderna booster yesterday at CM Ram for 600 thb.  

 

Not free but not particularly expensive either.

Last 2 times I had a Moderna booster at RAM it was 1650 baht per jab.

Correct.  That was the previous price, recently reduced (apparently).

 

(I personally saw the bill yesterday and it was 600 thb.)

This is probably because Moderna's new version (bivalent - original & Omicron) has been approved in the UK (and other countries soon). Moderna is also working on a BA.4 & BA.5 version for the US.

Thank you, appreciated.  Has any CM member had a booster at Nakorn Ping hospital? Service OK, what fees did you pay? Please share.

I can confirm this is correct. I got both my boosters at Nakornping Hospital, Mae Rim, just walk in at 08:00 a.m., and choose between Pfizer and Moderna, both free.

Food for thought but the 600 baht CM RAM quote is a half dose. 1200 for full dose.

I'm told by several people that Moderna is free at the CM Mother and Child Hospital. Open 08.30. I believe the address is 1, Pracha Samphan Road, Chang Khlan 50100 tel.:053-272-740, 053-276-856

 

Not just for Mothers and Children! I'll go there myself in October (3 months after my Co-Vid)

When I got my first booster (Moderna) at Ram, I did ask about 1/2 dose and was told that their policy is full dose only…1650B

 

my guess is they don’t want to go into the business of splitting doses…so maybe they just reduced the price given that any resident can get it for free now at selected places?

  I don't believe this to be true.

 

  The inoculation that my friend had was the second dose of the primary series (not a booster) and it is annotated as such.  The second dose, like the first dose, is a full dose.  

 

  As mentioned previously, the cost was 600 thb.

Good to know.

In case anyone can benefit from this information: the Nakornping Hospital OPD in town (Changklan) does not provide booster shots; the main Nakornping Hospital in Mae Rim does.

San Kamphaeng hospital are doing Pfizer injections on Mondays 8-11AM. They even give you an updated CV19 certificate whilst you are waiting due to the compulsory 30 minute vital signs check post injection.
