Covid vaccinations Bangkok (Jan 2024)

[SooKee]

Couldn't decide whether to post this here or in the Bangkok section but, as anyone that interested in Covid will likely seek out this section, I decided on here.

 

The MoPH have recently announced that booster vaccinations are available at 69 Public Health Service Centres across Bangkok.  Bear in mind these are Health Centres so you need to check their days / hours of operation for boosters.  It's all in Thai so you'll need Google Translate or a Thai to help if you can't read Thai.

Here's some additional info on that...

 

The good news is, the government after being quiet on COVID vaccines for quite a long while recently, has just begun promoting details their availability in Bangkok since the start of the new year. The offering below involving local public health centers is for every Wednesday.

 

The bad news is, unfortunately, the vaccine they're offering is, as the graphic below indicates, the older Pfizer bivalent version, and not the newer Pfizer or Moderna monovalent vaccines launched in the U.S., U.K., and elsewhere last fall that target the newer XBB-heritage variants.

 

For expats, as long as you can show you're a long-term resident here and not a tourist (such as via a pink card or visa/extension stamp in your passport), then there should be no charge under the government's program.

 

I've reached out to several agencies here lately on the issue of when/if Thailand, either the government or private hospitals, are going to source the newer vaccines... And so far, the answers have been silence.

fyi.... I don't think the older bivalent Pfizer vaccines for adults are available anymore from the BMA health clinics. But these below now are available.
