It's part of my job to travel, which I wasn't able to do for most of last year and potentially this year, for that matter. I'm looking forward to traveling again once I'm vaccinated.

Will you travel once you get vaccine?
- Thread starter Avenger
- Start date
Immediately? No. But I'm low down the list and by the time I get one it will be fairly well spread, and I'm using that as a basis for when I plan to start again.
I am currently assuming I'll be able to get it some time in summer and my first planned travel for the year is the first week of December.

No. I'll probably be the first in my family to get it because I'm essential. Then I have to wait for my wife and kids. No idea when my kids will be able to get it.
And even before that, we need to know if we can spread it even if we are vaccinated. I'm not gonna risk spreading it to unvaccinated people even if it won't hurt my family.

Pretty much this. Only visiting for 1 week for 2019 Thanksgiving was a massive mistake in hindsight.
I'd be fine just staying with her for a few months as my visa and work allow but she's made a relationship project where we started planning our next vacation but we'll only take it when it's safe for us and those around us.
I'll be travelling for leisure again once I am vaccinated and when travel patterns and precautions start to return to normal where I am, and in my destination country/countries, due to a reduction in cases and essentially an end to the epidemic in those locations. Anything before that point is kinda irresponsible..
Most likely not. Would rather just hang out with my vaccinated friends for the time being, which is better than nothing.
Depends if my city still even has an airport by then. It's not sounding promising, but I would consider flying to Vancouver to see my mom and sister, so long as they are both vaccinated too, if I'm able to.
nah i will wait until it's safe for everyone to start going about normally. i'm in no rush.
the vaccine doesn't stop you getting it or passing it on.

Fuck me where are yall getting this info from out of your asses? There is no I repeat NO definitive statement from any expert that the mRNA vaccines def don't protect you from passing on the virus. We don't have enough data to say that
I need to get out of this house. Obviously I'd wait at least until two weeks after my second dose of the vaccine, but I'd hope I could take a vacation in the latter half of 2021.
This really seems to have become an accepted 'truth' somehow.
- We know that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines reduce symptomatic cases of Covid-19 by around 95%.
- We don't know to what extent it stops people getting it completely, as cases in the testing were confirmed via people getting tested if they developed symptoms. However, some data in the reports following both the Moderna and AstraZeneca trials appear to show that there is likely a reduction in asymptomatic cases too.
- It is highly likely that there will be some reduction in transmission / 'passing it on', even if just because less symptoms means less droplets etc, but there is currently no evidence in this area.
Thank you!!!
There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding about this.
Probably not. At least not until closer to Fall or so. Certainly not out of the country either.
Is there a more in depth version of this quote? The article on CNN doesn't specify if it means the 'whole world' or 'no country' and there's a fairly substantial difference.
I imagine theoretically you don't technically need herd immunity if you're either traveling to areas with a similarly highly immunised zone to where you're from. Obviously masks and social distancing need to stay long term but it's unclear to me exactly what they're stating.
Well Tomorrowland are thinking of having a test site for people before letting people enter the festival. I'm not holding on to hope they'll go ahead though.
Not immediately or anywhere far, but I definitely want to go to NY and Chicago once things get somewhat back to normal.
Doesn't the pull-quote contain the more in-depth quote you're after?
'Because even as vaccines start protecting the most vulnerable, we are not going to achieve any level of population immunity, or herd immunity in 2021 and even if it happens in a couple of pockets in a few countries, it's not going to protect people across the world.'
What's with the trend of these one word OPs lately? I don't care so much in this case, but it is technically against the rules and threads get locked because of it.
Definitely traveling at some point after my shots. Likely just to see friends/family, but they're pretty far so I'll be driving and probably hitting cheap hotels along the way. So whenever we're far enough along for all that to make sense, I'm not trying to look forward to a month/date at this point.

The second it becomes available. While my fiance isn't anti-vax, she's questioned on how quick the turnaround is and has hinted she wants to 'wait'.
I told her the first day available I would take it, and the day after that i would be on a flight to somewhere tropical with our dog sending her selfies of me and him chilling in mankini's (dog-kini's?) at the beach. (she's a huge beach bum)

Yes I will. If I have the vaccine, and once it's fully completed and the 3-4 weeks afterwards... I am going to make sure I live a little.
I am also in the final group... so everyone will be traveling and gathering before I can get there.

Yeah, I am catching up on the thread now. Seems that my dreams of travelling are dashed if it would just me being asymptomatic and still a possible spreader, I didn't know that fact.
If I got the vaccine today nothing would change about my life outside of peace of mind. The US and to a lesser extent world is still shut down and you can still pass it around.
I meant the fact that you're not supposed to travel the day after your first shot. :)
In general though, it doesn't seem safe to be so eager to travel unless it is to visit a family member in ill health or another essential reason. It's going to be a tough year with a lot of deaths and we should all just hold on a little longer to see the numbers go down before we pull the trigger.
So that we can all have a fantastic 2022.
I'd feel a lot better about traveling to my mailbox and getting my groceries if I was vaccinated. Can't wait for that.
I am counting down the minutes until I'm fully two-stepped vaccinated to go to a beach resort and pretend 2020 never happened.
This is my thought as well. Considering being vaccinated doesn't mean you can't be a carrier, I don't want to hop on a plane, fly across the ocean only to end up a carrier and put others at risk.
The moment I'm vaccinated and travel to Japan is open I'm gone. That probably won't be until 2022 though.
