gotta love all the travel bubble talk a month or so ago, and 'no rush to get the vaccine flowing before march'

Yes, the bubble fizzer. Apparently, we are meant to view the rest of the world as guinea pigs for the vax.

Guinea pigs who are getting the benefit of COVID vaccinations, while we wait for what? The month of March, I guess.

I think they are waiting for the Oxford approval to come.

Much rather have Oxford than Pfizer or Moderna.

Which year?

Now Hong Kong is extending hotel quarantine for all arrivals except those from China,Macau and Taiwan.
As well anyone who has spent more than 2 hours in the UK in the 21 days before boarding including the day of boarding can not board for travel to Hong Kong.

I think it's already in production in Australia. Yesterday read that Greg Hunt had said their target was to complete immunisations here by end of October.

Yeh I am fairly confident that March to October roll out is 100% accurate.

Unfortunately, I am also fairly confident that travel ban will be in place until end of vaccination period (Q4 2021). None of this opening up travel for vaccinated travelers as and when they get vaccinated or allowing overseas people to come in if they get vaccinated overseas.

Travel will only open once EVERYONE gets vaccinated in Australia.

Well, I hope it’s well before that. There are those who do not want the vax, and it’s not going to be compulsory.

 

[DC3]

Will there be choices?

Edit: May be more like a flight that I read about,

FA: Will you be having dinner?
Pax: What are the choices?
FA: YES, or NO.

 

[Must...Fly!]

Well, I hope it’s well before that. There are those who do not want the vax, and it’s not going to be compulsory.

I doubt you'll find a country that will allow entry without a vaccination certificate.

 

[DC3]

I doubt you'll find a country that will allow entry without a vaccination certificate.

I hope that will speed things up. As to what type of vax certificate will be acceptable to which countries, .........?

Agree, best case scientific boffins around the world provide Scomo, Hunt & Co sufficient good news on virus immunity + transmitability that they open borders for vaccinated by mid September 2021, otherwise yes, December 2021, even March 2022 (NOTING THIS WOULD BE A FULL 2 YEARS OF CLOSED BORDERS - YIKES).

Can only hope.

 

[oznflfan]

P.S. I'm a little obsessed with when borders open, and planning all sorts of travel once I can leave. Can't do all at once though.

Oxford is clearly their preference given the ease of logistics of distribution. And cost. Something like around $6 compared with I've read, $70 with the two current ones.
