Thai rush to vaccinate abroad due to high domestic demand

 


(Bangkok): Some Thai who do not want to wait for the COVID-19 vaccine from their government have decided to choose a new option, willing to spend thousands of dollars to travel abroad to get the vaccine, commonly known as " "Tourism vaccine." This was released by CNA on Wednesday, May 19, 2021.

Demand for vaccines has risen sharply as Thailand is battling a new wave of COVID-19s, prompting some to turn to overseas travel packages that come with free vaccinations. Rachphol Yamsaeng, managing director of Unithai Trip, said: “People are choosing this option because they do not want to wait any longer to be vaccinated in Thailand. "If they have a choice and can afford to be vaccinated, they are willing to pay instead of waiting for an unknown number of vaccinations."

According to Rachphol Yamsaeng, a Thai citizen must pay at least $ 2,300 for a 10-day package tour to Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas, USA. Johns & Johnson's one-dose COVID-19 vaccine is available free of charge.
