I got one Johnson & Johnson and four Moderna shots though.
September 18, 2025Sep 18 May I suggest ChatGPT is your friend? I plugged in the available options and got following advice on availability. Bangkok Hospital may be your ticket. Expensive. Boston Health. No prices. Chiang Mai Medical Health Clinic. I happen to get Flu vaccines from CM MediClinic, just North of Maya. They also respond quickly to emails.
September 18, 2025Sep 18 A couple of off-topic attempts to derail the thread have been removed. A reminder, the topic is "Where to get latest covid vax in Chiang Mai". "I don't want to know why you can't. I want to know how you can!"

CM Mediclinic, which I use for flu vax, does not list COVID vax as one of their services. When I asked them a short time ago they said it was not possible for them to get the vaccine. And Boston Polyclinic do not even list vaccinations as one of their services. That leaves Bkk Hospital which I will not use after two bad experiences there. Sorry I cannot give positive advice. I am also searching for an answer.

All the new variants and booster that have been available & recommended. I'm surprised you're still alive. I'm joking obviously, hopefully, obviously. Quick Google, and good GOD, they still seem to be recommending every 6 months. Even in 2025 ... WTF

September 19, 2025Sep 19 Popular Post I went Sinovac, Pfizer, Moderna......then another booster, no idea what. Had Covid twice for sure.......relatively mild, flu like for three/four days. Never felt or been aware of any side-effects from the vaccines.

How times change. 😂 Really depends who's presenting and who's funding the science. I don't follow the science, that I don't trust. I use rational thinking and common sense, and my own knowledge or experiences, to decide what's right for me. Along with listening to and possibly heeding the warnings of others, once researched. Weigh the effectiveness, need and or risk to use or not use. My body, my decision. Not a fan of unapproved, or approved for emergency only chemicals injected into my body. Especially when I'm not seeing any emergency. Learned decades ago, not to trust govt, or folks that will make profits, when pushing a product or agenda. Your body ... UP2U I know I don't regret not being vax'd, and sadly, can't say that about a few others that I know, that did get vax'd.

I am also searching for an answer. A few points: -Never said ChatGPT is the end-all of advice. However it does have value, especially with medical issues, of possibly pointing one in a helpful direction. One should do their own research. -The fact that Boston P. doesn’t mention vaccines shouldn’t preclude someone from emailing and asking questions. For all you know, they may have suggestions on vaccine availability. Same goes for MediClinic, who will helpfully answer questions even if they can’t particularly offer the service. -Your comments on Bangkok Hospital were frankly useless to the original poster. I’m sure I can find countless others with positive experiences at BH. And if they offer the vaccine….it’s a simple shot, not a complicated medical procedure. -And finally, as to your “collective stupidity” comment, AI is still in many ways a nascent technology but no question paradigm shifting. Your comments may say more about you than this remarkable tech.

I had the JN.1 vaccination in June 2025, expensive. But my foreign healthcare insurance covered 85% cost with Provider hospital.

There was a new variant around a year ago so seems you need at least one booster.

So it's worth checking there, too, for the latest covid jab.

There was a new variant around a year ago so seems you need at least one booster. At a large number of UK pharmacies you can get the Flu jab and Covid booster (dependent on age) at the same time commencing 1st October. Appointments can be booked online via the Gov.uk portal. Just booked an appointment for the two jabs for my 81 year old mother.
September 21, 2025Sep 21 I happened to see this today about the Stratus strain https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/covid-symptoms-2025-stratus-new-variant-strain-xfg-b2805973.html
