I usually get a yearly fluvac in my country of origin...now I'm here....what do long time residents recommend?

I believe the influenza season runs from November here...is that true....

My Chiang Mai doctor reminded me it was time for my annual flu shot, and the current brew covers the most common types in this region.

Cost THB800.00

Actually flu season here is during rainy season, so you're a little late. But, I was at Bangkok Hospital recently and saw they were still running their 750 baht special. I think you can get it at most hospitals for about that price, but I don't know if they still have the flu vaccine.

I had mine in Oz earlier this year

Or is this Differant ??

According to Wikipedia it seems there is no difference between northern and southern hemisphere currently:

2015–2016 Northern Hemisphere influenza season

The composition of trivalent virus vaccines for use in the 2015–2016 Northern Hemisphere influenza season recommended by the World Health Organization on February 26, 2015 was:

  • an A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus
  • an A/Switzerland/9715293/2013 (H3N2)-like virus
  • a B/Phuket/3073/2013-like virus.

The WHO recommends that quadrivalent vaccines containing two influenza B viruses contain the above three viruses and a B/Brisbane/60/2008-like virus.

2015 Southern Hemisphere influenza season

The composition of virus vaccines for use in the 2015 Southern Hemisphere influenza season recommended by the World Health Organization September 25, 2014 was:

  • an A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus
  • an A/Switzerland/9715293/2013 (H3N2)-like virus
  • a B/Phuket/3073/2013-like virus

WHO recommended that quadrivalent vaccines containing two influenza B viruses should contain the above three viruses and a B/Brisbane/60/2008-like virus.
