Australia to trial vaccine passports over coming days as post-Covid opening preparation begins

CNN  

CNN — Australians have been told to “dust off passports” after the federal government announced it would begin a trial of vaccine passports with some countries this week – the latest step in Australia’s reopening to the world. Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said that once 80% of Australia’s adult population has received both shots, people will again be allowed to travel overseas. In preparation for reopening, Minister for Trade and Tourism Dan Tehan said Sunday that the government would be trying vaccine passports with a number of major travel destinations through Australia’s diplomatic missions overseas. Any inbound travelers vaccinated overseas must have received shots approved by Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration, which to date only includes Pfizer, AstraZenica, Moderna and Janssen Cilag, Tehan added. “Governments, stakeholders, airports and airlines all need to get around a table, sit down and discuss what … the reopening of Australia’s borders is actually going to look like,” he said.
