I’m retired. I don’t need a job. Theoretically I could stay at home and not go anywhere until they start requiring a vaccine passport to get into a grocery store but the reason we retired to Spain in the first place was to be able to visit my wife’s family in the UK. Right now they don’t require you to be vaccinated but you do have to get tested before each trip, about 50 to 100 Euros each way, depending on what country you go to. They will vaccinate even people like myself who buy private medical insurance for no charge. Carrot and stick. In Spain it’s all controlled by the government but in the USA they couldn’t get away with that so they let private businesses do their dirty work for them.

Do this discussion about COVID vaccinations for work doesn’t apply anyways
Let’s see. Spain is a amber country. 10 day quarantine and 3 privately paid COVID tests to go to the UK - one to board the flight and 2 after arrival.
They will be lifting that testing and quarantine requirements soon for those with a vaccine passport
I am retired but work part-time at a bar (don’t absolutely need the extra income but it’s nice). I don’t want to get any of the vaccines, yet. I sincerely hope they work without serious adverse affects as a lot of my family and friends have gotten these vaccines.
My dilemma is that my fiance lives in Thailand. Thailand is pretty much closed to foreign visitors at the present time (yeah, you can go there but you have to pay for your own 15 day quarantine and once you get out not much is open). I think, at best for the forseeable future, Thailand will not require quarantine for vaccinated travelers. At some point I’m probably goinng to have to get a vaccine but I am holding out as long as I can.
