Oh dear. Mr Charles has got so much wrong during the pandemic, so please excuse me if I treat this as just another bit of misinformation from the snake oil salesman.

Normally I'd agree as his 'predictions' are hardly ever right. But he has been told apparently. And Tui says the same

Other sources are claiming they plan to require anyone eligible for a vaccine in the US Will be expected to be vaccinated. The truth is the US government haven’t finalised what they expect never mind letting third parties know! How many times has Paul Charles, Tui, Virgin and various other involved parties predicted the opening of borders?

Right now it’s guess work by all involved and it’s pointless trying to second guess, I’m sorry if that sounds rough or blunt but till the day we see an announcement it’s pointless trying to pre-empt what’s going to happen.

Agree with this. I’ve wasted far too much mental energy on this will we-won’t we situation for far too long.

Not talking about Paul Charles and the US. Others were querying whether unvaccinated children were going to be treated the same as vaxxed parents for the new rules brought in by our government, as there was nothing in the update about under 18s. Tui and PC both said they would be

I’m also worried with the discrepancy around the Oxford vaccine - which I’ve had. Unfortunately there’s not much I can do about that other than continue to worry!

I think you can stop worrying about that. It’s a WHO approved vaccine and there’s no indication that they won’t accept a WHO approved vaccine.👍🏻

I really don't think you need to worry. The CDC website states about their travel vaccination guidance:

"This guidance applies to COVID-19 vaccines currently approved or authorized for emergency use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson [J&J]/Janssen COVID-19 vaccines) and some vaccines used for U.S. participants in COVID-19 vaccine trials (such as Novavax). This guidance can also be applied to COVID-19 vaccines that have been listed for emergency use by the World Health Organization (such as AstraZeneca/Oxford)."

It's not that they don't think it provides good protection, it's just that they haven't approved it for use in the US (I assume due to the risk of blood clots).

Anyone any idea if under 16s will be exempt from needing the vaccine after yesterday’s announcement
