Thai Chi Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 On a recent trip to Australia i had my yearly check-up. including the normal set of blood tests. unfortunatley, my previous immunization for hep A was only marginal. my doctor suggested getting the hep A and B Twinrex shots. (3 needles over 6 months) as well as a typhoid shot. Question: are these vaccinations available in Thailand and if so, where and approx cost? I reside in Buriram. Any info: appreciated.

Trevor Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Don't fall for the medical mafia's vaccine crap ... http://www.mercola.com/2001/jun/27/hepatitis_a.htm This is written by a doctor WHO KNOWS. The only use of mainstream medicine is to listen carefully to their recommendations, and then do the EXACT OPPOSITE for GOOD health! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimdog Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Yes the dual shot is easily found throughout Thailand. If you have already had the A vacine then chances are you will only need a booster, so one dual vacine (good for a further 10 years) and two additional B shots (After one month and six months) and then you will be good for 10 years for both Hep A & B. I'm not sure of the cost but it is relatively cheap and certainly worth getting. Don't worry too much about the article above. If I had a child in continental America I don't think I would bother getting her vacinated either, but here in Thailand the risks, especially for Hep A are considerably higher for both children and Adults. You may have to wait 30 minutes to get the vacine as it can be a bit painful if given straight from the fridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
