Is the Johnson and Johnson vaccine sufficient for entry into Thailand without a PCR test?

Aug 5, 2022
4 years ago
Has anybody recently entered Thailand with the Johnson and Johnson vax (only one poke)? How did that go? Did you also do a PCR test? According to Sherpa, I should be fine without a PCR but the “one shot” is making me question if I’m considered “fully vaxed” for Thailand entry. (We already live in Thailand on retirement visas. Just been away for the summer.)

Thank you!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The post discusses concerns over re-entering Thailand with a single dose of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, specifically questioning whether this qualifies as being 'fully vaccinated.' The user notes that they are currently living in Thailand on a retirement visa and had been abroad for the summer. Responses indicate mixed experiences, with some travelers stating they faced no issues at immigration; however, others reported that vaccine checks were conducted by airlines or upon jetway entry.
