[QUOTE="Alexis, post: 261095, member: 68"] Everyone is affected by Covid. Yes for the most part younger people seem to deal better with it. However, the virus will continue to mutate and it will not go away. It will be around forever now like Flu. There could in time be strains that affect the young differently. Most of us are vaccinated in childhood against things like Polio, Hepatitis B, Whooping Cough, Tetanus, Diphtheria, Meningitis C and B, Mumps, Measles, Rubella, PCV, Rota virus and HIB. In adulthood there is the Flu vaccine. If you travel, especially to the tropics there are other vaccines and immunisations that are required. Eventually Covid vaccines could be required for all. Certain jobs and professions could even require you to have it. The virus was spread globally in a very short matter of time due to travel. This could happen again seasonally unless something was done to curtail the spread of the virus. If most of the elderly and vulnerable are vaccinated that lowers that possibility. However, younger travellers who are not vaccinated and who think themselves not at risk could potentially spark new variants of the virus and cause all kinds of havoc all over again, just as we think we could be finding our way out of this. If a vaccine is there, and is shown to work, why would you not take it? If it means having a card that says you are free to travel because you have been vaccinated then why not? Or of course we could continue to live in an isolated world with limited contact and limited travel. I have taken the vaccine and lived to tell the tale, and I will take that card/passport too.
