It should change the calculus from:
Status quo: “we must protect the masses that cannot protect themselves from this risk”
Future State: ”protection available worldwide to be chosen and you chose not to protect yourself from this risk”
Whether taking this protection becomes mandatory as a condition of entry/carriage will be interesting.
We took many vaccines and prophylactic pills for a recent Asian trip. No issues. We did not get a flu shot for the trip. The real threat on the trip was dengue fever - but no preventative available. We went anyway.
This vaccine, taken last week, has had a number of odd/noticeable side effects to us including Blue palms/fingers. Hopefully it is working on us as intended.
Do we want to take it every year like a flu shot as an annual condition of entry to SXM. No, we hope this fades away.
