Sorry Mobaan I cannot help. I do know it is a pretty specialist vaccination. When I needed one when I was in the UK I had to go about 120 miles to a hospital that did them.... :(
They told me, in conversation, that it was incubated in egg yolk & so had quite a short shelf life, plus, some people (not many, but some) had quite a violent reaction to the vaccine - I had to sit in a room for about 45 minutes after I had it before I could leave the hospital....
Mind you that was a few years ago, but still the hardest vaccination to get I ever had.... :D

i had to get mine done at swampy airport - there is nowhere in UT to get this vaccination. You will not be allowed into Thailand without this vaccination if returning from certain countries, but once done it lasts 10 years.

Mobaan, As Bobhelm wrote, this vacination has short life span after opening bottle. Must be used or disposed withing a few hours so may be difficult to find place and time.

It says in my international certificate of vaccination book for the yellow fever vaccine which I got at swampy airport :
"Origin and batch no. of vaccine" - PASTEURFRANCE A5285-1
so I would think the vaccine came from France? it must travel ok or am i talking nonsense?

Vaccines, can travel ok, provided they are temperature controlled.

South America and Africa are the 2 noted countries and ur vaccination record is a UN based document.

has the tracking codes etc recorded in it etc.

I imagine Bumrungrad in BKK would do them, email them @ Bumrungrad Hospital <[email protected]>; and ask , inc prices !
