Sensible decision and I expect other airlines to follow suit. Anti-vaxxers can give up overseas destinations I suppose or swim.
I know's it's from a film (Contagion), but a bracelet like this with a unique barcode could work.Good. Now how do we go about getting proof once we're vaccinated?
How would this work with international travelers? How would people from other countries prove that they have the vaccine? With documents in their own language that no one else can read?
It's no different to when applying for a visa to a country you need to certify in some instances that you've had a given vaccination in your application. If you're found to have lied in that application or cannot provide evidence, you can be detained upon entry.How would this work with international travelers?

Or you could be, like, a little less distopyan and have an email from your doctor on your phone.I know's it's from a film (Contagion), but a bracelet like this with a unique barcode could work.
Yeah, that too.Or you could be, like, a little less distopyan and have an email from your doctor on your phone.
Most vaccination cards apply a printed label from the vial, certainly for kids vaccines (not the flu shot). It'll likely be similar, guaranteed most governments around the world will want to keep track of and have proof of vaccination.I'm curious how they plan to check though. Presumably you just get a piece of paper when you are vaccinated that anyone can just copy...

I'm sure there are shady doctors willing to forge things for money.Sensible decision and I expect other airlines to follow suit. Anti-vaxxers can give up overseas destinations I suppose or swim.
Indeed. No doubt there will be people who find nefarious ways to get around this.I'm sure there are shady doctors willing to forge things for money.
It needs to have a rapid test component
They may initially use the international certificate of vaccination from the CDC/WHO (the yellow card) as proof that you were vaccinated. Later down the line I expect it to be like a visa process where you upload proof into their databaseGood. Now how do we go about getting proof once we're vaccinated?
Bracelets like these are currently getting tested here in germany so i think there is a good chanceI know's it's from a film (Contagion), but a bracelet like this with a unique barcode could work.

Global airline lobby IATA is working on a mobile app that will help travelers demonstrate their coronavirus-free status, joining a push to introduce so-called Covid passports as vaccines for the disease near approval.
The Travel Pass will display test results together with proof of inoculation, as well as listing national entry rules and details on the nearest labs, the International Air Transport Association said Monday. The app will also link to an electronic copy of the holder's passport to prove their identity.
A test program will begin with British Airways parent IAG SA this year before arriving on Apple devices in the first quarter and Android from April, IATA said. Travelers will be able to share their status with border authorities or present a QR code for scanning.
Atleast the pfizer one isn't.Question for Med-ERA here...I'm on medical treatment that precludes me from being vaccinated with live virus vaccines. Are these corona vaccines on the horizon live (weakened?) virus vaccines?
The main vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) are mRNA vaccines which do not contain a weakened virus or a virus protein. It encodes the body to make the viral protein directly into the body and lets the body learn how to fight the infectionQuestion for Med-ERA here...I'm on medical treatment that precludes me from being vaccinated with live virus vaccines. Are these corona vaccines on the horizon live (weakened?) virus vaccines?
Good. Now how do we go about getting proof once we're vaccinated?
An international recognized certificate of vaccination already exists.How would this work with international travelers? How would people from other countries prove that they have the vaccine? With documents in their own language that no one else can read?
I may as well latch on to this question since I have a similar one, some vaccines are made in eggs and I have a severe allergy to those which means I absolutely cannot have them, are any of the Covid ones a problem for me?Question for Med-ERA here...I'm on medical treatment that precludes me from being vaccinated with live virus vaccines.
