Vaccination Program For Thai Children

[Shrek]

My wife and two small children are from rural North East Isan and have been in England with me 3 years now.

The children are aged 8 and 6.

I recently needed to update their medical records at the doctors, and had to admit to not knowing what vaccinations they had had whilst in Thailand.

I have discussed this with my wife, and, whilst she says they have never missed any jabs, she hasnt a clue what they have had. The languauge barrier on things like disease names does not help neither !

I have looked on the World Health Organisatiion website and they seem to say that their statistics (for 1995) showed that 98% of Thai babies aged one or younger had the following jabs: -

• Measles
  
• Diptheria, Tetanus and Pertussis (DTP3)
  
• Hepatitis B
  

Does this sound like a safe assumption for two 'normal' kids from this rural area ?

Cheers.

depends if your kids are in the 98% or the 2% group

I have answered this request before for another guy - I can get you both the thai Health Dept list and the Thai Paediatricians list of mandatory and reccommended vaccines.

I just happen to be sitting in our BKK office with the Dr's who advise on this.

If you PM me a email address i will send you the excel file - i will just pop out and get it for you now
