snoop1130 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 At least one COVID-19 vaccination centre will be set up in every province in Thailand, to provide services at a cost, exclusively for foreign tourists on voluntary basis. This will not affect the vaccine supplies reserved for Thai citizens, according to Public Health Permanent Secretary Dr. Opart Karnkawinpong. He said that foreign long-term stayers, members of the diplomatic corps and their families are eligible for free vaccination. Vaccination services for foreign tourists were launched on January 18th at the Bang Rak medical centre and at the Institutes for Urban Disease Control and Prevention in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Chon Buri and Songkhla provinces.

The vaccination fees are 800 baht for one dose of AstraZeneca vaccine and 1,000 baht for a Pfizer dose, plus a 380 baht service fee. ??? 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwill Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Are they still making the original Pfizer vaccine? If not when does this stuff expire. I'm waiting for the newer multi strain shot. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Willy Wombat Posted January 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2023 People can get the vaccines in their own countries if they choose to. Who goes on a vacation to a 3rd world/developing nation and puts in their itinerary that they will get vaccinated while there ? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cake Monster Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I guess there is a need to show the Global population that Thailand is trying to do something about its Covid situation. It was reported in a Newspaper out of BKK, that in the first 2 weeks of 2023, only a very few visiting Tourists were tested Covid positive. However, those that had to report their status to their returning Countries upon departure from the Country were a whopping 300-400 after testing. Go figure !

My thought was for the Chinese, coming in increasing numbers and having only the less efficient Chinese vaccine shots. As short term, they would pay for their shots, if I understand the wording.

swm59nj Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I don’t see what the big deal is. If a tourist wants to purchase a Covid vaccine here. It’s their money and their choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's really no such thing as "fully vaccinated" any more... although that was a term used in the early going. Not to mention, you were "fully vaccinated" with the original version of the COVID vaccines that weren't designed to fully counter the currently circulating, newly emerged COVID virus variants like BA5 and XBB, because those didn't exist back then at the outset of the pandemic.
