Popular Post jayboy Posted February 16 Popular Post Share Posted February 16 Bangkok Hospital offers a higher dose flu vaccine for those who are 65+, apparently offering greater protection than the normal 4 strain flu vaccine.Price is Baht 2800 compared to Baht 700 - Baht 1000 or so for the usual flu jab. Not sure whether the higher dose is recommended for all 65+ or just those not in particularly robust health.My doctor has never mentioned the higher dose option when discussing vaccinations. Does anyone know about this? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HermesHermes Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) In Alberta, Canada the health authorities (at the government level) recommend it. They just wouldn't authorise the public purse to pay for it. That is until COVID, when at least for one year they did. Don't know if they have continued. I too wonder whether to get the vaccine because if I pay it in Canada it is double Thai price. What my pharmacist told me in Calgary when I got it in 2022 (?) was that it is twice the amount and stronger, but fewer variants taking the gamble at tackling. Or something like that.
