We are facing a decision point to with the vaccine too, it costs $100 for the test here in Suriname, but the vaccine is free of charge. The situation is desperate for us here, and crossing borders and immigrating to the USA will be almost impossible without it.
I'm not necessarily on the fringe conspiracy end of things, but I was just hoping for the vax to get full safety approval before succumbing. Needing cross borders and get on planes already makes much our freedoms easily sacrificed in a moment's notice.
I think these archaic visa and migration policies will remain for many years to come, so I am thinking it's time to get it over with.
