Do you think it’s lawful for an Airline to require vaccination in order to fly?
It will depend upon the liabilities incurred by an airline if it did not.
Well. From the news I have read, the vaccination that has at least 60% effective, is allowed to be used. So, it means it may works and it may not. Many people cannot have vaccination due to their health condition. Therefore, personally, it should not be the standard or the be lawful for airlines. In addition, I do not want to be pessimistic, but it may have another virus which can cause pandemic. Then, new vaccination is needed. Then, we go to another cycle of making vaccination. So, having a certification of health condition is enough.
I think vaccine is a major mean of prevention and every country posses own rules for protection from such pandemic among these rules certificate of vaccination.
Yes and No.
Countries can have their own rules for the international travellers in which they may make it mandatory for travellers from other countries to carry vaccination certificate. So Yes it can be made mandatory.
The airlines may not make it mandatory because it will further hit them and affect their business.
Vaccination and medication are personal choices. It can't be forced on any individual. So the law enforcing agencies too can't ensure this.
Individual Govts would not like to enforce such a law because it would put pressure on them to make vaccine available for free and at the earliest.
The head of International Air Transport Association (IATA), Alexandre de Juniac, urged governments to relax quarantine rules and borders bans in favour of testing but remained wary of the compulsory vaccination plan for international passengers.
Testing can be made mandatory but making Vaccination has got lot many other aspects to it.
No. But it might be legal to demonstrate immunity. In other words, focusing on the method abridges freedom, but requiring a health condition without specifying how it was achieved might not.
It is not free or privet matter but major way to prevent infection.Best regards
Salameh Barhoom,
1. vaccine manufacturers themselves state that you still can get the virus after vaccination, but it will not be in a hard form.
2. Also, you probably know that immunity is much longer, if achieved naturally.
Many people already had that illness.
3. There are people who already got anaphylaxis from those shots.
4. There are many other health conditions, when this vaccination is harmfu.
First of all there is to say that, according to the instructions of the same producer of the vaccine: Pfizer, this type of vaccination doesn't provide full coverage from COVID 19 virus infection, so, what is vaccination made for, if there is no guarantee to be protected? Secondly, let's assume you are vaccinated and I am not. If you trust your vaccination, it means that you are sure and safe from the possible virus i can spread around me, for this reason there is no need for everybody to be vaccinated. The ones that feel more safe with vaccination, will do it and will be sure that vaccination will protect them from other people not vaccinated. In synthesis, there is no need for everybody to be vaccinated so airlines are wrong to ask to their customer/passengers to be vaccinated to travel on their aircraft.
I believe it would be legal to require a vaccine to fly. Especially if there was a requirement in place from a foreign government requiring it prior to any travel or business efforts being allowed. Th airlines could require either a negative COVID test prior to boarding (required of many international flights today) or proof of the Vaccine. The PCR test is a huge hassle. I had to take 12 of them (while over seas) in a 3 month period. Many may prefer the vaccine to the continuous COVID - PCR tests mandated by some foreign governments.
