Get a booster vaccine in chile - Chile Forum - Tripadvisor

What do people think about this? What can I say, I find it irritating that this person is advertising that tourists should get their booster while here. We don't have vaccines to give to any tourist that just rolls up. Some centers have very long lines already Many days they run out of vaccines. It's not like certain countries where vaccines are going to waste due to low demand.


Chileans and permanent residents are required to have the booster to conserve their Mobility Pass (like a vaccine passport) as of January 1st. It is a lie that this is required of tourists, which was her excuse. Plus, she CHOSE to travel during a pandemic with all the complications that entails.


I guess you could argue giving them to tourists due tothe cost of health care for tourists if they do get Covid, but tourists are required to purchase insurance for Covid and present proof upon entry.


Ugh, and the whining about how tourists have to pay more to get into national parks. That is a classic. Her complaint about higher transportation costs for foreign visitors doesn't ring true to me. I have never observed that. When tourists from developed nations were whining because they could not get out of quarantine early, when that was required, they loved to mention how much money they were bringing into the economy. It is like they should not have to follow the rules because we need the tourist dollars.

I have heard of other countries giving reduced park entry fees to residents. After all, the parks are primarily financed with tax dollars. Entrance fees are on top of that. And, I am sure I pay a lot more in taxes living here full-time than a tourist does on a short stay.
