Baby's Essential Vaccines in Thailand

[baxida]

Can anybody tell me what vaccines are necessary for babies that are born and living here in Thailand?

My son is now 9 months old and has been into a very good western hospital for vaccines which now seems like every month since he was born! I'm sure he has had at least 10 injections now. My friend who has a child the same age in another part of Thailand said that after 6 months his babies vaccinations were finished.

I get the feeling that either;

A) My wife is a typical Thai hypochondriac who thinks that more injections and more medicine is better for the body

The hospital is trying to make a profit.

Any advice? or maybe a list of which vaccines are essential?

Cheers.

My son is 2,5 years old and follows the government vaccine program.

He still has some shots to take.

That was just what I was looking for. Thanks.

If your wife is Thai, your child is eligible to receive all of this for free at a government hospital or health center. No need to shell out $ at a private hospital
