What is the Covid vaccine process and what documents do we need to get vaccinated in Thailand?

@Paul ******

the whole vaccine passport thing is really just a media job to make people scared of being left behind if they dont take it, it's barely thought through

@Paul ******

I reckon desperate tourist nations like spain and greece will have these easier requirements, but China for example said that despite just releasing a vaccine passport they wont make it easier to go there for vaccinated people, because they know it's not as foolproof as people think

Cathy Odgers Keep believing that. Thousands of Thai and Burmese protestors who have not distanced and half of whom (especially the Thai ones) not even wearing masks and no one is dying or even getting sick.

I mean, what kind of disease is this, that you need to a test to know whether you've got it?

@Edna ******

Yes. That's the plan worldwide. Some doctors have suggested a new vaccine will be needed for EVERY overseas trip.

Just got my first shot. Get second in April. Plan to get another of whichever is best for variants before I fly back in the fall.

@Edna ******

it's because your vaccine doesnt last forever! The effect wears off, stop whining and just get your boosters every 3 months, otherwise your vaccine is useless, do you actually want to keep people safe?, I'm not amused by the announcement at all, I'm amused by people like you who are begging for these vaccine passports but dont even understand vaccines😂

@Edna ******

I'm guessing it's due to concerns about variants, but that's a guess.

Cathy in the plan there is still going to be a quarantine for those vaccinated, it's just a bit shorter. I'm skeptical this is going to happen next month, but it is likely going to happen at some point, I'd suspect before the whole country is vaccinated.

Vaccinated foreigners are much less likely to have it in the first place- and there will still be the 7 day quarantine minimum, and precautions, It's not like it's going to be straight back to millions of tourists and no restrictions, it will still be a very small number willing to put up with even 7 days.

They may change or extend it by then, when there is more data on how long immunity lasts, etc. Right now, basically everyone has been vaccinated within three months.

all free in the US too. We don’t want to miss anyone that wants to be vaccinated over money, or be discouraged in any way. Achieving herd immunity is the goal. The tier program is based on different groups of people first. Such as the elderly, nurses, doctors all in the healthcare field and so on. The US will begin mass jabs soon. It takes a massive amount of planning and organizing. Initial production, distribution and people to administer the jabs. Many areas are remote, others have no transportation. All this often takes implications as we go. After all who in this world has ever dealt with a pandemic of this magnitude? Get your shot as soon as it’s available to you. Boosters may be needed in the future, don’t we do that with the flu vaccine?

Kate Retouching. I understand South Africans won't be included in the reduced quarantine plan to begin with.

just dont take the vaccine and go for 14 days. What is the problem? If u take the vaccne u have to do the asq also anyway.

@Chuengamon ********

nothing to do with the question they are asking about getting vaccination in Thailand

I'm looking forward to my better 5G reception

Correct. The ones getting it, should be prepared for the worst and hope for the best. Becoming a guinea pig for Big Tech is a dangerous thing.
