Why the price of vaccine in your clinic is so low when compare to the US or European countries?

Here are some facts and explanation;

1. Some “travel” vaccines in the western countries are actually the routine ones in Thailand. Such as Hepatitis B vaccine and JE vaccine; these two vaccines have been included in our national program of immunization for many years. We give it to every people in Thailand in their childhood. So we have to spend a huge amount of vaccine per year when compare to the western countries. Therefore we could get a lower price just due to the economy of scale.
2. Moreover, like many medications, the pharmaceutical company usually set the price structure different from country to country. The GDP and the purchasing power of people in each country are usually the factors that they consider.
3. So according to #2,#3; we could buy most vaccines much cheaper than in the western countries And in our clinic, to clarify, we use only vaccines from reputable pharmaceutical manufacturers such as GSK, Sanofi Pasteur, Crucell, Berna Biotech, etc. All vaccines have to be approved by our FDA also.
4. Apart from that, our clinic and our hospital are not-for-profit organizations. Our mission is to provide excellent medical services to all, regardless of whether they are Thai or foreigners. So we do not set another vaccine/medication pricing for foreigners. Everyone who attends our clinic will pay the same price for the vaccine.

However, we do not recommend travelers to get their vaccine in the destination. Ideally, every traveler should get all vaccines before arrival. Since all vaccines will not work immediately, they need time to make our body develop the immunity against specific diseases. So, completing the shot as early as possible is the best way to ensure maximum protection.
