FYI I got the Moderna this week. I would have been very comfortable with the Pfizer because I got my vaccination at a major metropolitan hospital where I know protocols are very good. It was interesting that my Moderna syringe had a tag on it and the number was scanned into their computer. Actually, I realize how absolutely lucky I was to be at the right website at the right time to get that appointment. My vaccine was on Wednesday, NYC ran out on Thursday. Even the nurse at the hospital confirmed that. Second does will be in 28 days. Full immunity will take another two weeks after the second shot. Cuomo said not to worry about availability of second dose because it's a different system. I hope he is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However unlike the US we in the UK have to wait to be called for a vaccine. My dilemma is that my husband who is due in group 4 will have had his but as I am younger I am in group 7 so may not have had mine. Do we still make our final payment which is due soon? I can't see any cruises leaving from the UK until autumn earliest. I think any 2021 cruises will be lucky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyro1952 Posted January 24, 2021 #84 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I got my 1st vaccine shot yesterday. The 2nd is scheduled for 2/20. I do hope that initially Princess require px and crew to be vaccinated. If someone does get Covid, everyone’s cruise is essentially ruined. Why have all that negative publicity when you can just make sure that everyone is vaccinated? I have 2 cruises booked for Oct ‘ ‘21 both leaving from Southampton. If they don’t go I will be disappointed but there is little I can do about it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of us intend to have our vaccines (16 and older in my family), but If children don't get the vaccine, they are germ carriers. I have one child who isn't old enough for the vaccine. Perhaps he won't be allowed to cruise for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel A Posted January 24, 2021 #87 Share Posted January 24, 2021 The Saga web site FAQ's states that if someone is medically exempted from taking the vaccine, they still will be denied boarding. I think having all souls coming onboard (to include the crew and any pilots) should need to be vaccinated at least for several months after restart. I do believe that any number of destinations will be more willing to reopen their doors if everyone getting off a cruise ship has been vaccinated. I also believe it will be more manageable in the beginning to only sail smaller vessels for shorter voyage lengths. I booked a seven day July cruise on a smaller ship on another line out of New York. I'm hoping that cruise goes off, plus I can take a car to the pier without the need for public transit. Princess may have some trouble finding a smaller ship to sail at this point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need the MMR vaccination because I already had Measles, Mumps, and Rubella as a child. I also had Chickenpox. Having had those diseases I don't have any sort of vaccination records for them. Some of the others - Polio and DPT - were very commonly done when I was young but I don't have any sort of record to verify them. I guess the scar on my shoulder might provide partial proof. How in the world would people go about getting documentation of things done 60 or 70 years ago when they were children? A few years ago, NY had an outbreak of measles. I remember as a child having one kind of measles and chicken pox. I still have the scars to prove that. Not know if I had rubella or measles, I had a blood test to see if I was Immune. On a side note, I remember as a kid, going to the school auditorium and was given a polio vaccine in a sugar cube. Afterwards, they rewarded us by showing Snow White.

That’s because Saga is a British company and CDC rules only apply to cruises out of the US. However right now the UK has a “no sail” advisory and I don’t see that being lifted anytime soon.

A vaccine that prevents illness might still allow people to become infected and harbor the virus in their noses long enough to transmit it. New data from Moderna suggest that its vaccine may reduce transmission. Researchers found that people who had one shot were less likely than those in the placebo group to have symptom-free infections in their noses — and therefore less likely to be contagious. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/15/health/covid-moderna-vaccine.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotmay Posted January 24, 2021 #92 Share Posted January 24, 2021 To those who have already been vaccinated, are you given some written proof of this vaccination! I would imagine we will need to prove this in the future, ie., to board a cruise ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind that Saga's protocol is proof of vaccination with both the initial and booster doses and at least 14 days after the second dose. They will probably alter that if the J&J one shot vaccine gets approved and released. But I still think the 14 day requirement will stand. I only mention Saga's protocol because if it works, CLIA and health authorities may want to incorporate their protocols into the requirements for a Conditional Sailing Order.

Well, the travel industry accepts the yellow WHO card (officially the International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis) given for your other travel vaccination. It is filled out by hand and only has a rubber stamp from the clinic that administers the treatment. Come to think of it, when I finally get my vaccination, I'll bring my WHO card and see if they'll endorse it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My yellow card from WHO also has the CDC and the HHS logos on it. I'd bet they will all be acceptable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
