The WHO added that inoculated passengers should not be able to sidestep existing travel restrictions designed to reduce Covid.
Setting out the WHO stance, the interim position paper states: 'At the present time, it is WHO's position that national authorities and conveyance operators should not introduce requirements of proof of COVID-19 vaccination for international travel as a condition for departure or entry.'It is a fresh blow for both holidaymakers and tourism bosses hoping vaccine passports will pave the way for overseas trips.

That people should be mandated to have a vaccine to enjoy greater freedom is a politically divisive issue being fought out in national capitals.

The WHO's paper also says: 'National authorities should choose public health interventions that least infringe on individual freedom of movement.'
What an effing joke. So you get the precious ‘jab’ that Government keeps pushing as being the solution, and then they tell us we still shouldn’t travel and start going about normal activities. Why? Because in the Government’s rush to rush vaccinations through they didn’t account for different variations of the virus, some of which will only be 30% effective. What a joke.
