Flu shots

Post by tamada » December 3, 2022, 2:11 pm

Simple enough question. How many members avail themselves of annual flu shots, either here or when they make a home visit?

I got them annually when I lived in BKK and worked for a US company. The in-house company nurses gave them to all employees and contractors as well as their families for free and made special announcements for travelers around flu season.

Have not had one since 2016 but am offered a free one once again with my Aetna health insurance (before 31-Oct) but have not bothered here in Udon to stop by Aek Udon or Wattana Hospital for the freebie.

Thanks for the reminder, Tam. I may inquire while at Bumrungrad next week as I think I saw they too offer free 4-strain flu jabs to their regular patients if I recall correctly.

I usually wait until mid October, but got early September this year before my vacation to Edinburgh and Dublin. Since over 65 got the high dose version
