Covid vaccination required by Qantas

[RichB]

No one is being prevented from leaving the country .

Its not about leaving but if you flew to Canada you wouldnt be allowed in at the border - I suspect they wouldnt let you on the plane in the UK as they check whether you have a valid Visa or residency before you get on the plane

I think more than a few of us saw this coming.

One of the many reasons I'm registering for the vaccine as soon as I'm able to.

The last time I had to get a vaccine for a holiday I had to go private as I left it too late and Doctors had a two week waiting list.

The vaccines won't be available privately in the UK for some time so how are people going to get a certificate.

Probably pay for a letter from your GP to confirm. Decent money making scam

Quite a few places require a yellow fever certificate still, so it’s not that unlikely

This.

We don’t even know if/when everyone will be offered it yet!

The yellow fever one isn’t free. You want to fly with qantas, you pay for a vaccine it would seem

you can currently only leave australia if you qualify or have an exemption. there's restrictions on who is allowed in as well.

Which vaccine will you need though? Will the Russian one do? A new one that suddenly pops up in China? What if Pfizer decide to make a generous donation to certain parties in the US government to be the the "official" vaccine in the USA, and suddenly you have to have that specific jab to enter the country?

So those who aren't offered it cant use Qantas. Dead simple really

Half the population. Ok
Some people’s views on this are worrying tbh. Excluding people based on something there not even allowed to get

Everyone will be offered it, it's just that there's a priority list.

Once we gate past phase 3& it goes to 'general sale' you'll just need to rock up at wherever they are doing them. Which could well be at the back end of next year

They'll have to go private - like you did.

I thought this was a conspiracy theory?
