There are billions of people still without access to vaccines—with only 24% of the world being fully vaccinated.
Yet many countries—especially those dependent on tourism—want to open up.
This creates a moral dilemma: if you’re fully vaccinated, should you travel to a country with a lower vaccination coverage?
You may not be the one to transport the virus across a border, but some else inevitably will.
I’m hopefully heading to Greece next week, and they’ve had 52% of the population vaccinated compared to the UK’s 62%.
At the same time, Greece relies on tourism for 20% of its annual economic output and is hoping for a strong rebound from a dismal 2020.
I don’t think there is a right or wrong here, but I’d be keen to know where you stand on the issue.
