Expats, tourists can get Covid boosters at two locations

[reader]

From The Nation

Covid booster shots will be available at the CentralWorld shopping complex in downtown Bangkok until May 28.

The vaccination unit was set up on Saturday on the 5th floor of the complex’s Atrium Zone. The unit provides jabs every Friday, Saturday and Sunday until May 28 (closed on May 13-14 for the general election).

People can walk in between noon and 6pm to get a free jab of the Moderna bivalent vaccine, which is effective against both the original Wuhan strain and the Omicron subvariants.

Shots will be provided to people above the age of 12 who have received at least one vaccine or have recovered from a Covid-19 infection more than three months ago. The jabs are free for Thais and expats if they show their ID cards or passports, though a fee may be charged for tourists.

Recipients are required to show their vaccination history, the deputy governor said.

Tourists can get Covid booster shots at MBK until May 12

A Covid-19 vaccination unit has been set up at MBK Centre in downtown Bangkok to provide booster jabs for those whose last Covid jab was more than three months ago.

Deputy governor Tavida Kamolvej on Friday officially opened a temporary vaccination unit on the 6th floor in Zone D of the MBK Centre shopping mall.

People can walk in between 9am and 3pm daily to get a free jab of the Moderna bivalent vaccine. 

Foreigners can also get a jab by presenting their passports, but fees may apply.

The unit will be open daily until May 12 and then again on the weekends of May 20-21 and May 27-28.

Bivalent version has been out for many months, probably a year.  I don't know why any farlang who is still in search of covid vaccine now if he wanted to get one.  This Covid thing is in the rear view mirror in most of the western world now.

Reported...but it's not a pandemic anymore.  Welcome to the real world, but of course real world is not @reader's Thailand world.  I hope @readercontinues to quarantine himself.  Good job.

Yes, but unfortunately not all countries have access to them. The Philippines for example has not have it, so I quickly messaged a friend when I saw this post. He got vaccinated for 380 baht, which is a fair price. We currently have a 10% positivity rate because of the holidays. Not pandemic level, but still concerning.

Oh, I get it. In Scotty Land you wait until it's a pandemic then you begin vaccinating. Brilliant.

Think we tried that three years ago.

I am well vaccinated, all 4 doses, with the bivalent version done last September, thank you for asking.  I am a farlang from the western world, I don't need to search for vaccine in Thailand.  But in your world, please continue your quarantine and don't go anywhere because the Corona virus is everywhere.

You may be safe and secure in your falangdom home but there are other readers (expats and tourists) who find themselves in need of it in Thailand. 

I think the mother ship is calling. Time to beam yourself up, Scotty.

Vaccines are still relevant and important and Covid still exists. Much like the flu shot, I'll get one each year or as needed to keep my chances stronger. I don't wear masks (except in taxis where it is expected).
