Pet Passport for Humans?

[Parrot Face]

As the vaccination programme continues and new variants of the virus emerge, it would appear that these variants may require regular updates, possibly with further vaccinations every autumn. Of course it may be pure speculation at the moment but there appears to be talk that any overseas travel will require evidence of vaccination. Could this mean that we each have to carry evidence of these vaccinations in the form of a booklet similar to the Pet Passport . I would also speculate as to whether this might also require a degree of testing at the borders. We could possibly be charged for these tests etc. Is this likely??

Government is already discussing a vaccine passport.

I think we will have to have something to prove vaccinations otherwise how will know borders/countries know?

 

[John Barrett]

Now I've got the NHS App all I have to do wherever I am in the world is 'Log In' and I can prove my vax!

Nothing new about having to prove vaccinations.

I'd have no objection to carrying a pet type passport as long as a vet wasn't checking my temperature.

Don't pets have to be microchipped?

PERHAPS there really is a microchip in these vaccines after all?
It would save a lot of time and reduce the risk of forgeries.

Don't moan. Grin and bare it!

Initially, I didn’t give this much thought as I’ll definitely take my vaccine as soon as it’s offered and I’m happy to show a record of it. However, reading views of done anti-vaxxers on fb and even on here, I am firmly in favour. Statistically, I much more at risk from someone who is unvaccinated so, if a vaccine is required for cinema, restaurant etc, I will be much more confident going. I see this is the approach Israel is taking.

I don’t quite see the logic of your argument. The vaccine should protect you, maybe not from getting the virus but from being seriously ill and you could be asymptomatic, so it is the unvaccinated in the cinema, etc who would be more at risk of serious illness, not you.

Vaccines are not 100% effective but are thought (though not proven) to reduce transmission. How do you know if you’re in the 70% of AZ with protection or the 30% that isn’t protected? I’ll be careful post vaccine.

So, if you are in a group of 10 people all of whom have been vaccinated, how will you know which 3 haven’t been protected by it? It could be you who are unprotected.

Where did you find evidence that 30% of those vaccinated will have no protection from it? My understanding I’d that 70% will have full protection and 30% partial, meaning they may get minor symptoms.

I guess you do what you’re comfortable with. I certainly will. Long Covid is a genuine concern ... ‘mild’ Covid can have long term implications. And yes, it could be me who is in the 30% unprotected. But certainly anyone who hasn’t had the vaccine will have 100% chance of being unprotected.
