Not only is it unfair for the people who haven’t been able to get vaccinated but vaccinated people can still get and spread it. Data is still shifting on viral loads in vaccinated v unvaccinated, as is risk. It is undeniable there is breakthrough in the vaccinated, so the question then is: why have a no jab no play policy at all? (Open question). AZ is available right now to anyone over the age of 18. Discl: I am vaccinated with AZ and am under 50. God, being unable to say under 40 anymore hurts, badly. :sobs: Edited July 30, 2021 by Superunknown 1

Is he saying the AFL could prioritise entry for vaccinated spectators in this year's finals series? Or from 2022 onwards? After listening to the interview with Neil Mitchell and Pakula, both were emphatic that the no jab no entry policy should not and won't be implemented for the grand final.

If people fear they may miss out on something that's important to them it might make them get vaccinated. 1

As long as it is within the official medical advice. ie a 25 year old should not be making a health risk assessment with their doctor RE the risk of the AZ with the "you need this to go to footy finals" over their head. 1
old dee 24,081 Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) I had my second AZ jab this morning, just a few weeks ago I looked at the fixture and I thought I might be able to see the last couple of games at the G. Well it looks the best I can do is perhaps get to the Casey games. Oh well there is still the tenth best option of watching again on TV I guess. Such is life in the 21st century. Oh forgot to mention when I arrived at Sunshine hospital there were 25 people in the Pfizer queue and Zero in AZ, I walked straight in and all was finished in 30 minutes including the compulsory 15 min wait after the injection. Young nurse told they have AZ shots come out of there ears. Edited July 30, 2021 by old dee 3 1

I have that exact thought over my head (except for the 25 year old bit ?) But as stated earlier, I can't see a "no jab no entry policy" into the footy until there is sufficient supply of vaccine.

DeeZee 7,496 Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) Will the Queensland govt allow a game to go ahead? Will the WA government allow us into Perth if we’ve been to Queensland ?? Edited July 31, 2021 by DeeZee
Jaded No More 68,976 Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 How unlucky are we that this didn’t happen yesterday so we could avoid going there? Genuinely a [censored]. Absolutely over this year and this season.
