Many non-Thai may baulk at paying for the vaccine -- of course, depending on the decided cost -- should this situation occur! UK doesn't issue vaccination certificates (as far as I know), so she'll be required to do it again in Thailand. i certainly object to paying 10x-20x the price.

ChaiyaTH Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Knowing most people, everywhere, are incredible stupid, I am happy to see that a fat 1/3rd of Thais say it is up to us. That is a good sign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFreqFlyer Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 5 hours ago, BadSpottedDog said: I'm trying not to worry, but when you see your child have seizures and paralysis (now chronic) from a vax, and the doc tells me she cannot have any more, it is very concerning. I do realize that most likely, people who were polled, know nothing about these issues, so I'm trying to focus on that. I totally agree with your statement on choice. Not only that but quite clearly even IF there were a mandatory vaccination program in place, which I doubt will happen other than MAYBE to enter the country, there must be medical exemptions. Also, no Covid vaccine is licensed or recommended for under 18s, pregnant or breastfeeding women in Thailand. Therefore, a child will NOT be required to get a Covid vaccine in Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFreqFlyer Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 6 hours ago, BadSpottedDog said: And what happens to people like my daughter, that have serious adverse reactions to vaccines? She cannot have them, but she's lived in Thailand for 5 years now. She has nothing left in our home country, her home is here. Do they even realize there are a lot of people with this problem? Don't worry. Medical exemptions are always available. I know of no country where medical exemptions aren't honored, though they're getting pretty close in California, where such exemptions are scrutinized for school entry. Other than that, no issues. Not even in China. Secondly, the vaccines are NOT licensed for children in Thailand. Therefore, a child can't be forced to take one, no matter what the law might say about adults. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFreqFlyer Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 16 minutes ago, ChrisKC said: If this poll has any credibility it should ask Thais why foreigners should be forced to be vaccinated but not, it seems, the Thais themselves. Whilst free has some greater appeal, I too, am happy to pay. You can be assured that many of the most draconian minded people among the Thai population think everyone should get vaccinated and that the people polled here were probably thinking more about Burmese migrants than westerners per se.

I think you are right, but all foreigners have been lumped together. But it might be insensitive to ask a question of this nature that separates Burmese from others.
