In my opinion, the race is on between Thailand and Vietnam for the first of the two to open up, safely. Should Vietnam be first, than that will be a huge loss to Thailand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they would be considering this, one would think. You would think that would be the best thing to do, but TiT, and every Governor and Mayor here couldn't care less about other provinces in Thailand, or Thailand in general, as long as their own bank account is getting bigger. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No guaranty , that there will nit be a Covit22 next year that will require a buster vaccine . In fact it is almost certain. Heard this week from a UK Health Minister that he expects to see in the future a combined Flu/Covid vaccine to be given annually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If some countries don't like it then that's hard luck. Probably anyone who has travelled the world will have had vaccinations and a record card for them. Are they now calling that form of documentaion a "passport"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would depend on how easy it was to add a few entries. Without a central database easily accessed by all, it's just a bit of paper anyone could forge.

Mine is really just for my own use, as it shows the dates of when I need a booster. I got a tetanus jab last year, and it came with a sticker that the nurse added to to my health passport instead of writing it in and signing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to travel internationally, you need a passport. I would think one of the simplest things each country could do is have some type of vaccination sticker, similar to a visa sticker, that goes in your passport that proves you have been vaccinated.

Why is that not simple? You present for your vaccination, and there is a record of that. If / when you want to travel abroad, you apply online for the sticker, with most likely a small fee to be paid, and it it posted out to you. You stick it in your passport, and you are good to board an aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
