Vaccine Passports17 Mar 2021 14:22
I just can't believe its about having a vaccine. Surely its about being able to demonstrate an immunity to the designated variants of concern at any point of entry.
I.e there are 30 variants. The UK decide there are 5 you must demonstrate immunity from to gain access to work, events, public places. These must be demonstrated by having antibody tests for these viruses regularly as feeding the results back into a national database. Once you levels drop below a certain point you need testing more frequently until the point of having a booster.
If you can't demonstrate I'm.unity to all 5 variants you cant get in place, therefore people having a vaccine need to consider the variants they are vaccinated against and how long immunity last for against each variant.
Just having a vaccine when no one knows how long each individual will remain immune for and not against all variants cannot IMO ever be considered a credible solution.
