However, it is important to note that the service is available only to those who make an appointment in advance. Walk-ins will not be entertained.

It is important for participants to bring their original ID card or birth certificate and personal vaccination book on the day of vaccination. The registration system requires the ID card number to be filled in. For those who have never received services at Chulalongkorn Hospital before, it is advised to register as new patients in advance before registering for the vaccination at the Chula Care application.
