Definitely, If you want to travel, it's your responsibility to protect not only yourself, but also others.
Interesting to see conditions that may also be imposed on travel insurance as well.

Yes - why would we risk more shut downs and more deaths
Sally
Definitely not !!! Vaccines have not been sufficiently researched to be authoritative as a great protector
Jameden
Yes i do think this is a good idea, as we need to protect our Country from this virus and from future Viruses as well.

Getting vaccinated should be a choice. If I didn’t get vaccinated and got the virus, I am the one who suffer from it. My body my choice.
sheena
but not the choice of other airline passengers, if they contract the virus from you.

Yes to protect everyone aboard
s
Yes.
But not now maybe December this year.
Because not everyone is eligible to have a vaccine at the moment.
And the vaccine roll out is very slow compared to other countries for example England did 25 million people in 100 days.
We need more places to get the vaccine not just some doctor's surgery's and some hospitals.
But the government does not seem to be in a hurry but we are getting more cases 2 in Queensland so far as of today.
And one in NSW both locally transmitted.
Today we may get to 500,000 vaccinated but in the first round here is 6 million.
Cases can increase rapidly it only takes one unknowingly infected person to increase the cases especially if they have been to many different places.
We have this now happening in Queensland.
The government has been working on a vaccination passport last year.
Sally
there is no legal basis for any vaccination passports

Then we all need to contact our local MP's and get them to organise a law that does provide a legal basis (with exemptions for those medically unable to have the vaccination) so that we are all protected. Those that don't want a vaccination don't need to travel. Problem solved.

yes

Yes

Yes - to protect themselves from litigation if someone can prove they caught the virus on the plane
Tradlee
yes
camnhoj
yes

Yes, definitely I think. Would feel much safer sitting on a plane knowing everyone else on board has been vaccinated especially international flights. Hope to get flying "safely" soon.
