We see it has a number which links to what? also does it have a picture of the person in it? also does it tell the manufacturer of the vaccine? And how much will it cost us farangs. I might have to brake the piggy bank. The passport booklet itself is free.... It comes ‘with the vaccine’ in my case, I received the ‘yellow vaccine passport’ with the Yellow Fever vaccination. The Vaccinations are listed inside with the ‘sticker’ from the actually vaccination which indicates the vaccine, serial number of the vaccine etc There is no photo on the vaccine passport. Could it be easy to fake? Yes - the vaccine stickers inside would be harder to fake. I think the vaccine passport is a good idea. As they become more widely used they will become harder to fake or may be integrated into our ‘real’ passports alongside with information integrated into the biometric chip... also used along side Digital passports with an IATA Travel Pass Initial (and QR code which links to all our details). Ultimately the Yellow Vaccination Passport will become a backup to the digital passport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much for one on Khao San Road? Its not a ‘Thai Passport’ its an existing international recognised document.... Think of it like an International Driving Permit - they are issued locally, fit a specify format and are internationally accepted by those countries which have agreed to accept it (signed a treaty). The same goes for the ‘International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis’... Its accepted internationally, its nothing new, its not a ’Thai’ thing.... like anything else, it can and probably will be subject to counterfeiting. Nothing is foolproof and not using such a vaccination passport because it could be counterfeited is somewhat shortsighted. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Certificate_of_Vaccination_or_Prophylaxis Edited March 4, 2021 by richard_smith237 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were in use twenty years ago as a record of Smallpox inoculations where travellers required a record to enter certain countries. It makes sense to resurrect them but only if the former International agreement is still valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further, is this his own idea or does it interface with the instruction from the PM to do broad research on the subject of vaccine passports/certificates? “Genuine copy vaccine passport” - coming to markets near you soon ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be an internationally recognised app with a QR code to scan etc. Where i am, there already is an app showing information, immunisation status, ID number, photo, blood type etc. A vaccine passport will be very similar. Countries that don't have the technology to scan a QR code will soon get the technology to scan a QR code. Thailand will follow what the rest of the world does regarding this. Agreed.... Other countries already have this... Ehteraz - Qatar with a recent edition this past couple of weeks with the vaccination details. It seems the Middle East nations are leading the way with these applications. It doesn’t take much to include the vaccination details to the Thailand Plus application and roll it out across the nation. Of course - the issue then becomes International recognition - its fine to have an App which is accepted internally, but getting 100’s of nations to agree in one single international application is going to be a bureaucratic nightmare ! International Proof of vaccination is the stumbling block - perhaps the Yellow Vaccination Booklet will be accepted, internationally and that information has to be put into an App (individual to each nation) and verified upon port of entry [just a thought of how this may work].

In Australia, every vaccine jab is automatically/instantly recorded on the recipient's Medicare online records (free Medicare in Aust. same as NHS in the UK). Card owner can easily transfer the details to their smartphone or print the details. Airlines, immigration in arrival country etc., can easily & quickly access the details to confirm the passenger has had the full vaccine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Hannah Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 A minimum of 5% the vacine does not work.Also many have covid with no symtoms.It only takes a few to spread covid.So having a card to say you have been vacinated .will not stop a outbreak of some kind.insurance companys know this .so covid insurance will be high.Better to continue to try and stay safe.Dont let your guard down. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
