Jools Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) Where is the best place to get a flu shot (only) in Pattaya? Please don't tell me to go to a hospital. I've gone to quite a few of the clinics, including the one I went to last year and they ALL told me I needed to go to a hospital. I did that and it cost me exactly TWICE what it cost last year after they took my blood pressure and temperature. I paid over 1200 baht, which is more than I had to pay in the USA. There are bound to be cheaper options. Any advice appreciated. Edited October 3, 2016 by Jools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMGImInPattaya Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 If you want the latest seasonal flu shot vaccine, if the clinics told you it's only available at a hospital maybe they are right. I'm sure if they could administer them they would...why wouldn't they? I know clinics and doctor offices can administer vaccines for things like rabies, tenanas, hepetitus, and the like but maybe the annual flu vaccines are only available at hospitals. You could always try the government hospitals, e.g., Banglamung or that new Pattaya Hospital on Bua Khow. Maybe they are cheaper than the private hospitals in town.

lopburi3 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 No need to go there - was just providing current high priced hospital price for reference as cost seems to be the concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pattaya City Expats Club has arranged now for several years for a Hospital to bring the annual flu vaccine to their meeting along with nurses to administer the shot. On October 16, nurses from Phyathai Hospital Sriracha will be administering the vaccine to members and guests. However, it is necessary to "signup" at their meetings prior to October 16 - you do not have to be a member of the PCEC. Usually there are 50 to 60 people getting the vaccine - The Hospital discounts the price of the shot - this year, the price is 700 baht. Phyathai Hospital Sriracha also offers their Club members a 10% discount on certain items (medicines, room, etc.) and they usually have a speaker from the Hospital give a presentation every other month.

kbelyeu Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 If you are in a rush you could visit the Bangkok Pattaya Hospital Clinic near Theppasit road on Sukhumvit. They are open 24 hours and offer the shot for 1150 baht. Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMGImInPattaya Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 A slight detour...but what are the pros and cons of getting these annual flu shots? Ive never gotten them and have managed to made it to 50. Aren't they just a virus cocktail of what they think the current seasons flu will be?

Saradoc1972 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Buy the stuff at some big pharma chain like Fascino on North-Patty Rd. with a syringe and just inject yourself. It's an intramuscular shot, hardly a way you can botch this using your lateral deltoid. Used to do that with inoculations in Germany when I had to buy them myself on prescription obtained from my GP and were supposed to get a new appointment with him to get the actual shot... too much hassle. So I just unwrapped the thing and injected myself in front of the rather shocked bunny behind the counter of the pharmacy. Good to do in a public place for the remote chance you get an allergic shock (near zero). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autonuaq Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Clioics point you correctly to the hospital. About 1100 THB is what you pay that is including the doctors and hospital fee when a 'health check'. in Bangkok it was yesterday 1100 THB and needed two shots so in total it was 2200 THB with one month interval. The vaccine was covered by the insurance. And even not covered, it is cheaper then to fly to the states and get it there. Most foreign insurers as well Thai inrusrers support preventive vaccines. Actually I personally not understand why you complain about things that are covered if you have a normal heatlh insurance plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't there a doctor's clinic on your soi? Or on a nearby street? Have you asked there? If you have to go to a hospital I recommend Chulalongkorn University Hospital. My late wife got good treatment there and my granddaughter had one of her babies there, and it wasn't all that expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lungnorm Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Flu shots do not work and worse still they can make you very sick. They all contain ajuvants like aluminum, mercury and other toxic poisons. Not worth the risk. Save your money and eat 1 clove of garlic every morning on an empty stomach and drink fresh squeezed lemon juice and if your still worried about catching the flu wear a medical mask when you go to malls or other crowded places. Lord Nelson used to give his sailors a good dose of rum every day and that prevented a lot of illnesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
