What does a "Vaccination Certification" look like? I have dose 1 on my Mor Prom app, and after dose 2, I will get a digital certificate, (which if necessary, I could print out). Is that it? Also, my understanding is that the COE is for ENTRY into Thailand. I'm wondering about EXIT from Thailand. What do you have to show to the airline check-in for proof of vaccination? Would it be the Mor Prom digital/hard copy certificate? What have travellers exiting Thailand had to show? (I'm assuming if what you show is accepted at check-in here, and you board the flight, you are not going to have an issue at your destination, upon arrival.)

And for international flights? Has anyone been on an international flight and what did they use to prove their vaccination? Vaccine Passports are not recognised unless the destination country has joined the scheme, (Vaccine Passport Agreement), so not surprisingly, it seems to be a bit of a muddle.

The time to learn to live with Covid is when 70% are inoculated. Only 35% are fully vaccinated, ergo 65% are not. China has been "successful" because it has a muzzle on its press, and because it has strict international quarantine, of 21 days. Internally there are doubtless many restrictions. It is effectively closed and will remain so until after the 20th Party Conference in October 2022, when President Xi may be named president for an unprecedented third term, or for life. International quarantine will not even be reduced for the Beijing Winter Olympics in February 2022.

...or anywhere not approved by MHRA, (The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency), so only those vaccinations administered in UK, EU and USA.

Understood. From what I read this week, they are bringing in "Vaccine Passports" for want of a better description, for events with large numbers of people; the article cites "nightclubs, mass events and large venues"....just to be clear as mud..."by the end of September".

I'm not sure how one defines "opened up". As far as I know, Hua Hin is open to domestic visitors already. Two friends went at the weekend, and stayed in an hotel. AFAIK they have only had one jab.

What it means in practical terms is that if you are vaccinated in Thailand with whatever brand, (currently Sinovac, Sinopharm, AstraZeneca, Pfizer), if you are a British National you will have to undergo 10 days quarantine in an hotel designated for this purpose, (costing approximately GBP2k plus). If you are not a British National, you cannot currently enter UK at all, with any of the above vaccines administered in Thailand.

That's not nearly complicated enough.

No is the short answer. Not currently approved by MHRA is the reason why. It's not the brand, it's where it was administered. So Pfizer administered in Thailand is not acceptable either. (AZ is made in Thailand - no relevance. Pfizer is made in USA - no relevance.)
