Western countries.gain in tourism,thailands loss.

 

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.

Wouldnt consider thailand unless vietnam was open.

That is a very good point. 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.

Comparing a Yellow Fever certificate with a proposed Coronavirus certificate is just stupid.

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.

I'm reasonably certain that this will never happen

 

There might be certificates issued by hospitals but I really don't see governments getting involved here, especially western governments.

 

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"?

Why is it stupid? It is a verification of having the particular vaccine.

Yep, I have a "health passport" where every vaccine I have had since 1987 has been entered.

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.

     I have 'travelled the world' and I do not have a record card for vaccinations--and have never been asked for it at any country I have visited.  Probably years ago my parents had records for the vaccinations us kids had but I have no idea whatever became of them.

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. 

Me neither. Many of our members are just lost in a time warp.

No it isnt as a copy of the vaccination is kept by the hospital that adminiters it.

It's really nothing new.  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.

What's Thailand got lined up?  ????

What's the point of vaccinating a 50 million people when it just needs to be done over again as soon as a pfizer or moderna type are available? Also moderna said people might need an annual shot. That's 200,000 people per day every day for years.

Nothing simple about that, and hugely restrictive when Thailand will need as many Tourists as it can persuade to come.

Start this week, with a mix of the Chinese and Astra Zeneca vaccines.

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.
