TLDR : Answer Summary

The conversation revolves around the current status of dengue fever vaccines available in Thailand. Two vaccines exist, one recommended if you've previously had dengue and another for those who haven't. Although there’s caution regarding the vaccines, especially in light of past incidents in the Philippines, dengue fever remains a serious concern for travelers and residents.

From reading up online there are two types of vaccines. One if you’ve had it before and one if you haven’t. I have no idea on the efficacy of either. I do know that dengue is something you seriously want to avoid. I’ve had it twice. Certainly not a pleasant experience.

Sadly there are actually many conspiracies in the world where people seek personal gain over the well-being of others and organize together to do so. It's pretty common actually.

Actually it is a true news story that it was linked to children deaths and that particular vaccine has since been banned in the Philipines.

What do you mean by update? There are 2 vaccines for dengue in Thailand but you're generally not recommended to get it unless you've already have dengue in the past.

I had it last year. Not fun and they say the second round is worse. Seems like there are several shots within a period of months..I'm headed over next week so don't have enough required time to execute with the proper time frames.
