sandancer Posted December 14, 2020 #5 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Hopefully they will accept the vaccination card. If it is shown alongside a passport. It’s not going to be PC but I think the airlines may follow Quantas and only allow travellers who have been vaccinated to fly. I would be a whole lot more confident about a 10 hour flight to MIA knowing my fellow passengers were safe to travel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly unlikely I would have thought. The card being used has no security features and is trivial to forge if one were so inclined. The only purpose is to track which one you had and to remind you to go for the 2nd shot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExArkie Posted December 14, 2020 #8 Share Posted December 14, 2020 To help explain a bit, maybe: The article linked above is about the Orlando, Florida, airport trying to be in front of the IATA Travel Pass Initiative (https://www.iata.org/en/programs/passenger/travel-pass/) by developing their own system, with a phone app. Problem is that the airport has no authority or significant input outside of its own operations, so whatever they do will almost certainly be revised to match the IATA program, whenever it goes into effect.

Rare cruisestitch Posted December 14, 2020 #10 Share Posted December 14, 2020 And there are so many problems with the idea of the universal passport. Let’s start with the idea of having it be an app. We all know that not everyone has a smart phone, that smart phones sometimes run out of charge, that sometimes there’s no signal or you’re out of data, etc. etc. Then there is the issue of the vaccination itself. They are still hedging their bets in regards to its ability to keep you from giving the virus to someone else. In other words you may not get Covid because you receive the vaccine, but you might still be a carrier. And let’s not forget that the vaccine is contra indicated in a few cases. It’s not recommended if you are pregnant. It’s not recommended if you are allergic to any of its components. They are just so many hurdles along the way to making this “ vaccination passport” a feasible idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted December 15, 2020 #11 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Part of the problem is that all countries need to participate in this. From the US, you can board almost any flight you want without any covid test or temp check. Upon landing is where you would encounter a countries or states (like Hawaii) entry requirements where some require Covid tests and other requires you register that you are quarantining. Unless something changed this December, you could board a flight from the US to Ireland and while you were supposed quarantine for two weeks, many continued on to France or England via non-flight skirting their requirements.

Ride-The-Waves Posted December 15, 2020 #12 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Since the mid-1930s and what is today the "Yellow Card" or Carte Jaune, has provided this for international travelers. The Carte Jaune or Yellow Card, officially called the International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP), is an official vaccination record created by the World Health Organization (WHO). It is a kind of 'medical passport' that is recognised internationally and may be required for entry to certain countries where there are increased health risks for travellers. The Yellow Card should be kept in the holder's passport. We last used ours traveling in Africa several years ago. Post WWII in Europe the Yellow Card was asked for at borders before they asked for passports. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have one and have it completed whenever I'm vaccinated, but haven't needed to show it when travelling for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is and has been the record of vaccination for decades. It would be better if if contained a peel off sticker with manufacturer and lot number, but that's kind of archaic in this day and age... BTW, this thread has now been visited by a troll who has only posted on vaccine related threads on CC for months. Ignoring and not replying has proven useful on other threads. Replying and applying logic will do nothing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any document can be forged but apps are 100% secure? Besides, if international travel is going to require proof of vaccination, they are going to have to devise a system that isn't dependent upon technology not readily available to underdeveloped, poverty-stricken, and marginalized regions and populations of the world.

It just means your symptoms will allegedly be less severe should you contact covid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping there will be a system in place for those who cannot have the vaccine, or even those who’ve already had covid and are not recommended to be vaccinated. My son will be under age when we travel so he won’t be vaccinated. I have similar concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
