Should All Airlines Adopt This ? Like Qantas

[Bobbisox1]

No vaccine , no travel ?
I believe they should ,

But surely the vaccine is not available yet?

[Bobbisox1]

Neither is travel JD , listening last night to LBC a vaccine will be rolled out imminently

[douglas9401]

Qantas boss Alan Joyce said he believed it would be a necessity for passengers to be vaccinated once a vaccine is available

[ToraToraTora]

yes absolutely all forms of travel should do it.

[ToraToraTora]

ok pedants, all public transport, ok?

[Bobbisox1]

I know we have no vaccine yet but we will be getting one and soon so let's focus on when this happens ?

[mushroom25]

have the government said they'll be issuing official proof of vaccination certificates? without certificates how would an individual prove they had the vaccine? how much will a certificate cost?

[Bobbisox1]

I guess you'd have to have some kind of proof Mushroom and that would be on the point of sale, ie buying your ticket

[mushroom25]

maybe we'll all have to have vaccination cards, like all pets have.....

[Bobbisox1]

Wouldn't be a bad idea Mushroom :0)

The vaccine is only 90% effective.
So 1 in 10 have it.

A negative test certificate within 7 days of travelling would be better.

sunk; "The vaccine is only 90% effective.
So 1 in 10 have it. " - err no, 1 in 10 could have it. In reality 90% immunisation would stop the spread.

I'm amazed on FB the way the anti vaxxers are likening it to Thalidomide which wasn't a vaccine, it was an anti sickness drug for pregnant women !!

[Ken4155]

That's FB for ya. Bobbi :-(

[Bobbisox1]

Yeah and you can't educate the uneducated Ken

[Ken4155]

Forgot to add, the problem with that is many believe everything they read on FB. My youngest daughter is guilty of using FB to get most of her info.

[Bobbisox1]

A lot do and a lot don't, similar to the media Ken

[brainiac]

Bobbi - Thalidomide definitely was not an anti-sickness drug for pregnant women; pregnant women are precisely who should NOT have been taking it! The fact that they did is why so many malformed babies were born.

[Ken4155]

brainiac, it was prescribed for morning sickness.

"A negative test certificate within 7 days of travelling would be better."

A person could test negative seven days before the flight but test positive any time in the following seven days.
