Still no news from deputy government spokesperson @ttraisuree

why she deleted this tweet about the new entry rules for flights landing in #Thailand tomorrow morning. Has the order been revoked? Is it being amended? There’s still no word from the TAT about what is going on.

Only for those whose next destination requires a negative Covid test, right? Not really "breaking"!

In the UK it was 2 initial doses, then 2 boosters, given by the age of the patient (oldest first). My most recent one (Moderna) was 26 September 2022 - all 4 are shown on my NHS Covid Pass.

If you've had 2 boosters on top of the initial 2 doses then that would be considered 4 doses. As it stands, the information provided, simply states 2 doses for the majority of vaccines, not 4 doses. That's not to say things might change in the next few hours, though.

 

Also, the requirement is for a certificate, not an NHS Covid Pass. Basically, you can still have an original certificate of your vaccinations without the need of an NHS Covid Pass.

 

Further update: I've just logged into my NHS app and asked for a new Covid Pass and was given one based solely on my first 2 jabs. It now expires on 7 July 2023. So you can still get an NHS Covid Pass if you've only had 2 jabs.

URGENT UPDATE: Unvaccinated tourists can now fly to #Thailand without being refused boarding due to a last minute update to the latest Notice to Airmen (Notam).

But, they will have to test on arrival.

The Thai government are unreliable. I was thinking of taking a trip to Thailand as I'll be in the region in a month or so. But these incompetents make it impossible to plan.

Tell the families of all the dead people in the last few months how mild covid is now.

 

If all the antivaxxers would just get the damn shots rather than arguing endlessly over obscure reports and conspiracy theories there would be a lot fewer dead people around the world.

 

 

Or you could just move on, accept the fact that not only do they not want the vaccine but enjoy seeing people like you freaking out over things that you cannot control.  

Maybe it's time to get another hobby.

Lol, that didn't take long, I guess at some point earlier today they realised that most of the passengers would not be able to board - this took a lot less time to happen than I thought it would.

https://yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk/

Yes I have read it  on the gov web site and also cross referenced it. The facts I stated are  correct and are shocking. More yellow card have been raised than all other medications added together. Swine flu vaccine was pulled with a fraction of yellow cards. There is also the fact that it is estimated that only 10% of injuries are ever reported. I can also go on about the recorded excess deaths we are  seeing in the uk, eu and usa obviously it's not related to the vax!!! There are 2 countries which are lucky not to be showing any excess deaths Canada and New Zealand!!!! These are facts not fiction.

Why do you think swine flu vaccines produced less yellow card reports?

Because it did and it was pulled!!!!

6 million were given out and then it was stopped because of occasionally causing sleep disorder . Consequently less yellow cards reported. More than 52 million in the UK have received covid vaccine. Yellow cards have not produced concerns that it needs to be stopped.

 

Looks like its working as it should:

 

"For all COVID-19 vaccines, the overwhelming majority of reports relate to injection-site reactions (sore arm for example) and generalised symptoms such as ‘flu-like’ illness, headache, chills, fatigue (tiredness), nausea (feeling sick), fever, dizziness, weakness, aching muscles, and rapid heartbeat. Generally, these happen shortly after the vaccination and are not associated with more serious or lasting illness.

These types of reactions reflect the normal immune response triggered by the body to the vaccines."

You're missing the  point - people aren't going to know about this requirement until they are turned away from the check in desk - just watch what happens on Monday.

 

Maybe I'm wrong but I expect chaos.

Well there we are, total chaos at airports around the world, passengers who had never heard of this rule being denied boarding at multiple airports and they have now rescinded the regulation.

 

That didn't take long, did it?

Slight error on Israel; vaccination certificates expire after 180 days, not 270 days:

OK, if they had restrictions they had a time limit since the vaccine was administered, but as they don't have restrictions it's a moot point for now.

 

NB.  I didn't look at all your links, but the EU wide and Israel ones indicated this pattern.
