PCV13 (geezer pneumonia shot)?

[World Traveller]

Anyone get this vaccination in Pattaya or Bangkok? Where and at what total price?

My Calgary GP recommended it as an add-on vaccination for me despite a year ago my having been vaccinated with the Pneumovax13 version (standard version, as I understand it). In my Canadian province the price is not covered by standard safety-net provincial medical insurance. Curiously my province did this year for first time cover senior's super-duper *flu* shot.

I expect as a non-resident I will have to pay out if pocket here as this Vax isn't considered cost-effective even for locals, who presumably have been contributing their taxes.

In AB price is about $130 CAD (THB3326). Here I have no idea. In the past I got all my shots at Thai Red Cross Tropical Medicine Clinic in Bangkok.

BUMRUNGRAD will send a nurse to your home or office for THB4570 or so. But I don't need valet service with a chocolate on my pillow

THB4070 + transport fee of THB500

Mahidol U for THB2357...

I already have hospital cards at Siraj and Chula. Haven't checked their fees yet.
