Commission proposal for a common vaccination card/passport for EU citizens

https://www.vaccinestoday.eu/stories/eu-considers-vaccination-passport-for-kids/

The ultimate goal of a vaccination passport would be to ensure that children who move between countries with different immunisation schedules do not miss out on crucial vaccinations. A similar scheme is already in place for pets and has helped boost vaccination rates, according to the European Commission.

I would be interested in your take on non-essestial travel within the EU without fines or MHQ. When is that likely ?

I expect it'll remain weird and slightly complicated within the EU at least until the middle of 2022.

Fines for non-essential travel will be gone by the end of June 2021, if not sooner.

The "green list" concept will continue to be used, and since practically all EU countries will be "green list" towards the end of the year, then travel within the EU will be largely unhindered by mid-late Summer 2021. However, until all EU countries have achieved herd immunity, there will still be caution.

So I expect to avoid quarantine, you will have to

- Have started your journey in a green list country, and
- Have proof of vaccination OR proof of recent negative PCR tests. Probably two tests a few days apart.

If someone comes from outside of a green list country (say coming from Brazil to Dublin via Frankfurt), then you will have to quarantine unless you have proof of vaccination that is recognised within the EU.

By early 2022, all EU member states will be functionally finished their vaccination programme, so the requirement for a vaccine passport will be eventually be dropped for intra-EU travel. But only where you start your journey in the EU.

Travellers from outside the EU will still need to show proof of vaccination, but the pool of countries that it doesn't apply to will expand quickly as the likes of the US, UK, Switzerland, etc., will all be vaccinated too and we don't want to hurt tourism.

If there are still virus hotspots in Summer 2022 that don't have it under control, the focus will be on controlling travel to and from these countries rather than trying to control ALL travel in and out.

We got fvcked so badly with this because the big hotspot was slap bang in the middle of the EU and nobody wanted to close down internal travel. If it had been Chile instead of Italy, everyone would have just cut Chile out of the loop without a second thought and it would never have spread. If there are virus hotspots in 2022, they will be poorer countries that will get cut off from the rest of the world without debate.

Health passport Ireland was discussed in length in the conspiracy theory forum...it really does belong there. It is someones idea for a business. A year into the pandemic in Ireland and it still hasn't gotten off the ground as part of the Irish system, so I wouldn't be holding my breath for it.

None of that at all contradicts what I have said. Israel and the UK are two different jurisdictions with very different legal and social environments to ours.
Israel has for some reason seemed to have decided to slow down its vaccine rollout and open up its economy instead.

It's a private venture that has received no traction in Ireland. The existence of a privately-operated app doesn't address the logistical and legal provisions that would be required to make it a thing in Ireland.

As I say, simply vaccinating 70% of the population is easier and quicker than making vaccine certificates mandatory. So that's what will happen.

Just had a look at the website. It also includes a negative test not just proof of vaccination. They may well be needed for travel or attending large sporting/cultural events, but for everyday services ? Can't see it to be honest.

It's far from ideal that they may be needed for concerts etc, but nothing in the past year has been far from ideal. If it meant that I could go to Tallaght and watch Rovers, I'd do it.

An examiner headline isn't government policy.

The headline doesn't even match anything said in the article.

There will be no concept of a "vaccine passport" for access to domestic services in general, in Ireland.

I know that right now for a fact because it took nearly a year to get mandatory hotel quarantine in place.

By the time the logistical, constitutional and legislative frameworks would be in place to have an internal "vaccine passport" operating - even on emergency basis - we will be well over the herd immunity threshold for vaccinations, rendering the passes obsolete.

There may be some limited circumstances where someone cannot enter a facility without vaccination - such as hospitals or nursing homes. But there is no chance whatsoever that you will be forced to show a vaccine cert to go and have a pint in your local.

That’s it people didn’t have a choice and some were made to feel desperate for bringing their children with them. Unfortunately the last year has created so many divisions in our society and brought to the fore the wanna be dictators out there of which your guy above is, and there are plenty more like him. The filthy mask thing is something I have seen as well.Ugh..

I agree, but what can you do if you're not allowed in unless you have the Government approved app? It's like the muzzle. You can't go into a bank, to the supermarket, go on public transport without a mask.

josip

What would probably happen is that (some) shops/hairdressers wouldn't bother checking for vaccinations and allow everyone in claiming "they said they were vaccinated".
Curtain twitchers/self appointed neighbourhood watch, would have difficulty policing it.
The fines would probably be less than the potential profit.

Ya, you're basically limited to anyone who got Pfizer or Moderna in May as no one will have got both AZ doses really. Maybe a hairdresser opens for a day for old people or something, no way you'd have business to reopen properly

Shop staff won’t be interested in policing this either, there’d be a constant stream of dirty unvaccinated trying to blag their way in - I’d be one of them. Maybe standing outside trying to catch someone vaccinated to go in and buy a pair of shoes for me :pac:

One thing taking it voluntary but it you need to be forced via arpathied screw the lot of them we owe it to future generations not to allow this to become normal.

Just off the phone to my mate in scotland, walked into a Barber and got a hair cut yesterday without any bullcrap or vaccination papers.

To me its two very simple questions.

A) It's April 2021, how long is it going to take until a vaccine is available for everybody in the country who wants one?

And , how long will it take to devise and implement a vaccine passport system?

If B takes longer than A then it is a redundant measure, by the time it works it will already be unnecessary.

Simple as that, unless there are ulterior reasons for wanting the covid passports...
