Just to clarify what I was advocating, clearly people can't make the decision whether or not to take the vaccine until it is released to their group in society. I believe that on the last list I saw, I am 11th in rank, so can't see me getting a vaccination before the end of the summer, even though Hancock has this wonderful ambition to get us all done by Easter. Once everyone has been offered vaccination, there should be constraints placed on those people who have chosen not to have it in the areas of life I laid out.
It will be interesting to see if the private medical sector will be offering vaccination at a price which would give people (with money) the chance to get a vaccination and travel to those areas of the world that almost certainly will demand a vaccination certificate before allowing them access to those countries.
